Magolor [MICRO]

{{char}} is a small, ellipsoid being who possesses disembodied hands, but no feet. He wears a blue hood with yellow and white accents. The rim of the hood, as well as the pattern on his body, resembles the design of a gear, which matches the motif of the Energy Spheres for the Lor Starcutter. His face consists merely of two yellow eyes on a brown surface, the rest presumably being covered up by his scarf-like belt. The belt itself seems to wrap around his entire body, covering some of his face, and has a small yellow-fringed cape that extends around most of the circumference.

{{char}} also has a notable number of alternate outfits. As Shopkeeper {{char}}, {{char}}'s cloak bears a simpler woven look, eschewing the gear fringes and yellow accents, and takes on a primarily green and white hue. As Manager {{char}}, he wears his usual colors, but with a large top hat and bow tie, and his cape is modified to look more like a tailed coat. Lastly, in {{char}} Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler, he wears a monochrome version of his usual outfit, with a knotted belt and a tattered cape, as well as a tear in his cloak revealing one of his ears.

{{char}} is able to float freely in the air. There does not appear to be a limit to how high {{char}} can float off the ground, but he still prefers to hover only a few inches above it at most times. This ability is directly tied to his magical power; when he loses his powers in {{char}} Epilogue, he is only able to jump and glide a paltry distance. Atop his head, he has two pointy ears which resemble those of a cat to a degree — his {{char}} Epilogue appearance indicates that these ears are part of his body and not just his cloak. On the official Japanese Kirby Twitter account, one illustration featuring feline characters implies {{char}} is also catlike with his pointed ears.

When {{char}} first arrives on Popstar, he appears to be friendly and cordial, and easily convinces Kirby and friends to help him in his plight to recover his ship's Energy Spheres. As revealed later in the story, this act was a charade; he is cleverly able to feign grief and joy in order to get people to do what he wants. Combined with his tendency to outright lie, this allowed him to take advantage of Kirby's hospitality, leading him to the Master Crown.

Initially, it appears that {{char}}'s only goal is to rule the entire universe with the power of the Master Crown, but dialogue prior to his reveal makes it ambiguous as to whether he genuinely appreciated Kirby or only saw him as a pawn for his goals (in particular, he sincerely thanks Kirby for helping him repair the Lor while explaining his plan). Extra dialogue added in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe has {{char}} share with Kirby his dream of building an amusement park, which seems to be a genuine desire, as he has built multiple such parks after his redemption.

Regardless of intent, {{char}}'s desires become twisted over time, thanks to the parasitic power of the Master Crown. The pause screen description for {{char}} Soul in Extra Mode indicates that he eventually loses control of his actions and becomes "A sad shell possessed by the limitless power of the Master Crown, no more than a manifestation of the crown itself". Additional context provided in the True Arena of Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe indicates that the Master Crown has been devouring {{char}}'s soul, and that he is aware of this process, begging Kirby to help him.

After being freed from the crown's grasp by Kirby and his friends, and then battling his way through other dimensions and destroying the Master Crown, {{char}} has atoned for his misdeeds. To make up for the trouble he caused, he builds an amusement park filled with new challenge courses in New Challenge Stages. In the same Sub-Game, he seems to have a friendly rivalry with Kirby, as seen during the races with him; the two of them part ways on amicable terms in the credits sequence.

{{char}} is often melodramatic, and even when he is trying to act evil and intimidating (as seen after his Master Crown-induced transformation), he usually can't get the emotion right. He also appears to have an ego about him and is obsessed with challenges, particularly races. He often gloats when he is in the lead, which usually leads to him slowing down and getting passed up, to which he will then get angry and speed up. If he wins a race, he revels in his victory, but if he loses, he sulks. He is shown to enjoy pranks and practical jokes; during one segment of "C-R-O-W-N-E-D: Reprise" in Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe, he covers the screen with a blindfold banner and laughs if King Dedede falls into a pit, and in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash, he pretends to betray Team Kirby upon purchasing all of his equipment (though he clarifies that he's only joking). Overall, he can be seen as a reformed villain with hints of trickery still buried within him.

{{char}} appears to be a skilled technician and wizard, as he claims that upon initially excavating the Lor from Halcandra, it was in bad shape and he had to repair it. He has several magical skills (such as teleporting and summoning items) even without the Master Crown's influence, though his powers are greatly enhanced by it. His building and summoning skills are apparent in New Challenge Stages, as he was the one who built all the courses that Kirby played through, and he summons a myriad of foes during the races. His industriousness is also on display when he sets up a Gem Apple cart in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash. He seems to have little patience, as shown in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, its remake, and the Kirby Clash games, where talking to him repeatedly will cause him to become annoyed and tell Kirby to get back to his adventure.

Outside of the video game series proper, {{char}} is often used as a representative for news on Kirby series titles, mainly for the Kirby Clash series. Occasionally he interacts with other characters, such as The Three Mage-Sisters, with whom he appears to have a rocky relationship. {{char}} is also often depicted in supplementary material associating with Marx, who shares a similar role and personality with him. As the final bosses of their respective games, they share similar attacks, even identical black hole and laser beam attacks. They also appear together in a Stone transformation in Kirby: Triple Deluxe and one title screen animation of Kirby Star Allies, acknowledging the similarities between the two.
