Summary

Como is an enemy that first appeared in Kirby's Dream Land 3. A staple enemy that has appeared in almost every mainline game since, it did not give Kirby any ability upon inhaling until Kirby Star Allies, where it granted him the Spider Copy Ability. During the events of Star Allies, Como joins with Kirby upon being hit by a Friend Heart, where he proves to be a valuable ally in his quest to save Popstar.

Powers and Stats

Tier: 6-A | 6-A, possibly 2-C

Key: Random Como | Star Ally Como

Name: Como

Origin: Kirby's Dream Land 3

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown

Classification: Spider, Regular enemy | As before, one of Kirby's Helpers/Friends, Star Ally^[1]

Powers and Abilities:

Attack Potency: Continent level (Can harm and defeat fellow regular enemies when they're Helpers, like Parasol Waddle Dee and Waddle Doo) | Continent level (As before), possibly Low Multiverse level (Any Star Ally/friend can follow Kirby in a group of four in the canon defeats of Void Termina, Corrupt Hyness, and the retaliators Three Mage-Sisters [at once]. The four used their energy and collective power to create a Friend Star, which fused with four Heart Spears to create the Star Allies Sparkler, which was used to help defeat Void Termina. In side content four random Star Allies can defeat Marx, Morpho Knight EX and the strongest versions of Void Termina. Although Friend Dreams are more notable partners for Kirby due to most of them having previously shown to be in his level and some still doing so afterwards. Still, with the ability to grow more powerful by deepening bonds of friendship, which repeatedly happened in Star Allies, Como could have become on a comparable level to Void Termina, similar to how the initially unimpressive Twin Woods used this mechanic to grow more powerful a few times to have great strength in their last battle against Kirby), able to negate durability with Friend Hearts

Speed: Relativistic+ Combat Speed (Any Como can obstruct and tag regular "friends", which are mostly fellow regular enemies, some of them being mid-bosses; Friends include Parasol Waddle Dees, Knuckle Joes, and other species whose members showed before^[4] that they could as Helpers dodge and block attacks from Simirrors, who can react to an incoming laser by using a reflective move at a close distance [0.64 c], and can react to & dodge those lasers across their adventures) | Relativistic+ Combat Speed (As before), possibly Massively FTL+ Combat & Travel Speed (Same reasoning as his Attack Potency. Can keep up with any Star Ally through levels and as they chased and kept up with Jamba Heart pieces multiple times. Can maneuver in combat the Star Allies Sparkler, an improved version of the Warp Star)

Lifting Strength: Unknown | Unknown, possibly Multi-Stellar (Same reasoning as his Attack Potency. Can survive harmed pressure-based attacks that affect the likes of Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede and Bandana Waddle Dee, like Void Termina's Bon Appetit. Can survive a Black Hole from Marx or Magolor when they're being controlled by Morpho Knight or Void Termina, or when himself is being controlled and Marx and Magolor are free) to Universal (If Post-Magolor Epilogue Magolor is correct about the potency of his Black Hole)

Striking Strength: Continent level | Continent level, possibly Low Multiverse level

Durability: Continent level | Continent level, possibly Low Multiverse level (Same reasoning as his Attack Potency. Can survive unharmed being used to attack comparable foes by Kirby's Spit, and his and other characters' Friend Abilities that either punch him, stab & toss him, or explode him flying towards foes to damage them)

Stamina: Below Average (A small creature who attacks those those who approach him) | Superhuman (4 of any Star Ally can complete an adventure of several levels and bosses without any notable rest, ultimately defeating Zan Partizanne, Hyness (2 phases), and Void Termina (4 phases) one after another^[1])

Range: Below Standard Melee Range physically, likely higher with projectiles

Standard Equipment: None notable | As before. A floaty

• Optional Equipment: None | Power-Up Hearts, various food items, Invincibility Candy, Maxim Tomato, Dream Rod, Friend Star and Star Allies Sparkler
• Can Create/Summon: Nothing | A Friend Star

Intelligence: Below Average (Most beings in the series are silly and childish to a degree. A spider with sentience. | As before, now with much higher combat skills, being able to assist in the defeats of Meta Knight, Hyness, Void Termina, Morpho Knight, Parallel Meta Knight, and the Retaliators Three Mage-Sisters^[1])

