'''Halcandra''' is a world featured in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' where [[Magolor]] and [[Landia]] both reside. Halcandra was once home to a powerful race of beings, the departed [[List of rumors of ancient civilizations in the Kirby series|ancients]], who apparently constructed many of the artifacts seen throughout the ''Kirby'' series. In the past, they tasked Landia to guard the [[Lor Starcutter]] and the [[Master Crown]] in the deepest depths of the Haldera Volcano. Magolor claims that Halcandra is also his home, but later reveals that this was a lie, and he instead visited the planet due to being interested in its technology and relics.

When Kirby and co. visit it, the world can be described as in poor condition and appears to consist of primarily [[Dangerous Dinner|volcanic-type land]], though a [[Egg Engines|large mechanical scrapyard]] can also be found there. It lies in a dimension separate from [[Popstar]], but this is hardly an issue for the Lor, which can soar between the two planets in the blink of an eye. Its position relative to any other worlds in the ''Kirby'' series is unknown, other than that its physical distance from Popstar is so far that it requires crossing through other dimensions to reach.

The name ''Hal''candra is one of many references to the name of the ''Kirby'' series developers, [[HAL Laboratory]]. It may also be a reference to the naming scheme of planets in [[wikipedia:C.S. Lewis|C.S. Lewis]]'s [[wikipedia:The Space Trilogy|Space Trilogy]] novels, such as "Malacandra" (Mars). Additionally, the Japanese name — ハルカンドラ, ''Harukandora'' — is likely a pun on the Japanese word for "distant": 遥か, ''haruka''.

The world of Halcandra consists of two primary areas. They are [[Egg Engines]], a mostly abandoned industrial park with many robotic entities and hazards, and [[Dangerous Dinner]], the hottest and most treacherous volcanic area on the planet. The most prominent landmark of Halcandra is Haldera Volcano, a large active volcano where Landia stands guard. Pools of water do exist on Halcandra, as do reservoirs and waterways, but they only appear to exist underground.
