'''Goriath''' is a yeti-like [[boss]] that appears in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its remake—''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''. He appears as the boss of [[White Wafers]] and guards the [[Lor Starcutter]]'s Emblem. Most of his attacks are direct melee attacks, such as punches and stomps, though he will also climb the walls and throw objects such as snowballs, or shoot beams from his hand (similar to [[Fighter]] [[Kirby]]).


The name "Goriath" is a portmanteau of the words "gorilla" and "[[wikipedia:Goliath|Goliath]]". Despite this, he really isn't that large, especially compared to Kirby's height of only eight inches.
'''Goriath''' is a yeti-like boss that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|{{KRDL KAW}}]].'' He appears as the boss of [[White Wafers]] and guards the [[Lor Starcutter]]'s Emblem. Most of his attack are direct melee attacks, such as punches and stomps, though he will also climb the walls and throw objects such as snowballs, or shoot beams from his hand (similar to [[Fighter]] Kirby).


==Characteristics==
==Appearance==
Goriath's body is somewhat pear-shaped, his face taking up most of it. This makes his physique similar to a [[Waddle Dee]], though his feet and arms are more defined. His fur covers his body, which is largely white in tone (much like the [[wikipedia:Japanese macaque|Japanese snow monkey]]), though it has red, spiky accents near the hands. His skin is tan, and his face resembles that of an ape, with baboon-like red marks on his cheeks. He also sports a long beard and a similarly long tuft of hair on his head, which is gray in color.

When Goriath is knocked down to half health, he charges up and his beard and hair tuft turn golden. He also begins to glow and his eyes turn red.

In [[Extra Mode]], Goriath's skin is dark gray, his eyes are white, his face marks are of several colors (ranging from blue to lavender), his hair tuft and beard have a blue tint at first, and his wrist hair is brown. These changes cause him to more closely resemble a [[wikipedia:mandrill|mandrill]].
In [[Extra Game|Extra Mode]], Goriath's skin is dark gray, his face marks are of several colors, ranging from blue to lavender, his hair tuft and beard have a blue tint at first, and his wrist hair is brown.

==Attacks==
===''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''===
When [[Kirby]] enters the arena he is fought in, Goriath jumps down from the sky. He beats down upon the ground, causing the stage to crumble beneath his mighty blows.
[[File:KRtDL Super Goriath screenshot.png|thumb|100px|Goriath's appearance in the second phase of the fight, in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'']]
In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', when Kirby enters the arena Goriath is fought in, the big ape jumps down from the sky. He beats down upon the ground, causing the stage to crumble beneath his mighty blows.


Goriath has a unique feature to his boss fight, in that, as the fight progresses, he will pound the stage with his fists to make it crumble, causing everyone to fall to a lower stage with a different layout. This is done up to four times before the fight is over.

When Goriath is defeated, he reverts to his look before the second phase and gets knocked into the background, where he cartoonishly falls to his doom.

====Role in Merry Magoland====
[[File:KRtDLD Merry Magoland Goriath visit unlock.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Goriath is ready to hang out.]]
Exclusively in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', after Goriath is defeated in Story Mode, he will appear in [[Merry Magoland]] the next time Kirby visits it, hanging off the side of the main castle toward the left, and chatting with some nearby [[Waddle Dee]]s. Two [[Mask#Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe|Dress-Up Mask]]s based on Goriath's regular and EX forms can be worn, provided the player has defeated him in both Story Mode and [[Extra Mode]], respectively.

===Cameo appearances===
{{Quote|This hat is designed to look like a mighty ape who lives in icy heights.|'''Goriath Hat''' description from ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]''}}
In ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'', one of the pieces of [[Costumes|Headgear]] for the [[Fighter]] ability is a hat that is based on Goriath, named the '''Goriath Hat''', and costs 3000 Battle Coins. The same hat returns in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', where it is unlocked at a [[Fighters Rank]] of 85. The hat itself resembles Goriath's appearance during the second phase of his boss battle in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*When Goriath's health drops below the half-way point, his hair turns golden and he begins to glow, and he's able to fire beams from his hand. This could be [[List of references in the Kirby series|a vague nod to the ''Dragon Ball'' anime series]].
*When Goriath's health drops below the half-way point, his hair turns golden and he begins to glow, and is able to fire beams from his hand. This could be [[List of cultural references in the Kirby universe|a vague nod to the Dragonball anime series]].
*In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', the boss [[Gorimondo]] reuses many of Goriath's sound effects in battle, in addition to their similar names.
*The name 'Goriath' is a portmanteau of the words 'Gorilla' and 'Goliath'.  Despite this, he really isn't that large, especially compared to Kirby's height of only eight inches.
*One of the alternate costumes for the [[Fighter]] ability in ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'' is a hat that resembles Goriath.
*Goriath is the only boss in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|{{KRDL KAW}}]]'' (and one of the few bosses in the entire series) who can change their stage's layout. Goriath does so by smashing the floor with his fists.
