| '''Ganon''', also referred to as '''Dark Beast Ganon''' or '''Demon King Ganon''', is the beast form of [[Ganondorf]] from ''The Legend of Zelda'' series that debuted in the original NES ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]]''. He is the primary antagonist to [[Princess Zelda]] and [[Link]]. Ganon's beast form has seen many visual changes throughout the series, but is always depicted as some form of beast resembling a warthog. The Ganon form of Ganondorf has appeared in more installments of ''The Legend of Zelda'' series than his true form, and is frequently fought as the final boss.

| Ganon appears as Ganondorf's [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', where he is called "Beast Ganon". He is based on his beast form from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''. Upon transforming, Beast Ganon roars and stomps the ground, stunning any nearby opponents, then charges across the stage, dealing massive damage and knockback. Opponents caught in the transformation itself are buried. This Final Smash can stun even airborne fighters, but fighters who are behind or are far away from Beast Ganon can avoid his attack. At the end of the Final Smash, Ganondorf returns to where he initiated the attack.
