Gao Gao[Japanese title] is a Mid-Boss exclusively found in Kirby: Squeak Squad which yields the Animal ability when defeated.
Gao Gao resembles a large blue carnivoran with massive claws. It attacks by performing lunging and spinning attacks, and can also perform high spinning jumps. It dazes itself rather easily, making it relatively simple to defeat.
Gao Gao can be found in Nature Notch - Stage 3, Vocal Volcano - Stage 3, Ice Island - Stage 1, and Gamble Galaxy - Stage 3. Unlike other mid-bosses, it is not replaced with Tedhaun if Kirby has the completed Ghost Medal.