Weaknesses: None notable

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• String Shot: Como shoots a single string that encases the opponent in a pod upon landing.
• Net Work: Como charges and creates a large web around himself, encasing anyone caught in a pod.
• Skyward Web: Como shoots a large web needle above him, piercing anyone hit by the attack.
• Web Sling: Como dashes forward and launches a web in front of him, encasing anyone caught in a pod.
• Web Scatter: Como dashes in the air and launches three smaller webs in front of him, encasing anyone caught in a pod.
• Downward Web: Como creates a web underneath himself while in the air, encasing anyone caught in a pod.
• Pod Kick: Como kicks a pod with an enemy trapped inside, damaging them and anyone caught in their path.
• Pod Snatch: Como grabs a pod.
  • Pod Slam: Como smashes the pod he's holding into the ground in front of him, before launching it in front of him, dealing damage to any enemy in his path.
  • Pod Slamabam: Similar to Pod Slam, except Como smashes the pod in front of him and behind him repeatedly before launching it.
• Pod Guard: Como encases himself in pod. Any enemy that makes contact with his pod will cause spikes to jut out of the pod, dealing damage to anyone nearby. When releasing it, the pod bursts apart, dealing more damage.
• Bouncy Web: Como creates a heart-shaped web above himself.
  • Friend Bounce: Como and any of his allies can bounce off of his webs, especially his Bouncy Web, causing them to briefly turn invincible and deal damage to anyone in their path.
• Space Jump: A technique most Kirby characters have, Como transforms into a small ball of energy which turns out to be intangible, he uses this power to mobilize himself or regroup with mates faster. Any carried item is transformed too, as proven by other users of Space Jump^[5].
• Positive Energy Manipulation: Called "positive energy" in America and left nameless & vague in the original version, it refers to the energies Star Allies manipulate while doing Friend Actions and Team Attacks; The white energy with colorful stars around, which may trigger with a heart-shaped wave. What exactly positive energy is is a bit vague, but it's related to friendship and companionship, and should be the opposite of "negative energy" (American name)/ "dark matter/substance" (Original name. Not to be confused with Dark Matter), which is conformed by, or related to, hatred, obsession, jealousy, desire, and can be invisible. In short, they are opposite types of concepts that respectively relate to morally good, healthy attitudes and evil, unhealthy attitudes, and is something that forms energy-based moves, powers up attacks, and allows Star Allies to use certain abilities in the first place.
• Friend Heart: Obtained in Kirby Star Allies, Como generates a Friend Heart which is then quickly thrown to his objective(s). This can be done an unlimited amount of times as well as repeatedly. Upon contact or near it, the Friend Heart will generate a major change in the empathy of the being(s) affected to the point of making them change their morality towards being friends & allies with Como. The Friend Hearts have also shown to make feel objectives extremely happy, make them have a deep appreciation for the one who used a Friend Heart on them, generate clothes in others, work on robots, heal & purify others, operate without making direct contact to others' bodies as well as affect more than one being at a time. Friend Hearts were also shown either creating or turning small areas they reached into Friend Platforms (Creation or Transmutation), an ability any Star Ally may possess, but no character in Star Allies uses Friend Hearts in this manner or were aware that this happened. The last function the Friend Hearts have is that their sentient targets will immediately be bestowed with the ability the generate and use Friend Hearts with all previously mentioned characteristics.
• Revival Spell: A technique that, depending on the game, either resurrects dead allies or merely heals them from being defeated & unconscious. Both uses are applied to their users as they are doing the same process over what seems to be the same spell given the same name. Initially appearing in the Team Kirby Clash mini-game, the Kirbys there could approach others Kirbys and revive them when being defeated, which meant falling into the floor with their souls leaving their bodies. On the Team Kirby Clash Deluxe & Super Kirby Clash games the Kirbys there could even obtain items to improve their ability to resurrect others. Before the latter game, in Kirby Star Allies, every playable character became able to "Revive" defeated allies, but these defeated allies don't lose their souls and it's notable how some are still breathing.
• Team Attack: In Star Allies when piggybacking an ally or more, they can briefly charge energy to shoot an energy beam. The more allies charging energy the more powerful the attack will be.

Optional Equipment

Feats

• Like all Star Allies, Comos can dodge, perceive as slow and withstand getting smashed by relatively giant meteors falling down fast enough to catch themselves on fire. (Kirby Star Allies)
