|description=Clip of the music that plays during the battle with Dark Nebula.
'''Dark Nebula''' is the lord of the underworld and the final boss in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]''. It was concealed in a treasure chest that [[Kirby]] receives after beating [[Daroach]]. However, this treasure chest was stolen by [[Meta Knight]] to make sure Dark Nebula would not be released. However, Kirby, believing that the treasure chest contains the cake he was about to eat in the beginning of the game, beats Meta Knight and the treasure chest is then stolen by the Squeaks. As a consequence of this, Dark Nebula is released from its prison, consuming Daroach. After Kirby defeats Daroach a second time, Dark Nebula exits Daroach's body as a small dark star bearing its normal form's color which Kirby follows and then faces it, where it enlarges and gains an eye. After Kirby beats it, the stars that make up Dark Nebula fall out of it, leaving only its eye, which then explodes. Having defeated Dark Nebula, Kirby returns home.

Dark Nebula has, to this point, only appeared once in the series as a proper entity. It has been given some representation in subsequent titles in the form of illustrations, references, and other memorabilia, however.

==Connection to Dark Matter==
==Connection to Dark Matter==
It is widely believed by fans of the ''Kirby'' series that Dark Nebula is another form of [[Dark Matter]], similar to [[Zero]]. While no specific line of text in English localizations connects Dark Nebula to Dark Matter in this way, its Japanese, Chinese and Korean name of '''Dark Zero''' implies a relation, in addition to its title in Japanese of "ruler of darkness" (暗黒の支配者) instead of the English one "ruler of the underworld", as well as its ability to possess other characters and its appearance. Such similarities are noted in a snippet from the Japanese ''[[20th Anniversary Kirby Pupupu Encyclopedia]]'', page 21, lumping Dark Nebula in with Dark Matter-based characters, however it says that the relationship between Dark Nebula and Dark Matter is not clear. As such, there is no definitive proof of said relationship.
