==Main Villains== ===Zero and Dark Matter=== [[File:DarkMatterKirby.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Dark Matter, as seen in [[Kirby's Dream Land 2]].]] ''Zero'' (ゼロ), ''Zero Two'' (ゼロツー) and {{nihongo|''Dark Matter''|ダークマター|Dāku Matā}} are recurring antagonists in the series. Dark Matter's main form is that of a planet-sized dark cloud with a single eyeball. It can separate into smaller clouds lined with petal-like extensions. These can possess other beings, putting them under the control of Dark Matter. At the core of the giant cloud is Zero, a giant white creature with a Kirby-sized red eye, which controls the Dark Matter. It is a force of negative energy that lives a lonely existence. It is jealous of Dream Land's lifestyle, so it constantly targets it to recreate Pop Star into a dark world where no one can be happy. Zero surprisingly uses what seems to be "blood" to attack. In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', one small cloud first appears as a masked, robed being, wielding a magical sword. After being defeated, it assumes its small cloud form as it faces Kirby once again. In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', Dark Matter attacks Pop Star, and possesses many of its inhabitants. Kirby eventually, after aiding various creatures in need (including some Nintendo cameos such as Samus Aran and R.O.B.), obtains the Love-Love Stick and defeats Dark Matter by destroying 0 (Zero). Dark Matter returns in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', where it begins to attack Pop Star and five other planets. After being repelled from all of the planets, it forms as the Dark Star. It is controlled by 0² (Zero Two), an angelic-looking form of 0 with a halo, geometric, segmented wings, and a green spiked tail (resembles a cactus), who is destroyed along with the star. The bandage on its head references the event when 0's eye exploded out of its body (a surprisingly bloody animation, which is a complete opposite to the usual cute nature of the game) and chased Kirby around. The "cactus tailed" 0<sup>2</sup> symbolizes his undying hatred towards everything and its halo symbolizes its resurrection and the distant memory of its long gone ability to have positive feelings.{{Citation needed|date=November 2009}} 0<sup>2</sup> highly resembles a fallen angel. After defeating 0<sup>2</sup>, the credits roll, showing various pictures of enemies and allies. One of those pictures shows 0<sup>2</sup> crying blood. ===Nightmare=== '''Nightmare''' (ナイトメア ''Naitomea''), also known as '''The Nightmare Wizard''',<ref name = "Melee">{{cite video game|title = Super Smash Bros. Melee | developer = HAL Laboratory | publisher = Nintendo | date = 2001-12-03 | platform = Nintendo GameCube }}</ref> is the final boss of ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. After Nightmare invades the miraculous Fountain of Dreams, [[King Dedede]] splits up the Star Rod into seven pieces and gives them to his lieutenants, preventing Nightmare from using it to spread bad dreams. Kirby, not knowing this, finds the pieces and reunites them. Nightmare soon tries to steal it, but Kirby ends up using it to defeat him. Nightmare starts out as an orb that shoots stars, and he eventually transforms into a humanoid, vampire-like being with a tornado-like cloak for a body.<ref name = "Adventure">{{cite video game|title = Kirby's Adventure | developer = HAL Laboratory | publisher = Nintendo | date = 1993-05-01 | platform = Nintendo Entertainment System }}</ref> Nightmare is also the main villain of the ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'' anime. He runs '''Holy Nightmare Company''' (ホーリーナイトメア社 ''Hōrī Naitomea-sha'', '''NightMare Enterprises''' in the English dub) . He is given the name of '''NME''' in the English version. Depicted as has having a more threatening persona than in the game, he is instead bent on conquering the universe, and he dominates much of the universe from the series' beginning. He uses his ability to create an endless number of creatures known as demon beasts to conquer civilizations. He also sells them to unsuspecting customers(Like Dedede) for a profit, via a transportation network. His only opposition are the Star Warriors and Galaxy Soldier Army, though they are wiped out before the series begins. He is an embodiment of life's fear and suffering, and so he strives to bring more pain in order to increase his power, and will always exist as long as people hold fear in their hearts. In the finale, he was destroyed by Kirby using the Star Rod. Nightmare is voiced by Banjo Ginga in the Japanese version of the anime and by Andrew Rannells in the English dub.
