Dharkon
From The Codex
| “ | As Galeem, the Lord of Light defeated. Darkness takes hold. In a blink of an eye, the land is swallowed by Shadow. The Embodiment of Chaos and Darkness, Dharkon. | „ |
| ~ Narration in World of Light • Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. |
Background
Dharkon is one of the two main antagonists of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Adventure Mode: World of Light. He is described as the "Embodiment of Chaos and Darkness" in the World of Light. His goal, similar to that of his light counterpart Galeem, is to corrupt the universe in his own image.
After Galeem's first defeat, Dharkon appears from a portal in the sky, commanding an army of Crazy Hands. After the Crazy Hands briefly fight Galeem's Master Hands and win, Galeem proceeds to flee. Dharkon proceeds to take control of the remaining captive fighters and Spirits and creates a world of darkness.
Dharkon is summoned following the defeat of Ganon, Marx, and Dracula in the Dark Realm. Following Dharkon's first defeat, he proceeds to flee into the final world, with Galeem following soon after. In the final world, Galeem and Dharkon wage war against each other, but are also seeking to destroy the fighters.
If only Galeem is defeated during the Final Battle, Dharkon destroys Galeem's army, enchains and impales him and engulfs the fighters and the world in darkness. Mario also is shown collapsing, seemingly dead, resulting in one of two bad endings.
If only Dharkon is defeated during the Final Battle, Galeem turns into a black hole again and engulfs the fighters in a bright light. Galeem takes over the entire universe again.
If both Galeem and Dharkon are confronted in the final stage, following Master Hand and Crazy Hand being freed from control and conquering the battlefield, the pair continue to battle each other along with their puppet fighters and bosses before turning their attention to the fighters in a three-way battle. Once both Dharkon and Galeem are finally defeated, they fall into the sea and explode, freeing all the spirits from their control.

Powers and Techniques
Equipment
The World of Darkness, his Crazy Hands, and the controlled spirit fighters
| Move | Damage | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Centipede | One of Dharkon's tentacles snakes around the arena while coated in dark energy, attempting to damage the player, with his eye trailing behind it. It will use a longer tentacle at low health, making it harder to avoid. | |
| Torrent of Darkness | Dharkon covers two sides of the screen with wave-shaped lines of darkness that provide a small, ever-shifting gap of safety between them. The fighter will rapidly take damage upon touching the lines. This attack goes through shields. If Galeem is present, each will contribute one wave to the attack. If Galeem is stunned, only the bottom of the screen is covered. | |
| Pillar of Darkness | Dharkon creates beams of darkness that erupt from the ground. This attack is never used during his first battle. | |
| Dark Fighter | Dharkon vanishes and his tentacles expand, producing two or three dark false characters to support him, which eventually self-destruct after a period of time and can inflict damage when they do so. If Galeem's false characters are present, they will fight each other. | |
| Transdimensional Rush | Dharkon sends his tentacles through a series of portals, dealing damage as the tentacles pass by at multiple angles. His eye will hover in the middle of the stage. | |
| Pierce | Dharkon uses three to five of his tentacles to attack the player one after another. Dharkon's eye is exposed when the last tentacle strikes. This attack is never used during the first fight with Dharkon. | |
| Gatling | Dharkon shoots a barrage of small energy bullets from the top left corner of the screen. These do negligible damage from far away (shielding all of it while standing on the right of the stage is possible) but massive damage if the player tries to get close to Dharkon. If Dharkon has taken enough damage, it will end the barrage with a larger, more powerful blast. Neither type of projectile can be reflected, as these are actually disjointed hitboxes, similar to the Tabuu's Tabuu Shot. | |
| Tear Apart | Dharkon performs a damaging slash that rips a large red line across the screen. The resulting line, which lingers for a while, will cause the player to be slowed while inside it. At low health (after the first fight), it creates two red lines in an "X" shape instead. | |
| Time Bomb: X-Type | Dharkon creates three to six small objects that explode in X-shaped beams of darkness like X Bombs. These can be destroyed before their detonation to stop the attack. Dharkon is likely to create more in his second phase. | |
| If Galeem is stunned, Dharkon turns his tentacles into a hammer that attacks Galeem's core and deals significant damage. The player will also be damaged if too close and get buried, remaining submerged longer if the opponent has already dealt a fair amount of damage. |
