'''Galeem''' ({{ja|キーラ|Kīra}}, ''Kiila'') is one of the two main antagonists of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]]. He is described as the "Lord of Light" and the "ultimate enemy" in the World of Light. His goal is to recreate the universe in his own image. His dark counterpart is named [[Dharkon]], who tries to achieve the dark equivalent of Galeem's vision.

Galeem is first seen accompanied by an army of [[Master Hand]]s, approaching the cliff where the [[fighter]]s are situated. As the fighters prepare for battle, every Master Hand surrounding Galeem slowly disintegrates into a glowing, blue streak of light that ends up being absorbed by the winged being. As the fighters prepare for the glowing orb’s next move, Shulk suddenly envisions the downfall of his comrades at Galeem's hands and immediately looks at them all in shock and despair, but perhaps foresees Kirby's escape. The singularity between Galeem and the now-absorbed life force of his Master Hand army transforms him into a black hole, which soon collapses, unleashing an array of beams of intense light. He uses this attack to not only vaporize every fighter that was situated on the cliff (with the sole exception of {{SSBU|Kirby}}, who just barely manages to escape the onslaught with the help of his Warp Star), but he also uses the aforementioned beams of light to atomize every non-playable character, leaving them as nothing more than [[spirit]]s.

Shortly afterward, it is also revealed that Galeem is the creator of the [[False character|puppet fighters]], who are unleashed upon Galeem's new world with the purpose of stopping Kirby from freeing his comrades. After Galeem's first defeat, [[Dharkon]] appears alongside his army of [[Crazy Hand]]s, driving Galeem away. Galeem later returns when Dharkon is defeated and flees into a dark portal, with Galeem in pursuit.

In the final battle, Galeem wages war against Dharkon while also seeking to destroy the fighters. If only Dharkon is defeated, Galeem destroys Dharkon's army and strikes him down, killing him and engulfing the universe in light, resulting in one of two bad endings. If only Galeem is defeated, Dharkon impales him and corrupts the universe, resulting in the other of the two bad endings.

The true ending can be obtained by defeating both Galeem and Dharkon in the [[Final stage (World of Light)|final stage]]. Both Galeem and Dharkon are finally defeated by the fighters, sinking into the ocean and exploding thereafter.

Galeem also appears in {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}'s reveal trailer. While facing the fighters with his army of Master Hands, he is ambushed by Sephiroth, who slashes him cleanly in half using his sword Masamune, at which point his core turns black while his army of Master Hands disintegrates.

Galeem's core is the only place he can be damaged. He can be stunned, which drops his core on the stage for several seconds. Once his [[HP|health]] drops below half, Galeem's core will constantly emit a bright shine.

During the final battle with Galeem and [[Dharkon]], both bosses will target both the player and each other, and are capable of dealing damage to each other; if one is stunned, the other will seize the opportunity to take a potshot. Regardless, only the player can deplete their HP to 0.

|Penetrate ({{ja|つきぬける|Tsukinukeru}})||100.95%||Galeem's wings ravel into two to five drill-like objects which slam through the ground. At low health, he will create up to six drills instead (enough to fully cover the stage when combined) and perform the attack twice in a row. This attack is a [[meteor smash]] to aerial characters.

|Massive Laser ({{ja|大量レーザー|Tairyō Rēzā}})||119.4%||A crisscrossing mass of small purple lines appear on the screen, marking the position of powerful laser beams that fire a second later. The beams deal heavy damage but can be avoided with careful positioning to stay in the gaps between the beams or with dodging. When Galeem is at low health, more beams are created and the attack is done twice in a row.

|Stationary Turret ({{ja|固定砲台|Kotei Hōdai}})||11.6%, 7.8% (late)||Galeem multiplies his core into three, which fire a barrage of smaller projectiles. The projectiles can be reflected or absorbed.

|Intimidation ({{ja|威嚇|Ikaku}})||124.65%||Reminiscent of [[Tabuu]]'s [[Off Waves]], Galeem releases two to four orbs that produce powerful, slow-moving shockwaves. Like the Off Waves, these cannot be shielded against, and despite not being an [[OHKO]], they require careful dodging to avoid taking significant damage and knockback. This is only used in his second battle only.

|Light Fighter ({{ja|光のファイター|Hikari no Faitā}})||N/A||Galeem vanishes and his wings expand, producing two (three on Hard difficulty) light [[false character]]s to support him. These eventually self-destruct after a period of time and their explosion, while not terribly powerful, has wide range. If dark false characters are present, they will fight each other.

|||194.1%||If Dharkon is stunned, Galeem turns his wings into a spear that impales Dharkon's eye to deal significant damage. The player will also be damaged if too close but otherwise is not in any danger.
