Goriath's body is somewhat pear-shaped, his face taking up most of it. This makes his physique similar to a [[Waddle Dee]], though his feet and arms are more defined. His fur covers his body, which is largely white in tone, though it has red, spiky accents near the hands. His skin is tan, and his face resembles that of an ape, with baboon-like red marks on his cheeks. He also sports a long beard and a similarly long tuft of hair on his head, which is gray in color.
Goriath's body is somewhat pear-shaped, his face taking up most of it. This makes his physique similar to a [[Waddle Dee]], though his feet and arms are more defined. His fur covers his body, which is largely white in tone (much like the [[wikipedia:Japanese macaque|Japanese snow monkey]]), though it has red, spiky accents near the hands. His skin is tan, and his face resembles that of an ape, with baboon-like red marks on his cheeks. He also sports a long beard and a similarly long tuft of hair on his head, which is gray in color.


When Goriath is knocked down to half health, he charges up and his beard and hair tuft turn golden. He also begins to glow and his eyes turn red.

In [[Extra Mode]], Goriath's skin is dark gray, his eyes are white, his face marks are of several colors (ranging from blue to lavender), his hair tuft and beard have a blue tint at first, and his wrist hair is brown. These changes make him resemble a mandrill more than a baboon.

Goriath has a unique feature to his boss fight, in that, as the fight progresses, he will pound the stage with his fists to make it crumble, causing everyone to fall to a lower stage with a different layout. This is done up to four times before the fight is over.

The following lists all of Goriath's attacks in the Main Mode of ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' and ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''.

Exclusively in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', after Goriath is defeated in Story Mode, he will appear in [[Merry Magoland]] the next time Kirby visits it, hanging off the side of the main castle toward the left, and chatting with some nearby [[Waddle Dee]]s. Two [[Dress-Up Mask]]s based on Goriath's regular and EX forms can be worn, provided the player has defeated him in both Story Mode and [[Extra Mode]], respectively.
