Dharkon: Difference between revisions

'''Dharkon''', known in Japan as '''Darz''' (A pun on the English ''dark'', which mirrors how he is the '''Lord of Darkness'''), is one of the two main antagonists of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''{{'}}s World of Light Mode, and is the dark counterpart to [[Galeem]]. Dharkon's body consists of many dark purple spiky tentacles formed into a jumbled mass with a single light-blue eyeball in the center. His English name is a pun on ''darken'' and the Greek ''Arkhos'' (ruler), Similar to how Galeem's English name is a corruption of the world "gleam".

Dharkon first appears after Galeem's first defeat, emerging from a large crack in the sky, along with an army of [[Crazy Hand]]s. HeIt proceeds to power through Galeem's [[Master Hand]] army and takes control of the remaining fighters, creating hisits own world of darkness. After hisits first defeat, Dharkon flees to the final world along with Galeem, who wages a war against Dharkon and hisits Crazy Hand army with anits army of Master Hands. In the final world, if only Galeem is defeated, Dharkon destroys Galeem's army and takes over the world with hisits darkness, which results in a bad ending. In the other bad ending, where only Dharkon is defeated, the world is completely engulfed in light, and Dharkon's body disintegrates as his opponent zaps him with light. In the true ending, both Galeem and Dharkon are defeated.

Dharkon uses several attacks during hisits fights, including creating two large darkness waves that move erratically on the left and ride sides of the screen, which players must dodge. Dharkon's body may also disappear for a moment and reappear as a single tentacle that moves around the stage (with his eye trailing behind) as well as create two portals and quickly move between both of them, attempting to damage the player. It also may spawn several bombs that will explode, which have an effect similar to the [[X Bomb]] item. It can also spawn dark versions of the fighters, who will fight along with Dharkon, who causes large beams to shoot onto the stage, attempting to damage the player. The only part of Dharkon's body that players can damage is hisits eyeball, which may temporarily be stunned and fall on the stage, allowing players to get a few easy hits.

During the final battle between both Galeem and Dharkon, Dharkon will attempt to damage players with hisits tentacles while climbing a vertically scrolling stage. It also spawns more dark versions of the fighters, which players must defeat to progress. Galeem also does this in the second half, except with light versions of fighters.
