- —King Calamari, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
King Calamari is a minor boss encoutered in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. It sank Johnny Jones' ship (as chronicled in various logs found throught the vessel) and was locked in the treasure room. Mario had to work out a six letter word before he can enter the treasure room using clues provided in various rooms of the ship. This word is "pearls" and after Mario works it out, King Calamari allows him in the treasure room, where he is battled as a boss.
After defeating King Calamari, Mario and his allies gain access to the lower section of the sunken ship.
Battle
When battle starts, the player must destroy three of King Calamari's tentacles before facing against King Calamari's main body and two other tentacles. The tentacles attack by either slamming the party or throwing it high into the air. The later attack does not reduce HP, but it may induce the Fear status effect. Even if King Calamari is defeated, the remaining tentacles need to be destroyed to finish the battle.
In battle, King Calamari can use Ink Blast and Sandstorm as well as Venom Drool.
