'''Gorimondo''', titled '''Strong-Armed Beast''', is a large [[boss]] who appears in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', being fought in the [[Natural Plains]] stage, [[The Brawl at the Mall]]. He is a giant gorilla-like entity with black fur and skin, with red accent marks on his face and arms, and white fur stripes on his head, with the one on top formed into a mohawk and another smaller one formed into a tiny beard under his chin. Gorimondo is one of the first bosses that Kirby faces in the game, and he keeps a gold cage containing three trapped [[Waddle Dee]]s as a necklace. Defeating Gorimondo allows Kirby to free these Waddle Dees and complete the stage.
'''Gorimondo''', titled '''Strong-Armed Beast''', is a large [[boss]] who appears in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', being primarily fought in the [[Natural Plains]] stage, [[The Brawl at the Mall]]. He is a giant gorilla-like entity with black fur and skin, with red accent marks on his face and arms, and white fur stripes on his head, with the one on top formed into a mohawk and another smaller one formed into a tiny beard under his chin. Gorimondo is part of the executive council of the [[Beast Pack]], and is by far the largest member of the pack, being larger even than the leader [[Leongar]]. Gorimondo is the first boss that Kirby faces in the game, and he keeps a gold cage containing three trapped [[Waddle Dee]]s as a necklace. In other appearances however, he wears an anchor around his neck instead.


His name is a mix of 'gorilla' and 'mondo', the latter word being slang for huge (originating from Italian meaning "world").
In addition to his appearance in The Brawl at the Mall, Gorimondo is also fought in the stage [[Gathering of the Beast Council]] in [[Redgar Forbidden Lands]] and is fought in the Meta Knight Cup and Ultimate Cup in the [[Colosseum]]. A stronger variant of him exists in [[Extra Mode]] called [[Phantom Gorimondo]].

==Trivia==
*Gorimondo is weak against [[Ice]] and its variants. If hit enough times with Ice attacks, he will gradually slow down until being frozen entirely. He will break out after a few seconds, but will take heavy damage upon doing so.
*Gorimondo's name is a portmanteau of 'gorilla' and 'mondo', the latter word being slang for huge (originating from Italian meaning "world").
**If Kirby discards the Ice ability while Gorimondo is frozen, he will immediately unfreeze without taking the extra damage.
*Many of Gorimondo's sound effects during his battle are reused from that of [[Goriath]]'s in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''.

*Gorimondo has the general fur color and lower body shape of a gorilla, but the cheek pads and long arms of an orangutan, thus being an amalgamation of many different great apes.
