The fellow behind you goes by the name Storo. He's always been a big guy, but don't worry. He's really a pussycat. So to speak.
— Daroach in Kirby Mass Attack

Storo is a member of the Squeaks alongside Daroach, Spinni and Doc, acting as the muscle of them. He first appeared in [[Kirby: Squeak Squad|Template:KSqS KMoA]].

Physical Appearance

Storo is a blue, burly bipedal mouse. He wears a red bandana, a black eyepatch and a red sleeveless shirt with the belly out. He has a round, black snout and a single visible tooth in his mouth. Despite having no visible eyes, Storo still cries when being beaten in the sub-game Speedy Teatime.

Personality

My friend Storo behind you might seem like a brute. But would a brute brush his teeth until they're all minty fresh? So, best not judge a book by its cover.
— Daroach in Kirby Mass Attack

In the sub-game Speedy Teatime from Kirby: Squeak Squad, Storo was shown to be gluttonous, evidenced by the fact he smiles when eating more than Kirby (and consequently winning), and cries when loosing. In Kirby Mass Attack, Daroach says that Storo may look like a brute but is instead "a pussycat".

Game Appearances

Kirby: Squeak Squad

In [[Kirby: Squeak Squad|Template:KSqS KMoA]], Storo sometimes appears when Kirby obtains a large chest. As such, his main goal is to steal Kirby's chest and take it to his headquarters. Kirby can either run away with the chest, defeat Storo, or if Storo already obtained the chest, quickly go to the headquarters to defeat him. His method of attacking is either bumping into Kirby or hitting him with a hammer. After he is halfway defeated, he turns red. At some point in the battle, Storo falls unconscious. At that moment, Kirby can repetitively attack him to obtain food (or possibly even Invincibility Candy). If Kirby attacks Storo while he has his hammer out, he may drop it, allowing Kirby to inhale it for the Hammer ability. He also appears in Speedy Teatime as the main opponent.

Kirby Mass Attack

Storo reappears in Kirby Mass Attack, boarding Daroach's Airship after Green Grounds is cleared. He is mentioned in some of Daroach's dialogue but can't be directly interacted with.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe

In Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Storo appears as a keychain using his sprite from Kirby: Squeak Squad.

Kirby: Planet Robobot

In Kirby: Planet Robobot, Storo appears as a sticker for the Robobot Armor using his artwork from Kirby: Squeak Squad.

Kirby Star Allies

In Kirby Star Allies, Daroach can call upon Storo using the Summon Storo move. When he appears, he leaps into the air, then slams straight downward three times in succession before disappearing. His slams can do a large amount of damage, and can also pound posts.

Trivia

  • In Kirby Mass Attack, Daroach reveals that Storo brushes his teeth until they are all minty fresh.
  • In the main menu for Kirby Star Allies, one of the character interactions has Storo flattening Kirby as they pass. This is a reference to the intro for [[Kirby: Squeak Squad|Template:KSqS KMoA]], where the same thing happens.
  • Despite having an eyepatch, Storo's other eye is never visible either.
