'''Taranza''' is a young, clumsy wizard with arachnid-like characteristics who serves as a prominent character in | '''Taranza''' is a young, clumsy wizard with arachnid-like characteristics who serves as a prominent character in many games in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. He first appeared in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' when, on orders from [[Queen Sectonia]], he kidnapped [[King Dedede]] in order to prevent him from foiling their plans to conquer [[Floralia]]. In the end, however, he realized he had captured the wrong target, as [[Kirby]] would pursue him all the way to the queen's chambers and defeat them in combat. Taranza would later be betrayed by his queen, and eventually come to Kirby and King Dedede's aid in dispatching her after she had [[Flowered Sectonia|merged with]] the [[Dreamstalk]]. From then on, he would be an ally to Kirby and King Dedede. | ||
Since ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'', Taranza has made various appearances in subsequent games. In ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'', he serves as one of the principal villains, and is battled directly for the first time in the series (he also serves as a more minor plot element in ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]''). This is where he gained the moniker of '''The Puppeteer Magician'''. Taranza would become playable for the first time as a [[Dream Friend]] in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', though he does not serve a specific role in the game's story. He has also made minor appearances in ''[[Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe]]'', ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', and ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]''. | Since ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'', Taranza has made various appearances in subsequent games.

Taranza is a floating creature who greatly resembles a spider, and bears similar anatomy to [[Magolor]]. His body is divided into a head and a torso, which simultaneously resembles a spider's cephalothorax and abdomen. He has brown skin, and on his head he has eight eyes (one pair on his face, one pair on his forehead, and two pairs on the back of his head), a mouth with two visible fangs, silver hair, and orange horns that resemble pincers. Over his torso, he wears a red scarf with a green web-patterned cape. He has three pairs of disembodied, gloved hands. At the bottom of his torso, he has a stubby "tail", which resembles a spinneret. In ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' and ''Super Kirby Clash'', Taranza dresses in a dark color scheme | Taranza is a floating creature who greatly resembles a spider, and bears similar anatomy to [[Magolor]].

The name Taranza is partially based on the name of the large spider family known as the [[wikipedia:tarantula|tarantula]]. This is a possible misnomer however, as tarantulas are generally more passive than other spiders, as well as much hairier. | The name Taranza is partially based on the name of the large spider family known as the [[wikipedia:tarantula|tarantula]].

====Main Story==== | |||
Taranza returns in the spinoff title ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'', serving the role of the main antagonist and driving the various monsters to attack the [[Dream Kingdom]]. His ultimate triumph is in subduing and bending [[Landia]] the Guardian Angel to his will, who continues to fight even after he is defeated. It is later revealed that Taranza was being influenced by a powerful evil object known as the [[Black Mirror]], and to return Taranza to a friendly demeanor, Team Kirby must destroy this mirror, dealing with everything it summons in the process. | Taranza returns in the spinoff title ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'', serving the role of the main antagonist and driving the various monsters to attack the [[Dream Kingdom]].

It is later revealed that Taranza was being influenced by a powerful evil object known as the [[Black Mirror]], and to return Taranza to a friendly demeanor, Team Kirby must destroy this mirror, dealing with everything it summons in the process. | ||
Unlike in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', Taranza is fought directly as a [[boss]] in this title, serving as the fourth Ordeal boss. He floats around the battlefield, tossing magic energy at Team Kirby from the foreground and background. He is also capable of ensnaring the Kirbys in a magic net, rendering them useless for a time. His ability to float about and teleport makes him a difficult target for Team Kirby, but like other floating enemies, he is vulnerable to the [[Beam Mage]]'s Time Beam spell. | Unlike in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', Taranza is fought directly as a [[boss]] in this title, serving as the fourth Ordeal boss.

In this game, Taranza's model was updated from ''Triple Deluxe''. Most notably, his mouth is now part of his model rather than a texture, meaning he can freely open and close it. His hair is similarly fully-modeled, and his scarf is longer, details which carry over to his future appearances. His color scheme is also altered to be primarily red and purple, though he returns to his original palette once he has been subdued. | In this game, Taranza's model was updated from ''Triple Deluxe''.

====Postgame Story==== | |||
The story is not over yet after [[Landia]] EX is defeated and the credits roll. Two invaders from [[Another Dimension]] strike the Dream Kingdom, namely [[Parallel Susie]] and [[Parallel Landia]]. | |||
After the two parallel invaders are defeated, the [[Black Mirror]] brings forth Taranza's evil counterpart, [[Dark Taranza]]. Team Kirby must fight Dark Taranza and [[King D-Mind|his master]] in the true final battles. | |||
After Team Kirby win the true final battles and eventually bring peace back to the Dream Kingdom, the friendly Taranza will stay in the town and sit on [[Magolor's Shoppe]], looking at a flower in his hand in memory of [[Queen Sectonia|his queen]]. | |||
