{{quote|Clawroline tried to cut [[Kirby|your]] adventure short at the Wondaria circus. She normally acts as a point of contact for the Beast Pack's boss, but she couldn't resist the chance to track Kirby down herself. Her grace and speed are quite impressive, so the rest of the pack think of her as an idol. She has lots of fans!|'''Clawroline'''{{'}}s [[figure]] description in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''}}

According to [[Shinya Kumazaki]], her name in both Japanese and English is a mix of "cat", "claw", "line" (representing the limberness of her body lines)<ref name=Nindori>''Nintendo Dream'' vol. 337, page 15</ref> and the name "Caroline", hence her nickname being "Carol". It could also be a pun including the word "feline".

In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', Clawroline is fought in the [[Danger under the Big Top|last stage]] of [[Wondaria Remains]] as its [[boss]], at first under the cover of a cloak. She is later fought again in the [[Gathering of the Beast Council]] stage of [[Redgar Forbidden Lands]], and is also battled in the Meta Knight Cup and The Ultimate Cup in the [[Colosseum]]. After [[Elfilin]] uses the rest of his power to stop [[Popstar]] from crashing into the [[New World]] at the end of the game's main story, Clawroline saves him off-camera, and shows up in [[Waddle Dee Town]]. Here, she notices that all of the [[Beast Pack]] except for Leongar had been accounted for after things had returned to peace, and requests Kirby's assistance. Speaking to her at first will lead Kirby to a small rift that sucks him and Elfilin up into the game's [[Extra Mode]] — [[Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams]], where Clawroline is replaced by a stronger doppelgänger known as [[Phantom Clawroline]] in the [[Forgo Park]] stage.

Clawroline has 1,000 HP in [[Danger under the Big Top]], 600 HP in [[Gathering of the Beast Council]], and 700 HP at the [[Colosseum]]. In Wondaria Remains and the colosseum, she enters the second phase once her HP is less than 40% and takes 0.8X damage during the entire second phase. She also takes 0.2X damage when roaring at the start of the battle and before she roars at the start of 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>

|Clawroline leaps toward Kirby, sometimes with a flip attack, and then falls straight downward with her claws out, creating a shockwave on landing and producing several Drop Stars.

|Clawroline jumps to one of the metal structures surrounding the arena before taking out seven knives and throwing them at Kirby in rapid succession, leaving a Drop Star on impact. She may repeat this move once, twice, or three more times before following up with a "Surprise Event."<br>Inhaling one of her knives will give Kirby the [[Sword]] [[Copy Ability|ability]].

|Clawroline jumps to one of the metal structures surrounding the arena before taking out her claws and diving towards Kirby's current location, leaving six Drop Stars in a hexagonal pattern on impact with the ground.

|Clawroline gets on all fours and vanishes in a puff of smoke. After a drum roll and swiveling lights hint to where she might appear, she reappears and uses a Finish Claw on Kirby, leaving three Drop Stars.
