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

'''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.


== Attacks ==
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]].
Being a relative of Whispy Woods, Tropic Woods is a largely stationary boss (being only able to swivel his face towards his target), and as such, his attacks mainly consist of throwing out projectiles and reaching through the ground with his roots. Fitting for a tree, Tropic Woods is weak to [[Fire]]-based attacks: if Kirby hits him with enough fire damage, lingering flames appear on his face that deal repeated small chips of damage to the boss for a while.


The following is currently known about Tropic Woods' attack patterns (attack names are conjectural). Attacks in ''italics'' are only used in Phase 2.
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 0.8× damage during the entire second phase. It also takes 0.2× 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'').
