|Kirby serves as the main protagonist of this game, when he is sucked through the vortex into the [[New World]] and subsequently gets involved saving Elfilin and the Waddle Dees from the Beast Pack's cages using his new [[Mouthful Mode]] ability along with his usual powers. In the process of doing this, Kirby eventually encounters and defeats the main villain of the story, saving both Popstar and the New World from destruction as well as making peace with the Beast Pack.

Midway through the story, Elfilin is kidnapped by King Dedede and taken to Lab Discovera, where it is revealed that he is half of the "ultimate life-form" [[Fecto Elfilis]]. When the two halves merge again, Kirby has to battle this creature to free Elfilin from them, and then obliterate the evil half with Elfilin's help.

|{{center|[[File:KatFL Fecto Forgo larval form screenshot.png|125px]]<br>'''[[Fecto Forgo|Specimen "ID-F86"]]'''}}
|A fractured cosmic life-form which was captured and kept as a test subject by the New World civilization after it had attempted to invade their world. Using its superb psychic power, it took control of Leongar and King Dedede and used them to try and gather labor and power to itself, as well as capture and recover its missing half: Elfilin. Near the end of the game, it succeeds at this task after a few setbacks, becoming its whole self again, but is shortly thereafter bested by Kirby and Elfilin freed. Later, Kirby and Elfilin venture into Forgo Dreams to prevent the soul of ID-F86 from possessing Leon's body, and the creature is absorbed into [[Morpho Knight]], who is later defeated.

ID-F86 goes by many other names, including '''Fecto Forgo''' (for its larval state and its amalgam form), '''[[Fecto Elfilis]]''' (for its whole state after subsuming Elfilin), and '''Soul Forgo''' (for its spectral form in Forgo Dreams).
