'''Hyness''', titled '''Officiant of Doom''', is the principal villain in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', serving as the penultimate [[boss]] in Story Mode. He is a mad priest who worships [[Void Termina]], and leads his cult from the fortress world [[Jambandra]], where his dark god was sealed in [[List of rumors of ancient civilizations in the Kirby series|ancient times]]. Known as the Officiant of Doom, Hyness is a venerable wizard who conceals himself in a white robe with long trailing sleeves and a veil that covers his face, such that only his beady yellow eyes can be seen. While his shape and motions would suggest he has limbs, these are never seen from under the robe, which makes it entirely possible that he does not have any. Hyness leads a host of subjects, the most prominent of which are [[The Three Mage-Sisters]]: [[Francisca]], [[Flamberge]], and [[Zan Partizanne]]. When his hood is removed, he is revealed to have a blue face, blue and yellow striped ears, and eyes that move independently of each other like those of a chameleon's. Aside from the huge nose, Hyness's face (particularly his ears) has an uncanny resemblance to the shape of [[Magolor]]'s head.

!colspan=2|Hyness's Attacks in ''Kirby Star Allies'' &nbsp;

| Hyness tosses a series of black energy orbs out of his sleeves at Kirby, with slight homing properties. These create [[Dropped Star]]s if they hit the ground.

| '''メラーガ・マッデム'''<br>Sizzle Jamblasted

| Hyness causes fiery pillars on both sides to erupt from the floor, leaving stars that grant the [[Fire]] [[Copy Ability|ability]] in their wake. The middle under him is the safe zone.

| '''バリカ・マッデム'''<br>Zap Jamblasted

| Hyness strikes the ground with a powerful lightning bolt, which causes sparks to travel across the floor and leave stars that can be inhaled for the [[Plasma]] ability. Always performed immediately after Sizzle Jamblasted.

| Hyness summons several large icy Jambastion emblems across the arena, which can freeze Kirby and his allies if they get too close when they activate. After activating, stars that give the [[Ice]] ability are left behind afterward.

| Hyness throws each Mage-Sister at Kirby, causing crystals to form where they land. These crystals can be swallowed to gain the Ice, Fire, and Plasma abilities, depending on the type.<br>These crystals can also be destroyed by their respective weaknesses:

| Hyness grabs hold of one of the Mage-Sisters and swings her wildly at Kirby like a club before eventually slamming her down on the ground creating shockwaves and dropping ability-granting stars. Each mage club can be stopped by the respective weakness.

*Difficulty 6 - Fiery Showdown: 9th boss (second to last)

*Difficulty 7 - Infernal Crisis: 11th boss (third to last)

*Difficulty Secret - Soul Melter: 11th boss (third to last)

*Difficulty Extra - Soul Melter EX: 11th boss (as Corrupt Hyness; fourth to last)

*Hyness replenishes his [[health]] bar during the fight by sapping energy from the Mage-Sisters after summoning them to give himself a refill. Since he summons three logs dressed as the Mage-Sisters as Corrupt Hyness, he naturally cannot siphon life from them in that form, so he is not healed and instead changes his behavior after half his health is gone.

*Hyness' model had a yellow, blue, and green recolor in the game's internal files from Version 3.0.0. and earlier, much like those of the playable Friends and Dream Friends. This suggests that Hyness may have originally been planned to be playable during the game's development.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Kirby_Star_Allies ''Kirby Star Allies'' on The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>
