| “ | Charge those points up, then...zing! Let 'em fly! Jabhog is famous in the new world for its spiky spines. They were short and cute when it was young, but they eventually grew into dangerous needles. It'll jab anything that gets too close, so approach with caution! | ” | — Figure description fromKirby and the Forgotten Land |
Jabhog is alarge lavender-furred hedgehog-like creature that is part of theBeast Pack and appears inKirby and the Forgotten Land andKirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World. It tends to sit in place untilKirby gets near, at which point it will extend its quills into a very big field of sharp spikes, and then slowly approach Kirby. While its spikes are out, Jabhog cannot be harmed by normal attacks orinhaled, but it is vulnerable otherwise, and will retract its quills after a while or immediately after jabbing Kirby. Inhaling it takes a fair amount of time, but it can be swallowed for theNeedleCopy Ability. Jabhog is worth 5Star Coins when defeated.
