Clip of the theme used in Pyribbit's boss battle from Kirby: Triple Deluxe

 This box: view • talk • edit 
“ This toasty toad is so hot, he uses molten lava for his bathwater! His favorite hobbies are causing volcanic eruptions and hopping all over the place! ”
— VS Pyribbit, Special Page from Kirby: Triple Deluxe

Pyribbit is a boss first confronted in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. He is a massive ovaloid pyroclastic frog with a small tail who is often referred to as the "Volcano Lord". He resembles a giant horned toad, though he bears a crown and has no arms. His crown appears to be a smoldering caldera, out of which magma and igneous boulders can be spewed. He can also swim and survive in lava and breathe fire, along with having the ability to cause tremors and summon lava waves.

His English name is a portmanteau of the words 'pyro' (a Greek prefix for fire) and 'ribbit' (an onomatopoeia for a frog’s croak). This reflects the fact that the boss is a fire-breathing toad.

Game appearances

Kirby: Triple Deluxe

Pyribbit is the boss of Kirby: Triple Deluxe's fifth Level, Endless Explosions, and is also battled in Royal Road Stage 4 and in The Arena.

Pyribbit makes his first appearance when Kirby enters the boss door of Endless Explosions. After he makes his way inside, Kirby sees the giant frog-like monster sleeping. Taranza then throws a rock at Pyribbit, waking him up. Kirby catches the rock in his hands as it bounces back at him. However, Pyribbit assumes Kirby woke him from his slumber since the puffball is holding the rock, and they face off. In Dededetour!, Pyribbit is angered when King Dedede trips and accidentally tosses his hammer into the giant toad's face.

Attacks

The following lists all of Pyribbit's attacks in Story Mode and The Arena in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. Attacks in italics are used in the second phase of the fight only. Most attack names are derived from official Japanese strategy guides where applicable.

Pyribbit's normal attacks in Kirby: Triple Deluxe  
Attack Description
フレイムリング
Flame Ring 		Pyribbit charges up, then hops toward Kirby and unleashes a ring of fire that spreads across the ground, leaving a couple stars in the process.
捕食
Predation 		Pyribbit dives into the lava, then he pops his head out and back in a couple times, getting closer each time. He finishes by shooting his tongue out at Kirby, which, if it hits, will cause Kirby to hit the screen and lose his Copy Ability.
溶岩爆弾
Lava Bomb 		Pyribbit jumps into the lava, then spits out a large boulder at Kirby that can explode. The boulder can be inhaled with concerted effort, and swallowed for the Fire ability. In the second phase, Pyribbit will shoot these from one of his pillars, and may shoot more than one at a time. If the boulders explode on the ground, they will leave lingering burning spots.
バウンドプレス
Bound Press 		After performing an attack from the lava, Pyribbit can return by jumping high into the air, then landing after an extended period of time. He then starts bouncing between the foreground and background in a chaotic display that can be tough to avoid, leaving stars on his final landing. In the second phase, his ricochets become more numerous and chaotic.
溶岩の柱攻撃
Lava Pillar Attack 		Pyribbit jumps to the volcano, and roars, summoning waves of lava with faces on it (resembling Magman) which sweep toward the stage, covering most of it in the process. The waves leave stars after each pass. If Kirby is hit by the waves, he will be knocked into lava in the foreground for additional damage.
火炎放射
Flamethrower 		Pyribbit charges up and releases a burning pillar of fire from his mouth that covers most of the stage and leaves stars on impact with the opposing wall of the stage. In phase 2, Pyribbit might instead break the fourth wall by breathing fire at the screen, leaving a blackened char and making it hard for the player to see clearly, before spinning around while still breathing fire to try and hit Kirby.
火山岩攻撃
Volcanic Rock Attack 		Pyribbit jumps into the volcano, causing it to erupt and fire him out along with many large boulders that then rain down onto the stage. When Pyribbit lands, he leaves stars. He will then jump straight back into the volcano to try two more times.
ファウンテン オブ ファイア
Fountain of Fire 		Pyribbit charges up and gushes lava out of his crown, creating streams that pour down on both sides of him. He then spins around while the streams are still going, leaving stars when the streams dry out.

Pyribbit spends most of his time off the stage, which can make him difficult to hit. As such, his fight tends to last longer than the prior bosses' fights. In his second phase, Pyribbit summons four stone platforms out of the lava that float in the air, and a volcano in the background. These become fixtures for Pyribbit to perform more attacks from.

Upon defeat, Pyribbit gets knocked into the background lava pit, where he then surfaces and starts roaring. The pillars the boss summoned during his second phase then inexplicably fly in toward the crying toad and crash into him, burying him beneath the surface of the lava and destroying him. The Grand Sun Stone then emerges from above for Kirby to collect.

