“KONK! KONK! You finally KONK came! You certainly took your KONK time!”
—Konk, The Legendary Starfy
Konk (known in Japan as Bonbone) is a recurring boss in The Legendary Starfy series. He is the first boss in the first four games of the series, and also the bonus boss in level 9 of the The Legendary Starfy. He is a well known bully who constantly pesters Starfy and his friends, however he is hardly considered a dangerous threat and is seen as more of an annoying nuisance. He appears to have an odd quirk where in the middle of his sentences, he tends to blurt out the word, "KONK!", hence his name.
History
Densetsu no Starfy
In this game, Konk is fought during the events in Coral Reef. After Starfy saves Moe from the Fork brothers, he tells Starfy that Konk kidnapped Ruby while he was talking to her. Starfy then saved her by beating Konk.
Densetsu no Starfy 2
Konk returns, but this time in Lobber's Cave. Puchi Ogura #1 most likely asks for Konk's aid in defeating Starfy, however both end up being defeated by the heroic prince once again.
Densetsu no Starfy 3
Appearing again in Lobber's Cave, Konk used a Helmet to protect his head and make him invulnerable to Star Spins. Starly overhears that exposing Konk to a Light for too long makes Konk too hot while wearing the Helmet, so she moves the Light to have Konk stand underneath it for ten seconds. This proves too much for Konk and the Helmet flies towards Starly, which Starly picks up.
Just after, Konk corners her. Starfy and Moe come just in the nick of time. Konk retreats, but Starfy follows him and ends up beating him again.
Densetsu no Starfy 4
Konk appears once again, but this time with a different shell and darker eye lids. According to Amiiyoshino, Dejiru seems to have powered him up with the power of the Monamool Stone. During the events in Lobber's Cottage, he steals a rose required to enter the Spring of Love, but Starfy manages to beat him again for the forth time.
The Legendary Starfy
Konk appears in The Legendary Starfy as the boss of the ninth level, Pufftop where he is fought by Starly. After managing to break into the royal castle while it was under attack by Mashtooth's minions, he encountered Starly and challenged her to a battle thinking that this time he would achieve victory and get his revenge for his previous defeats, however like always he was defeated by the younger sister of his arch rival, but this would not quell his desire for victory and he continued to challenge Starly every time they encountered each other, but despite his numerous tries he failed to defeat her. He later makes an appearance on the "The Moe Show" where he is looking for Starfy in hopes of asking for his autograph (however this scene should not be taken seriously and was most likely added for comical effect and does not mean that Konk has given up his rivalry with Starfy).
Appearance
Konk is a blue sea snail who lives in a conch shell, or possibly a "KONK!" shell according to his Toy description from The Legendary Starfy. When appearing in Densetsu no Starfy 4, he had a much more colorful shell, which had a small heart and a little more silver colored and slightly spikier shell and also yellowish spikes instead of silver spikes.
Personality
Konk is more of a harmless bully than an actual enemy to Starfy and his friends. He loves Ruby, and often gets into fights with Moe because of Moe's love of Ruby.
The Legendary Starfy describes him as "More harmless than harmful."
Attacks
Konk will spin rather fast. Starfy or Starly will have to attack him from above.
In The Legendary Starfy, he puts a shield over his head, and spins fast. He will also bounce high while spinning, which is a hard move to dodge. Also sometimes when he jumps off screen a net will drop. Turbo Swim left or right in the net and dodge Konk's attack!

Trivia
- Konk is one of the few characters that have appeared in every The Legendary Starfy series game so far.
- Konk is the only boss that appeared in every game.
- Konk, along with Ogura and Bankirosu, are the only bosses that appear in more than one game.
- If one looks closely at Ogura, it can be noticed that they bear a resemblance without the shell and with fiery hair.
- In Densetsu no Starfy 2, Puchi Ogura #1 rides on his head, but does not seem to help him in his battle with Starfy in any way like most of the Puchi Ogura.
- Konk is not the only character with an odd speech pattern.
- In Densetsu no Starfy 4 and the Japanese version of Super Princess Peach, there is an unused 3D model of Konk named 'Bonebone'. The texture file is lacking Konk's upgraded shell from the Densetsu no Starfy 4 boss battle.
- This model appears in an unused panorama named 'stage02'.
