The real Clawroline asked Kirby to help her save Leongar. This phantom feline is a fake! Formed from negative thoughts and powerful psychic energy, this wild beast doesn't seem to care about Leongar at all. She may be an illusion, but her claws will cause real damage!
— Figure description fromKirby and the Forgotten Land

Phantom Clawroline, titledIllusory Leopard, is a more powerful illusory form ofClawroline which appears as theboss ofForgo Park inKirby and the Forgotten Land and itsNintendo Switch 2 Edition, and can also be fought in The Ultimate Cup Z and The Ultimate Cup Z EX in theColosseum. Phantom Clawroline looks and fights largely the same as her real counterpart, but has a different color scheme, with bright cyan, purple, and magenta fur, and eyes resembling those ofFecto Forgo.