Pyribbit DX

Pyribbit DX, from Kirby: Triple Deluxe
“ He quenches his thirst with boiling magma and snacks on molten lava rocks. The most unforgiving environments are comforting for Pyribbit. ”
— VS Pyribbit DX, Special Page from Kirby: Triple Deluxe

Pyribbit DX is a stronger version of Pyribbit who is fought in Dededetour! by King Dedede and in The True Arena by Kirby. He has a green body, a pink mustache, and a green flame lit on his crown instead of a regular flame.

The following lists all of Pyribbit DX's attacks in Dededetour! and The True Arena in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. Attacks in italics are used in the second phase of the fight only. Note that the attack names are conjectural:

Kirby: Planet Robobot

From Team Kirby Clash
“ A giant Flaming Frog?! Quick! Spank it silly before it hops back to the volcano! ”
— Quest description from Team Kirby Clash

In Kirby: Planet Robobot, Pyribbit appears as the fourth boss of the Sub-Game, Team Kirby Clash. He fights in almost exactly the same manner as he did in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, but his health is much greater to serve as a challenge for four Kirby warriors.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe & Super Kirby Clash

Pyribbit as he appears in Super Kirby Clash.
“ In the heart of a red-hot Volcano, the frog of flames, Pyribbit, leapt from the roiling magma. Team Kirby faced its fourth ordeal! ”
— Flavor text from Super Kirby Clash

Pyribbit is encountered twice in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and four more times in Super Kirby Clash. He fights faithfully to his original Kirby: Triple Deluxe incarnation in these fights, though some of his background moves have been toned down. He is exclusively fought in the Volcano region, where he can take advantage of the background props.

In Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, Pyribbit serves as the third Ordeal in his first encounter, and in Super Kirby Clash, he is the fourth Ordeal. Defeating him in the Ordeals of both games unlocks the Empyrean. In Super Kirby Clash, Pyribbit EX can also be encountered. The main difference between Pyribbit DX and Pyribbit EX is that the crown and mustache on Pyribbit EX are both larger than Pyribbit DX's. Otherwise, both look almost identical.

Attacks

“ This king of frogs and magma emerges from the flaming mountain to attack Team Kirby! ”
— Additional flavor text from Super Kirby Clash

The following lists all of Pyribbit and Pyribbit EX's attacks in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash:

Pyribbit's attacks in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe & Super Kirby Clash  
Attack Description
Burning Spin Pyribbit charges up, then hops toward the middle of the arena and unleashes a ring of fire that spreads across the ground.
Tongue Strike Pyribbit dives into the lava, then he pops his head out and back in a couple times, getting closer each time. He finishes by shooting his tongue out at a pre-determined member of Team Kirby, which, if it hits, will cause that Kirby to be eaten. Pyribbit will then jump back on stage and start chewing, but will be left dazed if the eaten Kirby manages to escape.
Boulder Bomb Pyribbit jumps into the lava, then spits out a number of large boulders at Team Kirby that can explode. The boulder can be destroyed in advance, though the timing is difficult. In the second phase, Pyribbit will shoot these from one of his pillars, and may shoot more than one at a time. If the boulders explode on the ground, they will leave lingering burning spots.
Ricochet Slam After performing an attack from the lava, Pyribbit can return by jumping high into the air, then landing after an extended period of time. He then starts bouncing between the foreground and background in a chaotic display that can be tough to avoid. In the second phase, his ricochets become more numerous and chaotic.
Wave Attack Pyribbit jumps to the volcano, and roars, summoning a wave of lava with faces on it (resembling Magman) which sweep toward the stage, covering most of it in the process. Any Kirby hit by the wave will be knocked into lava in the foreground for additional damage.
Fire Breath Pyribbit charges up and releases a burning pillar of fire from his mouth that covers most of the stage.
Screen Char Pyribbit breathes fire at the screen, leaving a blackened char and making it hard for the player to see clearly, then he spins around while still breathing fire to try and hit Kirby. This technique breaks the fourth wall.
Eruption Pyribbit jumps into the volcano, causing it to erupt and fire him out along with many large boulders that then rain down onto the stage. Pyribbit lands after the boulders do.
Lava Fountain Pyribbit charges up and gushes lava out of his crown, creating streams that pour down on both sides of him. He then spins around while the streams are still going.

Trivia

  • In terms of the way he looks, Pyribbit closely resembles Fatty Puffer from Kirby's Return to Dream Land. They also shoot pressurized liquids out of both of their mouths: Pyribbit uses fire in his case, while Fatty Puffer uses concentrated water.
  • Pyribbit is actually in the lava pool in the background of his arena when the rematch with him in Royal Road starts and upon subsequent rematches in Endless Explosions, making him the only boss in that game to change their starting location.
  • Unlike the other bosses that Taranza conjures and/or empowers, the only thing Taranza does to aggravate Pyribbit is to throw a stone in his face. Additionally, during Dededetour!, King Dedede simply trips and his hammer flies into Pyribbit DX's face, which initiates the battle.
  • Pyribbit is the only boss who has both a DX and EX form.
