'''Greater Doomer''' is a spectral bird-like entity from [[Another Dimension]] that is encountered twice in ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'' and seven more times in ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]''. As its name suggests, its size and power is intermediate between a [[Sphere Doomer]] and the [[Grand Doomer]]. Greater Doomer appears twice during the events of ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe''--once in the Ruins, and again in the Dunes. Unlike the other standard enemy encounters, it bears both its own theme music and a unique entrance. In ''Super Kirby Clash'', it has many more appearances, and appears alongside [[Telepathos]] and [[Venom Kracko]] to form Team Floatrio.

==Description==
Greater Doomer resembles an ordinary purple Sphere Doomer, but is much larger, and bears more tail feathers. Unlike its relatives, Greater Doomer's mouth does not contain a sphere, but instead a black void. Like the Grand Doomer, it can manifest itself in Kirby's native dimension to do battle with him.
{{quote|A lost bird's wings spread across the dimensions and blend into the night sky...|Tougher Quest flavor text from ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' and ''Super Kirby Clash''}}
Greater Doomer resembles an ordinary Sphere Doomer, but it is much larger, its coat is a solid color rather than shimmering, and it bears more tail feathers (which appears to be correlated to its power level, as it still has less than the Grand Doomer). Unlike its relatives, Greater Doomer's mouth does not contain a sphere, but instead a black void. It is notably the only Doomer shown to be capable of opening dimensional rifts under its own power — Grand Doomer also crosses dimensions, but only through a rift created by the [[Lor Starcutter]]'s mast. In addition to standard flight, Greater Doomer is also capable of teleporting.

Greater Doomer's attacks are borrowed from both its smaller and larger relatives. It can fire and drop orbs, rocket across the screen, teleport around, burst in dark energy, and swoop about the stage. Its airborne nature and teleporting makes it difficult for Team Kirby to attack consistently, but it is more vulnerable to the [[Beam Mage]]'s Time Beam effect than grounded enemies are.

Greater Doomer is a spectral bird-like entity from Another Dimension that is encountered twice in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and seven more times in Super Kirby Clash. As its name suggests, its size and power is intermediate between a Sphere Doomer and the Grand Doomer. Greater Doomer appears twice during the events of Team Kirby Clash Deluxe--once in the Ruins, and again in the Dunes. Unlike the other standard enemy encounters, it bears both its own theme music and a unique entrance. In Super Kirby Clash, it has many more appearances, and appears alongside Telepathos and Venom Kracko to form Team Floatrio.

Greater Doomer resembles an ordinary Sphere Doomer, but it is much larger, its coat is a solid color rather than shimmering, and it bears more tail feathers (which appears to be correlated to its power level, as it still has less than the Grand Doomer). Unlike its relatives, Greater Doomer's mouth does not contain a sphere, but instead a black void. It is notably the only Doomer shown to be capable of opening dimensional rifts under its own power — Grand Doomer also crosses dimensions, but only through a rift created by the Lor Starcutter's mast. In addition to standard flight, Greater Doomer is also capable of teleporting.

Attacks

Greater Doomer's attacks are borrowed from both its smaller and larger relatives. It can fire and drop orbs, rocket across the screen, teleport around, burst in dark energy, and swoop about the stage. Its airborne nature and teleporting makes it difficult for Team Kirby to attack consistently, but it is more vulnerable to the Beam Mage's Time Beam effect than grounded enemies are.

The following are all of Greater Doomer's attacks in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash. Note that most attack names are derived from the Sphere Doomers' appearances in Kirby's Return to Dream Land while others are conjectural:
