Professor Curio (also referred to as Mr. Curio or just Curio) is an elderly Cappy and resident of Cappy Town who serves as the town's archaeologist, paleontologist, and historian. He has a deep love and passion for his work, and is arguably the most academically accredited individual in Dream Land, but due to the general lack of interest from the other Cappies in his pursuits, he is left in a poor financial state to look after his fragile relics in a cluttered "shop" which doubles as his own home. Curio is a frequently-recurring character in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, though his appearances are usually incidental, with his only two major roles being in Curio's Curious Discovery and Mumbies Madness.

Characteristics and Role[edit]

Professor Curio is a medium-height and medium-girth Cappy whose most distinguishable features are his dark olive overcoat, red bowtie, and bushy gray facial hair which covers his mouth. He also possesses a ring of short spiky hair around the top of his head - highlighting his bald scalp - and thick eyebrows. Aside from these features, Professor Curio is also often seen carrying various implements or wearing additional articles of clothing as is appropriate for whatever role he is filling.

Professor Curio is one of the town's elder citizens, but unlike Mayor Len Blustergas and Chief Bookem, he is unmarried, and not particularly sociable. Due to this, along with his choice of occupation and study precluding a largely solitary lifestyle, Curio is socially awkward and tends to speak in an encyclopedic manner when not stammering from discomfort. Despite this insecurity, Curio usually has little issue socializing with other villagers, and throughout the show, he develops a tutor and pupil relationship with Tiff, who looks to him as a role model and also helps him when he is in trouble.

Professor Curio runs an antique collection on the outer edge of Cappy Town which he insists is not a museum, though it is still open for individual visitors to come in and have a look. One of the regular running gags of the show involves the relics in the shop getting ruined by some unfortunate calamity or other happenstance, though things will always be back in order in time for the next episode. Due to the general lack of interest in his work by the other villagers, Curio is relatively poor, relying solely on his academic work to scrape together a meager income. This state of affairs leads him to be tempted by King Dedede to forge archaeological discoveries that exonerate Dedede in exchange for a bribe in Curio's Curious Discovery, though Curio later reneges on this deal for the sake of his personal honor. In Mumbies Madness, Professor Curio is tricked by King Dedede into releasing and harboring the monster Mumbies, though Curio later comes to his senses and tries to seal the monster away in a macabre-looking ritual, which leads to a misunderstanding between him and Tiff and Tuff, who accidentally stop him and allow Mumbies to escape again, where it is eventually destroyed by Kirby.

-'''Professor Curio''' is a [[Cappy (anime)|Cappy]] from [[Cappy Town]] who appears in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''. He is also known as '''Mr. Curio''' or just '''Curio'''. He first appeared in [[A Blockbuster Battle]], but did not have a starring role until Episode 8: [[Curio's Curious Discovery]].
+'''Professor Curio''' (also referred to as '''Mr. Curio''' or just '''Curio''') is an elderly [[Cappy (anime)|Cappy]] and resident of [[Cappy Town]] who serves as the town's archaeologist, paleontologist, and historian. He has a deep love and passion for his work, and is arguably the most academically accredited individual in [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]], but due to the general lack of interest from the other Cappies in his pursuits, he is left in a poor financial state to look after his fragile relics in a cluttered "shop" which doubles as his own home. Curio is a frequently-recurring character in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', though his appearances are usually incidental, with his only two major roles being in [[Curio's Curious Discovery]] and [[Mumbies Madness]].
-==Personality==
+==Characteristics and Role==
-Professor Curio is a well respected and elderly gentlemen who lives in Cappy Town. Curio runs an antique shop/museum where he displays his artifacts of ancient Dream Land and a long lost Cappy civilization. Besides collecting ancient artifacts, Curio also finds solace by learning about the past in his free time as well. His museum and its artifacts are often destroyed by various events within the episodes, so he often has to spend hours sprucing it up. He enjoys working to piece together the past, however hard it may be.
+Professor Curio is a medium-height and medium-girth Cappy whose most distinguishable features are his dark olive overcoat, red bowtie, and bushy gray facial hair which covers his mouth. He also possesses a ring of short spiky hair around the top of his head - highlighting his bald scalp - and thick eyebrows. Aside from these features, Professor Curio is also often seen carrying various implements or wearing additional articles of clothing as is appropriate for whatever role he is filling.
-Despite his passion for his work, Curio is not very skilled in social interactions, and often stumbles and stammers when he speaks. He is also easily taken advantage of, as evidenced in Episode 8 when King Dedede and Escargoon pressure him to forge archaeological findings to boost the King's royal legitimacy. He is somewhat reserved and cowardly most of the time, but finds bravery when King Dedede pushes him too far in Episode 8, going so far as to even run up to the giant monster [[Dedede Stone]] and attack it with a pickaxe.
+Professor Curio is one of the town's elder citizens, but unlike [[Mayor Len Blustergas]] and [[Chief Bookem]], he is unmarried, and not particularly sociable. Due to this, along with his choice of occupation and study precluding a largely solitary lifestyle, Curio is socially awkward and tends to speak in an encyclopedic manner when not stammering from discomfort. Despite this insecurity, Curio usually has little issue socializing with other villagers, and throughout the show, he develops a tutor and pupil relationship with [[Tiff]], who looks to him as a role model and also helps him when he is in trouble.
-==Physical Appearance==
+Professor Curio runs an antique collection on the outer edge of Cappy Town which he insists is not a museum, though it is still open for individual visitors to come in and have a look. One of the regular running gags of the show involves the relics in the shop getting ruined by some unfortunate calamity or other happenstance, though things will always be back in order in time for the next episode. Due to the general lack of interest in his work by the other villagers, Curio is relatively poor, relying solely on his academic work to scrape together a meager income. This state of affairs leads him to be tempted by [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]] to forge archaeological discoveries that exonerate Dedede in exchange for a bribe in [[Curio's Curious Discovery]], though Curio later reneges on this deal for the sake of his personal honor. In [[Mumbies Madness]], Professor Curio is tricked by King Dedede into releasing and harboring the [[monster]] [[Mumbies]], though Curio later comes to his senses and tries to seal the monster away in a macabre-looking ritual, which leads to a misunderstanding between him and Tiff and [[Tuff]], who accidentally stop him and allow Mumbies to escape again, where it is eventually destroyed by [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]].
-Curio is a [[Cappy (anime)|Cappy]] who wears a brown coat with a red bowtie. Since he is elderly, he has grey hair, grey eyebrows, and a grey moustache and beard. His mouth is hidden under his facial hair. His gear includes a satchel which he stores artifacts in.
