Beast Pack: Difference between revisions

The '''Beast Pack''' is an organization of animals and other characters from both [[Popstar]] and the [[New World]] which serves as the main antagonistic force in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. It was formed by [[Leongar|Leon]] after [[Fecto Forgo]] possessed him as a way to find [[Elfilin|its lost half]] and merge with it to [[Fecto Elfilis|become whole]]. As explained by Leongar in [[Lab Discovera]], the main objective of the Beast Pack was to gather energy and resources for the "Great One" so that it could allow them to transcend their world; doing so in a similar manner to the New World civilization which left all of its infrastructure behind after attaining "planetary warp" technology and leaving to a "land of dreams". Before long, however, it is revealed that this was a trick perpetrated by Fecto Forgo towards its own ends, and it attempts to absorb the Beast Pack into itself instead. After Fecto Forgo is defeated and Leon is recovered, the Beast Pack become friendly toward [[Kirby]] and the [[Waddle Dee]]s who they had previously antagonized.

After a "warp-experiment incident" occurred, which had split specimen [[Fecto Elfilis|ID-F86]] into two halves, the [[List of rumors of ancient civilizations in the Kirby series|inhabitants]] of the [[New World]] later left using the spatial technology acquired from ID-F86. Over time, the native wildlife gained sapience comparable to the previous inhabitants, including [[Leongar|Leon]] and [[Clawroline|Carol]].

One day, Leon stumbles upon one part of ID-F86, [[Fecto Forgo]], in the remains of [[Lab Discovera]], and becomes possessed by its strong telepathic waves to serve as its medium. Leon changes his name to "Leongar" and forms the Beast Pack, and Carol, who is confused but faithful to her fellow beast, follows suit and takes on the name "Clawroline". As the two most influential members of the Beast Pack, the other animal inhabitants of the New World quickly follow their orders: to find Fecto Forgo's other half, [[Elfilin]], so they can become one again.

Fecto Forgo, as part of its plan to obtain even more labor beyond the Beast Pack, opens a vortex above [[Popstar]] which transports the inhabitants of [[Dream Land]] and its surrounding areas to the New World. Once there, the Beast Pack begins to subdue the weaker residents of Dream Land (namely, the [[Waddle Dee]]s), and recruit more powerful residents into the pack (either willingly — as with [[Bonkers]], [[Gigant Edge]], and [[Mr. Frosty]] — or unwillingly, as with [[King Dedede]]). Their attempt to recruit [[Meta Knight]] into the pack fails due to his stronger force of will.

|A giant gorilla whose main job is to gather food and capture Waddle Dees. Unfortunately, he tends to eat the food he gathers, much to the frustration of his boss. He apparently tried to besiege Waddle Dee Town thirty different times while Kirby was out adventuring, but was repelled every single time by [[Meta Knight]].

Excepting [[Fleurina]], the Mid-Bosses of the Beast Pack are creatures from [[Popstar]] who came to the New World and were quickly recruited in, gaining a makeover in the process. [[Wild Edge]] is the only member who does not appear to intrinsically fit in with the other more animalistic members, though their "wild" makeover does help to cover that difference.

|When King Dedede is taken to the New World via dimensional vortex, he is quickly possessed by Fecto Forgo and given a wild makeover in a similar fashion to the Mid-Bosses. He has to battle Kirby twice (the second time as [[Forgo Dedede]]) and is also the one who manages to successfully kidnap [[Elfilin]] and bring him to [[Lab Discovera]]. After his second defeat, he is released from Fecto Forgo's influence.
