| “ | Sillydillo is an incredible dancer...as long as the dance involves spinning. It's a nocturnal critter, so it can see quite well in the dark. It seems to have orders from its boss to find something important, but all it brings home is junk! What was it supposed to find again? Something...small? And floaty? Hmm... | ” | — Figure description fromKirby and the Forgotten Land |
Sillydillo, titledArmor-Plated Prancer, is aboss in theKirby series, appearing inKirby and the Forgotten Land and itsNintendo Switch 2 Edition as a member of theBeast Pack's executive council, fought at the end ofOriginull Wasteland in the stageCollector in the Sleepless Valley. It is a large armadillo with cartoonish features on its face, thin arms, and large claws on its paws. Plated markings made from street signs can be seen attached to its outer shell on its back, and it attacks by curling up and rolling towardsKirby in combat. As evidenced by the hoard of objects in its lair, Sillydillo likes to collect things from around thenew world. It has a habit of creating puppets, including three puppets resembling Kirby, which are suspended above its battle arena, and is also the one responsible for making all of the wanted posters of Kirby andElfilin seen throughout the game.
Game appearances[edit]
Kirby and the Forgotten Land /Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World[edit]
InKirby and the Forgotten Land, Sillydillo serves as one of the bosses of the game, being primarily fought in the stageCollector in the Sleepless Valley at the end of Level 5:Originull Wasteland. It lures Kirby into a trap by setting up a fakeElfilin in a cage and then tries to capture him in one to rattle him around. When this fails, Sillydillo then tries using its charge attack and throwing its handmade "dance partners" at him, but it is ultimately defeated and forced to fall back, relinquishing theWaddle Dees it had captured.
Later on, Sillydillo is fought again in the stageGathering of the Beast Council, where only its later phase is used. In the post-game, Sillydillo can also be fought in The Ultimate Cup in theColosseum, and has a variant calledPhantom Sillydillo that appears inIsolated Isles: Forgo Dreams, The Ultimate Cup Z, and The Ultimate Cup Z EX.
At the end of Forgo Dreams, Sillydillo and the rest of the Beast Pack arrive atForgo Land after the defeat ofMorpho Knight. All of them give out aPiece of Leon's Soul to saveLeongar.

Sillydillo has 1,800 HP inCollector in the Sleepless Valley, 684 HP inGathering of the Beast Council and 1,260 HP inThe Ultimate Cup. In Originull Wasteland and The Ultimate Cup, it transitions to phase 2 once its health is less than 80% and transitions to phase 3 once its health is less than 40%. It takes 0.2X damage during phase transitions.[1]

| Sillydillo's attacks inKirby and the Forgotten Land | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attack | Description | Notes | ||
| アレダ・パラパ Gotcha Dillo | Sillydillo approaches Kirby and tries to capture him with an unguardable cage, using a lateral swing close to the ground. If caught, Kirby will be trapped in the cage, and shaken about for heavy damage until he escapes (done by the player mashing the control stick). The swing leaves aDropped Star behind upon finishing. If the player fails to make Kirby escape the cage, Sillydillo will end the attack by slamming the cage on the ground, defeating Kirby no matter how much health he has left. This makes Sillydillo and itsForgo Dreams phantom some of the few foes in the entireKirby series to have the ability to instantly defeat the player regardless of how much health they currently have. | |||
| Second and third phase only | ||||
| コロガ・パラパ Rolling Dillo | Sillydillo rolls up into a ball and starts revving up. It then charges at Kirby in a straight line at high speed three times in quick succession, each one leaving a few Dropped Stars in its wake. At the end of the third charge, Sillydillo is left helpless on its back for a moment as more Dropped Stars appear around it. | The time it takes for Sillydillo to charge after revving decreases in the third phase. | ||
| Third phase only | ||||
| グラン・パ・ド・ドゥ Grand Pas de Deux | Sillydillo pulls out one of its "dance partners" and starts twirling around with it, bouncing off the walls of the arena and leaving Dropped Stars on occasion. | Agrand pas de deux is a pas de deux with a fixed structure. | ||
| パ・ド・ドゥ Pas de Deux | Sillydillo pulls out its "dance partners" and tosses two of them towards Kirby. These weakly home in on him and leave Dropped Stars as they pass. This move is usually performed right after "Grand Pas de Deux". | A pas de deux is a ballet duet performed by two dancers, typically a man and a woman. | ||
