Maimaigon

The Maimaigon is a psychotic Demon Beast that is encountered in Shell Shocked. He was created accidentally when Escargon lost his shell and put on a steel-hard one, which turned him into a psychopath. He is fought by Hammer Kirby.

Physical Appearance
The Maimaigon bears very little resemblance to his old self. His concealed form depicts him with glowing green eyes, but when he makes his first appearance, the Maimaigon does not appear to have eyes at all. His arms are stubbier, and his shell has two horns that allow him to fire a powerful laser known as a Mai Mai Beam. He is very, very large, about twice or thrice the size of King Dedede's limousine.

History
King Dedede's assistant, Escargon, loses his shell after King Dedede himself uses his hammer to break it open to see what is underneath. Kirby goes out of his way to find the poor snail a turban shell, much to Escargon's delight. Escargon is later given a trick shell, but this turns out to be a mistake, as it engulfs him, and the Maimaigon is born. Just seconds after he is born, the Demon Beast tries to attack the gang. However, Kirby uses his Inhale to absorb King Dedede's Hammer, resulting in his transformation into Hammer Kirby. Kirby destroys the shell with a hammer throw, and Escargon reverts to his normal form and retrieves his old shell, which Tiff had fixed for him.

Trivia

 * Shell Shocked is so far the first time Escargon becomes a Demon Beast.
 * Tuff jokes that the Maimaigon could have tasted better with garlic and melted butter.
