'''The Claykken''' (or just '''Claykken''') is a [[Boss]] from ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'', appearing at the end of [[Indigo Ocean]] and [[Red Volcano]]. His name is a clay-spin on 'The Kraken', and as such, resembles a giant squid.
{{Quote|You don't want to get all up in the Claykken's ink, or he'll come after you--and I'm not squiddin'! He may be a baddie, but he only uses his pipe for the most innocent of purposes: he likes to blow sea-foam bubbles.|[[Figurine]] description from ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse|{{KatRC KatRP}}]]''}}

The Claykken spends most of his time in the background, first trying to attack by sending his arms in through a hole to reach Kirby and try to swipe at him. The tips of the arms are covered in spikes, but the rest of the arm is vulnerable, and can be dashed into.
{{Quote|The Claykken lost his underwater battle with Kirby, so he upped his game by becoming lava proof. But then Kirby beat him again, so he's probably thinking maybe he's just not cut out to be a boss.|Second [[Figurine]] description from ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse|{{KatRC KatRP}}]]''}}
The Claykken spends most of his time in the background, first trying to attack by sending his arms in through a hole to reach Kirby and try to swipe at him. The tips of the arms are covered in spikes, but the rest of the arm is vulnerable, and can be dashed into. When one tentacle is out, it takes two [[Touch Dash]]es to defeat, and drops three medium [[Point Star]]s. When both tentacles are out, 5 hits total are needed.


Once the Claykken has taken enough damage to his arms, he will opt to charge in full-body. He spins about like a missile, and will attempt to crash into Kirby. His head is impervious, but his rear is vulnerable, so Kirby has a chance to hit him after the Claykken has jammed his head into the wall.
Once the Claykken has taken enough damage to his arms, he will opt to charge in full-body. He spins about like a missile, and will attempt to crash into Kirby. His head is impervious, but his rear is vulnerable once he has crashed into the wall after his second charge, so Kirby has a chance to hit him at this point. A [[Star Dash]] here is particularly effective.


The Claykken is fought twice—with the second fight taking place outside of the water, and over a crumbling bridge with lava beneath. The environmental change alone is enough to change the dynamic of the fight without the Claykken needing any new attacks.
