The '''Devil Frog''' is the main antagonist of the episode [[Frog Wild]] from ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''. It is a small and petite frog able to cause mayhem.
The '''Demon Frog''' is a small [[monster]] frog that appears in the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' episode [[Frog Wild]]. It possesses [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] and uses him to cause destruction in [[Cappy Town]] and then [[Castle Dedede]] until [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]] takes the Demon Frog for himself and turns into the monster Devil King Dedede. A helpless Kirby is beat upon by him until the previously ordered [[Heavy Anaconda]] arrives. It swallows King Dedede after the Demon Frog loses control over him which results in the Demon Frog's defeat, as it is also swallowed by the Heavy Anaconda in the process.


The Devil Frog slightly resembles a true frog. He is green, and has a yellow belly. However, the Frog has a star-shaped birthmark on top of his head, as well as wings coming from his back.
==Characteristics==
{{Quote|Majesty, that frog is a hoppin' horror show!|[[Escargoon]], in [[Frog Wild]]}}
The Demon Frog is a small green creature with a pale underbody which almost exactly resembles that of a true frog, except for a few extra qualities: its bulbous eyes are orange with light purple outlining, and it sports a purple star mark above its nose. It also bears two bat wings on its back, though it never shows any signs of flight capabilities.  


[[File:Anime Devil Frog and Kirby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Kirby and the Devil Frog seemingly communicate.]]
The Demon Frog is capable of possessing any victim who it attaches itself unto, turning them into a monster by sinking into them. Its small size also allows it to possess whoever it desires unnoticed. In the Japanese version, the [[N.M.E. Sales Guy]] explains that it increases its victim's malice by one million-fold, which results in their monster-like form and behavior.
The Devil Frog first appears near the beginning of the episode, where he swallows a butterfly that [[Kirby/anime|Kirby]] was chasing. They meet up at a pond and have a "chat". Eventually, [[Tiff]] and [[Tuff]] arrive (the Frog disappears) and ask that Kirby heads back home, since he needs to be at dinner and Hana needs help doing her laundry. Kirby then follows, but [[Devil Kirby|suddenly turns traitor]], ruining Hana's laundry while she was drying it and then damaging a huge part of the city. As it turns out, however, the Devil Frog was a monster from [[Night Mare Enterprises]] and brought Kirby's body under his control while Kirby was having his fun near the pond. King Dedede had bought the monster but lost him when the creature jumped on his head. The Devil Frog then possesses [[King Dedede (anime)|King Dedede]] when Kirby is released from his control by [[Tiff]]'s plea when she tells him to stop stomping King Dedede. However, the [[Heavy Anaconda]] arrives, releasing King Dedede from the Devil Frog's control and destroying the frog and swallowing King Dedede.

Characteristics[edit]

“ Majesty, that frog is a hoppin' horror show! ”
— Escargoon, in Frog Wild

The Demon Frog is a small green creature with a pale underbody which almost exactly resembles that of a true frog, except for a few extra qualities: its bulbous eyes are orange with light purple outlining, and it sports a purple star mark above its nose. It also bears two bat wings on its back, though it never shows any signs of flight capabilities.

The Demon Frog is capable of possessing any victim who it attaches itself unto, turning them into a monster by sinking into them. Its small size also allows it to possess whoever it desires unnoticed. In the Japanese version, the N.M.E. Sales Guy explains that it increases its victim's malice by one million-fold, which results in their monster-like form and behavior.

Devil Kirby[edit]

Devil Kirby
“ If the Demon Frog really is inside Kirby, then there's no way he can be held responsible for attacking Cappy Town, because it was really the Demon Frog forcing him to do it. ”
— N.M.E. Sales Guy, in Frog Wild

Once the Demon Frog secretly possesses Kirby, he is transformed into the monstrous Devil Kirby[Japanese title]. His eyes glow red and curve upwards, and his mouth extends across his face in an evil smile. He gives out an evil laugh upon occasion, and he also later on gains two bat wings on his back which resemble those of the Demon Frog's.

Unlike Devil King Dedede, Devil Kirby does not look significantly different from his usual self until he gains his evil face and wings, and is defined by his desire to cause mayhem and destruction. He shows no regret destroying most of Cappy Town, and has no struggle at all dealing with the Waddle Dees of Castle Dedede. Due to Kirby's kind and heroic nature, the Demon Frog is unable to fully integrate itself into him, which allows Tiff to break the frog's hold on Kirby by calling out to him.

Devil King Dedede[edit]

Devil King Dedede
“ You puny peewees better be scared, 'cuz I'm the baddest dude on the whole planet! ”
— Devil King Dedede, in Frog Wild

After King Dedede reclaims the Demon Frog, he uses it on himself to become the monster Devil King Dedede[Japanese title], and becomes an enlarged brawny version of his original self. His eyes glow red and curve, just as Devil Kirby's, and he gains six large sharp teeth. He bears two bat wing marks on his chest, and he wears his now torn robes around his large arms.

Devil King Dedede is very large and burly, which allows him to shake and crack the ground with a single stomp. Along with himself, his mallet also grows in size, however, he is never able to cause damage with it. Once the Heavy Anaconda arrives, the Demon Frog is given a fright and King Dedede is shrunk back to his original self.

Role in Frog Wild[edit]

Main article: Frog Wild
“ If that frog's around, I bet it's causing Kirby's naughty behavior. ”
— N.M.E. Sales Guy, in Frog Wild
Kirby meets with the Demon Frog moments before it possesses him.

Months prior to the events of the episode, the Demon Frog is ordered by King Dedede from Night Mare Enterprises. However, it quickly escapes Castle Dedede and is later forgotten by King Dedede and Escargoon completely. During the events of the episode, the Demon Frog secretly takes possession of Kirby and uses him to wreak havoc on Cappy Town and afterwards Castle Dedede. While there, the Demon Frog is recaptured by King Dedede who purposely allows it to take possession of him and turn himself into Devil King Dedede. Once transformed, he bashes upon a now helpless and clueless Kirby, and prepares to smash him with his mallet. However, King Dedede's previously ordered monster, Heavy Anaconda appears on the scene and swallows both King Dedede and the Demon Frog after it loses control over him. While King Dedede is eventually rescued from the anaconda's belly, the Demon Frog is presumably defeated when it is swallowed, as it is not seen again.

Trivia[edit]

  • In most foreign dubs, the Demon Frog croaks like a normal frog. However, in the original Japanese version, it is given a voice actor and sounds much higher pitched.
  • Devil King Dedede is very similar in appearance to King Dedede's "swole" form in Kirby Star Allies.
