Lore under the cut!
Art and scripture older than most existing galaxies today can be found all over The Dream Fountain. Depicting a graceful, godlike entity that archaeologists had dubbed "Lady Dream". While a majority of the text is still left untranslated, they've managed to piece together a small snippet of a story from the many, aged murals dotted around the fountain's surrounding structures.
They could only recover the apparent story about halfway through, though. As a good portion of the glass paintings had been either desecrated or completely destroyed. Whether it was through conscious and malicious actions taken by an aggressive third party, or just time taking it's toll on the sacred ground, they have no idea…
"Lady Dream is, from what we can gather; the Goddess of the Night and the Founder of Dreams and Nightmares. Whose endless tears, brought on by an unknown tragedy lost to time, began to pool into a starry puddle beneath her hunched form as she wept. And soon enough that puddle became a lake...
And eventually, She soon crumpled down onto the lake's floor and finally closed her teary eyes. Ane as her grief and power slowly melded into one, she began to dream the first and longest dream. And through her powers, she connected with the universe's many creatures and extended her sleepy delusions of paradise and strange stories to them, created by her now endless sleep. Granting them all the gift of a moment's solace with her from their own troubling existences. However, the unconscious mind has a way of pulling you back to your pain. A terrible pain. And it is said that she once had held a dream so fearsome, it birthed a dark horror from the once peaceful fountain of dreams. Tearing through the sky like a black comet of fear and sorrow. Unleashing onto the universe a new kind of terror.
The first ever NIGHTMARE."

The Finals:
Marx vs Magolor vs Meta Knight
Tumblr media
Note: Mod tried to make the picture above more even in terms of how much space each character takes up, but every outcome aside from this one looked awkward. Please ignore the way the (still slightly awkward) picture looks and pay attention to the order of the options before voting! Thank you! ^-^
Themes:
Marx
Magolor
Meta Knight
Whoever wins this will be considered the Best Kirby Character Tournament's Season 2 winner!

The real reason Nightmare corrupted the Fountain of Dreams is because he was mad that Meta Knight stole all his books

