Burning Leo, originally named Burnin' Leo, is an enemy in the Kirby series. Debuting in Kirby Super Star, he grants Kirby the Fire ability if swallowed.

Appearance

Burning Leo's physical appearance is similar to that of Kirby's. He has a salmon-pink skin, dark eyes (he has blue eyes as of Kirby: Star Allies) dark-colored shoes and a dark-colored headband with many flames coming out of it, resembling hair. The headband also has a circular red gem on the middle. His mouth only appears when he exhales fire. As a Helper, his skin becomes blue and his headband and shoes, green.

In Kirby Super Star Ultra, a green-colored Burning Leo with purple shoes is a playable character in Helper to Hero along with the other helpers.
