Burning Leo

- This article is about the standard enemy with the fiery headdress, and should not be confused with Fire Lion.
Burning Leo, originally named Burnin' Leo, is an enemy in the Kirby series, who debuts in [[Template:KSS KFP]]. He grants Kirby the Fire ability if swallowed.
Appearance
Burning Leo's physical appearance is similar to that of Kirby's. He has salmon-pink skin, dark eyes (he has blue eyes as of Kirby Star Allies) dark-colored shoes and a dark-colored headband with many flames coming out of it, resembling hair. The headband also has a circular red gem on the middle. His mouth only appears when he exhales fire.
As a Helper in [[Template:KSS KFP]] and Kirby Super Star Ultra, his skin becomes blue and his headband and shoes, green. In Kirby Star Allies, Burning Leo can appear in four different colTemplate:Ors (normal, yellow, blue, green) depending on which player slot he is occupying.
In Kirby Super Star Ultra, a green-colored Burning Leo with purple shoes is a playable character in Helper to Hero along with the other helpers.
Game Appearances
Template:KSS KFP / Kirby Super Star Ultra
Burning Leos are regular enemies in [[Template:KSS KFP]] and Kirby Super Star Ultra. They can be found in stages walking back and forth, and attack in a similar manner to Hot Heads by attempting to shoot fireballs or breathing fire cones at Kirby if he gets close. Burning Leo also serves as the helper for the Fire Ability, gaining access to Fire Kirby's move-set, and also gaining access to the Infinity Jump. Unlike Fire Kirby, Burning Leo as a helper can breathe fire underwater, which is needed for a particular Cannon puzzle in the Old Tower region of The Great Cave Offensive.

Trivia
- Burning Leo is one of the few friends in Kirby Star Allies that doesn't wear a Kirby-styled hat. This is because Burning Leo's mane is already essentially the same as Kirby's Fire hat. He does, however, gain the Fire hat's spiraling golden headband and blue gem.
