“ We've made it! Our troubles are over. The ruler of this land has promised to feed our flock if we stay here!”
— Crowemon • Waste Management

Crowemon is a crow that commands a giant flock of crows and appears in Kirby: Right Back at Ya! as the main antagonist in the 87th episode Waste Management.

Physical Appearance

Normal Form

At first, Crowemon is a simple black crow with a scar on his left eye. He is about the same size as the rest of his flock and has a large strand of feathers on the top of his head, despite his appearance, he has a dark deep demon-like voice.

Monster Form

As a monster, Crowemon's size multiplies tenfold. He also gets sunken in red eyes and a large horn on his head. His feathers become purple in color and he gains large, dark purple markings around his eyes. Crowemon retains his trademark scar as a monster.

History

When the forest Crowemon lived in was destroyed, his flock urgently needed food. King Dedede had a surplus of garbage at the time, so this was an opportunity for the crows to feed. Dedede bargained with them; he would get rid of the garbage by feeding it to the voracious flock. Unfortunately, there was not enough garbage to satisfy them, so Crowemon indefinitely declares that they have "been betrayed." The flock is soon convinced to find their meals in Cappy Town. The crows descend upon the town and start raiding it for more food. Soon enough, the crows are forced out of the town and back to the castle. From there the crows are kicked out again and retreat to a prairie. Crowemon continues to preach to the crows until he stumbles upon a box filled with food they confiscated from the town which he drinks a bottle of liquid from. Unfortunately, the drink is really a monster-making serum. Crowemon mutates and becomes a violently insane monster. He starts brainwashing the other birds and convinces them to attack the village. Dyna Blade gets involved and goes to fend off Crowemon and his flock when she sees her chick is missing. It is revealed that Crowemon has it captive; unfortunately, with Crowemon clutching the chick at death's grip. Dyna Blade is stuck in an unfair hostage situation. Laughing and taunting Dyna Blade's helplessness, Crowemon overwhelms her by blasting her with his heat vision. However, Kirby sucks up a feather and becomes Wing Kirby, who quickly exterminates the smaller crows with his Feather Gun attack, and attacks Crowemon, freeing Dyna Chick. Crowemon is dumbfounded and is quickly smacked backwards by Dyna Blade. Crowemon crashes into a large mountain, and unconsciously descends into the forest below as he reverts to normal. With Crowemon defeated, the rest of the birds are freed from his control. Sympathetic to the crows' situation, Tiff offers to help restore the forest the crows originally came from, much to Crowemon's gratitude.

Powers and Abilities

Normal Form

In his normal form, Crowemon has basic abilities to that of a real crow. He can flap his wings to fly and can eat up garbage with little to no effort.

Monster Form

In his monster form, he retains his ability to fly, but this time he can hypnotize many different types of birds and make them his minions, though this doesn't appear to work on mythical creatures like Dyna Chick and Dyna Blade. He can fire red energy lasers from his eyes, which are powerful enough to push back Dyna Blade.

Quotes

“ You lied to me! You said you'd give us all we can eat. But the trash is gone and we're still hungry!”
— Crowemon • Waste Management
“ Stay back, or I'll put the squeeze on your darling baby! All the birds in this world fear and respect you, except for us. Every hundred years, you show up and expect us to cower before you, but you and that ravenous chick of yours gobble up too much of our food supply. We crows are taking control now. So, if you want to see your chick again, stay out of our way!”
— Crowemon threatening Dyna Chick • Waste Management
“ You will never get away!”
— Crowemon • Waste Management

Etymology

His Japanese name クロウエモン (Kurouemon) is a play on the word crow and the name 九郎右衛門 (Kurouemon).

Trivia

  • Crowemon has some similarities to Amon.
    • Both characters are disgruntled animals that lead a group of other animals.
    • Both characters become monsters.
    • Both characters' monster forms have a projectile attack (Amon: Firing drills from his head, Crowemon: Firing energy lasers from his eyes).
    • Both share a voice actor (Nobuo Tobita in Japanese and Ted Lewis in English)
    • Both characters are not truly evil and only became evil after a tragic event happened to them (Amon: Nearly got eaten by King Dedede when he was young, Crowemon: His home (the forest) got destroyed).
      • Despite their similarities, they are opposite in some ways.
        • Amon has a flashback of him when he was young shown, has the ability to transform into his monster form at will, fights on the ground and was never defeated, only stopping attacking Kirby when Tiff blew on the whistle to stop the sheep flock.
        • Crowemon, on the other hand, does not have his history shown, was turned into a monster by the formula he found, fights Kirby in the air, and is single-handedly defeated (albeit by Dyna Blade).
