'''Tropic Woods''', titled '''Unfriendly Fronds''', is a [[boss]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], making its debut in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. It is a tropical spin-off of the [[Whispy Woods]] family, resembling both a palm tree and a pineapple with its bulbous trunk and dense foliage. It also has a small soul patch beard made of grass-like fibers under its mouth. Some of its abilities include using its roots to entrap [[Kirby]] and dropping a mesh fence in front of its face for protection.

Tropic Woods appears as the boss of [[Everbay Coast]], being fought in the stage [[The Tropical Terror]]. As might be expected for a plant, and as confirmed by [[Shinya Kumazaki]] in the developer interview for ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' in the June 2022 issue of Nintendo Dream Magazine, Tropic Woods is not a member of the [[Beast Pack]], "...although it is acquainted with [them]..."<ref>[https://gigi9714.wordpress.com/2022/07/31/translation-of-the-kirby-and-the-forgotten-land-interview-from-the-june-2022-edition-of-nintendo-dream/ Gigi's translation of the interview from the June 2022 edition of Nintendo Dream]</ref> As such, unlike other bosses, Tropic Woods is the only end-of-level boss to not be refought in the [[Redgar Forbidden Lands]].

Tropic Woods is also faced in the [[Colosseum]]'s Meta Knight Cup and The Ultimate Cup. It has a stronger variant in the [[Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams|isolated isles of Forgo Dreams]] and The Ultimate Cup Z called [[Phantom Tropic Woods]].

==Attacks==
Being a relative of Whispy Woods, Tropic Woods is a largely stationary boss (being only able to swivel its face towards its target), and as such, its attacks mainly consist of throwing out projectiles and reaching through the ground with its roots. Much like Whispy Woods, Tropic Woods sheds a single tear after it is defeated.

Tropic Woods has 1,350 HP in [[The Tropical Terror]] and 945 HP at the [[Colosseum]]. It transitions to the second phase once its HP is 50% or less and takes 0.8X damage during the entire second phase. It also takes 0.2X damage when roaring at the start of the battle and during the transition to phase 2.<ref name="FL">[https://docs.google.com/file/d/1UF0W1OgjFWUjTaUEs_jakGtbVUA_vVHt/view ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''  damage and health spreadsheet (Japanese)]</ref>

The following are all of Tropic Woods' attacks (attack names are from the ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land Perfect Support Guide'').

!Notes
|-
|'''トロピカルナッツ落とし'''<br>''Tropical Nut Drop''
|Tropic Woods drops large coconut boulders down from its canopy which impact the sand and then explode after a moment, leaving a [[Dropped Star]] behind. The coconuts can be inhaled with enough time.
|
|-
|'''空気弾'''<br>''Air Bullet''
|Tropic Woods breathes in and spits out an [[Air Bullet]] at its target, traveling forward a moderate distance before leaving a Dropped Star behind.
|The air bullets can destroy the dropped coconuts.
|-
!colspan=3|'''Second phase only''' &nbsp;
|-
|'''トロピカルブレス'''<br>''Tropical Breath''
|Tropic Woods breathes in and lets out a whole wave of Air Bullets in quick succession along a long arc.
|Tropic Woods always begins the second phase with this attack.
|-
|'''フェンスウォール'''<br>''Fence Wall''
|Tropic Woods brings up a large metal fence to guard part of its trunk, causing two Dropped Stars to appear on the sides when it pops up and knocking close attackers away. Attacks toward the fence will be deflected. The fence drops down after a while, typically being redeployed in a new position soon thereafter.
|
|-
|'''南国スクスク大成長'''<br>''Tropical Growing Great Growth''
|Tropic Woods sends out two large snaking roots that tunnel through the earth and fence Kirby in, creating Dropped Stars whenever they pierce the ground. These can be stood on after they stop or destroyed by attacking them to satisfy a [[Mission (Kirby and the Forgotten Land)|mission]] objective in the main boss stage. If not destroyed, they will eventually be withdrawn.