Name: Needlous
Debut: Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Lovely little larva Creeping ‘cross the wood Stretching and contracting Like a little larva should!
Some things in this world are so lovely! So lovely they inspire you to write poetry! Needlous is the very lovely little larva of legend. Let’s Larva Learn!
Tumblr media
But first, here’s a word from our sponsor, Togezo from Kirby’s Adventure! Togezo is sponsoring today’s post because it is desperate to regain any crumb of relevance. Togezo was the first Needle enemy in the series! And its design is about what you would expect. A nondescript little waddling thing with a spiky shell. Togezo was the main Needle enemy for quite a while! It got in multiple games and even got blue shoes in one of them.
But alas! Togezo was utterly replaced. Maybe they thought it was too similar to designs from other games. Maybe they just felt they could do better. Whatever the case, when Adventure was remade in the form of Nightmare in Dream Land, Togezo was gone, and Needlous in its place!
Tumblr media
No disrespect to Togezo, but I think this was a good idea. Needlous is a much more distinct design! More concept to it than just “a spiky guy”, and fits the world very naturally.
Tumblr media
(Though very strangely, Gimmick!, which released even before Kirby’s Adventure, has these two enemies that strongly resemble both Needlous AND Togezo! And this is not the only time Kirby enemies have been strangely similar to Gimmick! ones...)
It is based on the stinging hairs of many caterpillars, but taken to the extreme, becoming big ol’ stabby spikes!
Tumblr media
Needlous is NOT, however, the only Kirby enemy inspired by this phenomenon! Here we have Capiller! Alright. I know. Get it all out. I know it looks unfortunately similar to a certain body part. But it’s not Capiller’s fault that it happens to resemble a Muppet’s eyes and nose!
Kirby has no qualms about eating sharp weapons, fire, toxic waste, ghosts, and more. But he HATES eating Capillers! I assume this is because Capiller (whose Japanese name translates to Hairy Bug) is covered in irritating hairs, even if they are not always depicted visually, and that is just too uncomfortable for even Kirby to eat. Everyone has their limits!
This, then, makes it very strange that Kirby can eat Needlous just fine, and even get the Needle ability from it! Two enemies, both based on the same thing, but executed quite differently. It honestly feels like an oversight, like they just didn’t consider the existence of Capiller when conceptualizing Needlous! Or maybe it was intentional and there is something else about Capiller that Kirby hates. Maybe the eyes. Yucky texture.
Tumblr media
BACK TO NEEDLOUS enough not talking about Needlous on its own post! Needlous is not capable of extending its spikes like Needle Kirby is, but instead, curls up and rolls in spiky disc form! In Return to Dream Land, this move was added to Needle Kirby’s moveset, so you can feel more than ever like you are playing as Needlous! If you take many creative liberties with interpreting what is actually happening.
Tumblr media
Isn’t this such a lovely creature? You should not pet any random creature you meet, especially not dangerous ones like fuzzy caterpillars, but maybe you could pet Needlous, since its spikes are so big that they are easy to maneuver your hand around. Or maybe not! It is still a wild creature, be careful in this hypothetical scenario!
Needlous is such a little larva, but... what will it turn into? Assuming this is not already its adult state, I have some ideas!
Tumblr media
First, the more mundane idea. This is Pierce, a bee with a spear that grants the Spear ability! Bees have some of the squishiest and most helpless little larvae around, not like the capable caterpillar that is Needlous, but the stripes and the points of Needlous do bring bees to mind! If Needlous really does turn into the stingerless Pierce, maybe the spear is one it made itself, using its own shed larval spike!
But now. The more wacky idea! Maybe Needlous is the larva of something that does not even usually have a larva!
Tumblr media
The Spider ability, introduced in Star Allies, has a unique guard where the user is wrapped entirely in silk, with spikes appearing as a counter if attacked! Hmm. Spikes and silk? That sounds like the perfect cocoon for a pointy larva I know!
Tumblr media
And then, there is Como’s striking stripe, matching the colors and stripiness of Needlous! Yes, yes, I know actual arthropod larvae do not resemble their adult forms in this way, but I am just having some fun in Silly Cartoons World over here. Como and Needlous also both debut in the same stage in Return to Dream Land, implying they occupy the same general location, but in different niches!
Needlous is such a humble little larva, but has so much to think about! Its complex past, its many future career paths, and most importantly, its splendid present! Every little larva is so special, please appreciate them whenever you can!

Return to Dream Land (on account of just being remade) and games that originally released on the Switch have not been included.
My own opinion is in the tags, for those interested!
#kirby#kirby nightmare in dream land#kirby's dream land 2#kirby super star ultra#kirby's dream land 3#kirby 64 the crystal shards#kirby and the amazing mirror#kirby squeak squad#kirby triple deluxe#kirby planet robobot#kirby air ride#the games seem to have a trend of being remade ~12 years after they were first released so TECHNICALLY the 3ds games are too recent for tha#but whatever! i had the space for more options so i put them there#and i really only wanted to include the mainline games but i think i remember hearing a lot about people wanting an air ride remake#so it gets to be special and be here! dgdhshsf. never actually played it myself though#i also didn't plan on including the games that already had remakes but again i had space in the poll so! why not?#i voted amazing mirror personally!#the game was made to be multiplayer but that's just. not easy to do#i don't think it was easy when it first released (though admittedly i have no personal experience with that) and it certainly isn't today#but a modern remake would fix that!#yeah yeah i know nintendo's online isn't all that great but it'd still be something! it'd be fun to play it online with my friends!#and if nothing else a split screen local multiplayer would still be great too!#and amazing mirror's plot would lend itself well to an added meta knightmare mode#meta knight defeats dark meta instead of getting sealed away and gets to save the mirror world himself like he had planned to#i do know that amazing mirror should be coming to the gba switch online thing eventually though#so even if it never gets a proper remake i hope that the port will at least add some sort of multiplayer?#that might actually get me to buy the online subscription that includes the gba games dgdhshsf#kirby 64 would be my second choice just because it could use a graphical upgrade the most. 3d models don't age nearly as well as sprites do#only problem is that 64 is part of a trilogy. so it'd be kinda weird if it gets redone but dream land 2 and 3 don't#not a comic or an ask
