A boss that Kirby must fight in his game series.
Heavy Lobster is a giant, mechanical crustacean that protects the battleship Halberd. It is called upon to attack Kirby during Revenge of Meta Knight and later serves as the final boss on Mecheye during Milky Way Wishes.
Appearance
Heavy lobster appears as a brass colored, robotic lobster. Its long body stands on two wide legs. It has two large pincers at its front. It has a rear thruster and two small wings on its back.
Games
Kirby Super Star
Heavy Lobster first appears in Revenge of Meta Knight after destroying the left wing of the Halberd. As Kirby progresses to the right wing, immediately after leaving the armory, Heavy Lobster chases him through and destroys everything in its path. At this point, it cannot be fought until the screen stops scrolling.
In Milky Way Wishes, it is simply the guardian of the star held on Mecheye. The same tactics and behavior are observed, just less the chase scene through the Halberd.

When fighting Heavy Lobster, it has a set reserve of tactics it uses against Kirby. It will trot forward slowly and jet across the screen or jump and turn around between attacks. Its arsenal includes launching a stream of fire from its claw, deploying a miniature version of itself, or releasing a Paint Slime, a red, jiggling blob.
This and the tiny lobster can both be inhaled by Kirby and fired back at Heavy Lobster. However, the Paint Slime, if swallowed, grants an ability, Paint. When hit by the attack, Heavy Lobster changes to a red color and can no longer see to attack Kirby. Blinded, it walks and acts aimlessly and loses much of its threat.
