KING SHAKALAKA:

Concept: Nothing too grand, though it is a neat idea to have Shakalaka tribe leaders. 6/10

Design: He's really not that much different looking than the regular ones, save for the BBQ spit on his head, which does look kind of cool, I suppose. 6/10

Sound: He just uses the Great Forest music (Which I do enjoy) and he has a small array of squeeks and yells. The drumming sound when he is launching fireballs is pretty cool. 7/10

Gameplay: He has two attacks. Two. One is simply him flailing around wildly, and doing an unrealistic amount of damage. The other is pretty cool, where he launches hot embers from the spit on his head. 6/10

Equpment: He really doesn't have any, save for the poisonous sword you can make, which I don't think requires and special materials from this guy. N/A

Overall: A pretty forgettable mini-boss with only a few noteworthy differences between himself and his Shakalaka subjects. Repetitive gameplay, no equipment to speak of, no reason to love this guy. 5/10
