'''Escargoon''' is one of the primary characters and supporting villains of the anime series ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''.

Escargoon has a generally rotten personality, though he is more often sympathetic than Dedede is primarily due to the regular abuse he receives from the king. He often likes to bully his fellow [[Castle Dedede]] residents, though he just as often pleads to them for help when he has a serious problem. | '''Escargoon''' is one of the primary characters and supporting villains of the anime series ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''.
