In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Clawroline is fought in the 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. She turns over to Kirby's side once the main story is completed, and shows up in Waddle Dee Town.

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.

According to several figure descriptions, Clawroline was closely partnered with Leongar before the Beast Pack was formed, as the two were the renowned leaders over the animal kingdom. Leon came across a long forgotten specimen known as "ID-F86" and set his sights on the power offered by it. This resulted in the forming of the Beast Pack, and caused Leon to grow distant as he began speaking in a new language that Clawroline was unable to understand. She shifted her identity per what was preferred in the pack, and joined in the scheme to stick by Leon no matter what, in the hopes that he would change back to normal one day.
