Evil as seen in his first form

Evil, romanized in the Densetsu no Starfy 3 Nintendo Official Guidebook as Iburu is the main antagonist of Densetsu no Starfy 3 alongside Ogura. Ogura refers to Evil as his "personage". Ogura is Evil's servant. At the beginning of the game, he summoned a thunderstorm which strook Pufftop Palace and shattered the jar, freeing Ogura. Ogura then went on a trip to return to Evil in Old Castle.

While Evil has an important role throughout the game, the player does not get to fight him until after defeating Ogura for the first time. He was the one that first told Ogura about Pufftop a long time ago when Ogura was young and asked him to conquer Pufftop.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

After Ogura's trip, when Ogura returned to Evil, he was angry at Ogura for arriving late and failing to conquer Pufftop. Evil gave Ogura "one last chance", and altered his appearance to make him stronger. In Old Castle, Evil struck Moe with lightning after Kyorozou mentioned Evil and Moe said that he would never help him, but Kyorozou went in Moe's place and pushed him away to try and endure the attack. Kyorozou unfortunately couldn't stand the attack and passed away.

Prior to Staff Roll 1, players do not get to battle Evil. Evil's first and second form (who may be known as Jashin Evil) can only be battled after completing the game once, but the player can only truly defeat Evil with the power of the 42 Evil Crystals. Starfy and Moe learn about the Evil Crystals by attending a lecture from the Pufftop Scholar; who gives them one of the crystals. 40 of the crystals are found at the end of past areas, while the final Evil Crystal is possessed by Ogura.

At the end of the game, Starfy, Starly and Moe gather all the Evil Crystals except the one possessed by Ogura, but this was not enough. Evil torments them, until Ogura appears to spare the last crystal. This puts an end to Evil, and peace is returned to Pufftop Kingdom, however Ogura had sacrificed his life to help Starfy and Starly in the process.

Spoilers end here.

Attack Patterns

The first form has what is presumed to be Evil sitting in a giant chair. His hands break free and move around the arena (keeping the same lines). They fire thunderbolts occasionally. You have to jump on each hand to hit the weak point, which is the head. This form is not very difficult, although it does speed up quite a bit during the last 2 bars of health.

The second form is where things get fairly nasty. After climbing up to a large platform with water on either side, Evil flies down with his new jet pack. After his intro, you fight him. This form is much more difficult compared to the last form. What you must do to damage him is cause him to punch at you. This leaves a gap for you to attack his jet pack. (It takes 2 hits on each thruster) After you destroy the jet pack, he falls down (Despite the fact he has 3 pairs of wings). You must then attack the head before he gets back up. He has a large amount of attacks at his disposal, such as a triple thunderbolt attack (This soon becomes 3x the amount during his last 2 bars), he can spit an egg out of his mouth which hatches into tiny blob-like enemies that slow you down, and if you try to attack before he punches, he will grab you and throw you, which stuns. He tends to follow this up with a mini-meteor attack (that has a pretty obvious crosshair), and it is very difficult to dodge due to the tiny window of opportunity you get to dodge from recovering. During the last 2 bars of health, the fight gets insane, with Evil getting insanely fast, and launching huge amounts of attacks at once. His punch attack gets a lot faster (making it a lot more difficult to counter) and during the last bar of health, he rises up. A green energy ball forms a giant meteor at the top. You HAVE to destroy this in order to defeat Evil. After hitting the 12 random weak points, he falls again. Attack his head again, and you've beaten him!

Trivia

• In a Densetsu no Stafy 3 commercial and the official website, he has a form that never appears in the game, but it's possible that they were made before Evil's design was finished.
• Both Ogura and Evil are mentioned in one of the texts in game, but do not appear in Densetsu no Stafy 4.

  

  Evil's unused form behind Ogura

• His first form looks similar to Ogura's final form. A notable difference is that he has arms and legs.
• Evil is the first of three antagonists that only appeared in one game. The other two being Dejeel and Mashtooth.
• In the picture shown here he looks like fire.
• His first form somewhat looks like a blob of goo siting in a giant chair.
