Kirby's Return to Dream Land

In the story of Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Magolor commands Kirby to go and defeat Landia, as Landia attacked the Lor Starcutter, Magolor's ship, as Magolor arrived at Halcandra, along with Kirby. Landia in the extra mode are changed into purple and looks like the later version of Spyro the Dragon (including new abilities are added). Upon Landia's defeat by Kirby, it is revealed that Magolor and Landia had a past conflict, which ended with Magolor fleeing to Planet Popstar, and only enlisted Kirby's help in repairing the Lor Starcutter to defeat Landia and help him obtain the Master Crown, which would give him the power to rule the universe. Landia, now consisting of four small dragons, then assists Kirby and accompanying friends, in chasing Magolor and the Lor Starcutter when Magolor enters Another Dimension to go and conquer Planet Popstar. Once Magolor and his mutation Magolor Soul are defeated, Landia, along with the now friendly Lor Starcutter, assists Kirby in returning to Dream Land.

Kirby: Planet Robobot

Landia appears as the penultimate and final boss of the Sub-Game Team Kirby Clash. He is described as a guardian angel, and has two distinct forms. The first fights more-or-less like Landia in Return to Dream Land. The second is a more souped-up version that is much more powerful. Once Landia is defeated in his second form, the Sub-Game is complete.

Landia reprises his role in this expanded spinoff title--his attacks and role in the story undiminished from before. He has been made much tougher in both his iterations, in order to provide more of a challenge for Team Kirby.

Landia EX serves as the fifth Ordeal, and defeating him completes the main game, queuing the credits. Unlike the original Sub-Game, however, Landia EX is not the ultimate final boss.
