'''King Calamari''' is a giant [[Blooper]], and a minor boss encountered in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. It sank [[Johnny]]'s [[Sunken Ship|ship]] (as chronicled in various logs found throughout the vessel) and was locked in the treasure cellar. [[Mario]] has to work out a six-letter word before he can enter the treasure cellar using clues provided in various rooms of the ship. After Mario learns the word, King Calamari allows him in the treasure cellar to battle.

After Mario learns the word is "pearls", King Calamari allows him in the Treasure Room to battle.  


After defeating King Calamari, Mario and his allies gain access to the lower section of the Sunken Ship.

==Battle==
==Battle==
When the battle starts, the player encounters three tentacles in each of the first two sequences; the tentacles attack by either slamming a party member or throwing one high into the air. The latter attack does not reduce a party member's HP, but it induces the [[Fear]] status effect regardless of immunity. The last sequence is fought against King Calamari's main body and two other tentacles.  Even if King Calamari is defeated, the remaining tentacles need to be destroyed to finish the battle.
