DARK META KNIGHT

This is the first in a series of characters that I am making for a customer that come from the various Kirby Games. Dark Meta Knight is a character in the Kirby series, debuting as the secondary antagonist of Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. He is the Mirror World counterpart of Meta Knight.

Dark Meta Knight would return as a Dream Friend in Kirby Star Allies, teaming up with Kirby, but seemingly only for his own personal gain.
