Story
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
When Riku returns to the Nave in La Cité des Cloches, Riku will encounter the Lord Kyroo. When first encountered, the Lord Kyroo will ask for a fight. Upon accepting its challenge, Riku will face off against the Lord Kyroo and its army of Chief Kyroos and Sir Kyroos. If Riku doesn't defeat the Lord Kyroo within a certain amount of time, the Lord Kyroo will retreat before blowing a kiss. Sora will then encounter the Lord Kyroo at the Promontory in Prankster's Paradise, where the Lord Kyroo will offer the same challenge to Sora. If the Sora doesn't defeat the Lord Kyroo, the Lord Kyroo will retreat to the Moonlight Wood in Symphony of Sorcery waiting for Riku. If Riku doesn't defeat the Lord Kyroo this time, the Lord Kyroo will retreat, repeating its location and challenge again and again to Sora and Riku until they defeat the Lord Kyroo.
Design
The Lord Kyroo resembles both the Sir Kyroo and Chef Kyroo, being a frog-like creature with a rotund body and head with stubby limbs (as well as having three large toes). However, it more so resembles the former, since it wields a shield and sword combo (only it has an actual circular-shield and a rapier instead). It also wears a crown as well as a cape (that has polka dots on the end) with shoulder pads.
Kaeru (蛙) and Ōji (王子) mean "frog" and "prince" in Japanese, respectively.
Spirit
As a spirit, Lord Kyroo is mainly colored green with some shades of yellow and purple (mainly around its limbs). Its crown is colored yellow with pink tones, and its cape is mainly blueish-purple (with yellow polka dots). Paint Guns affect all of its green parts, excluding green on its feet and legs. It also has a pale-yellow underbelly, and its shield is colored yellow with a pink squared symbol in its center with a white-metal rim. The same symbol appears on its rapier's handguard, colored green; the grip is pink while pommel and guard are silver colored.
Nightmare
As a nightmare, it's mainly colored dark turquoise like most nightmares. Its rapier colored black and white on the grip and handguard, with its shield being yellow and black. Another notable difference is its feet and hands, where they are colored yellow and magenta apart from the rest of its body. The cape is also colored purple with pale-violet polka dots, its crown is colored green with magenta tones. The underbelly is also colored with a darker yellow.
Rare
Like all Rare Nightmares, its body and shield are colored glowing blue and green (along with the symbol on its rapier's handguard), its shield being black via the rim and symbol as well as the rapier handguard itself and grip (the pommel is dark magenta), and its cape being black with gray polka dots. All the other colors remain the same with its nightmare color scheme.
However, the unique thing about the rare version of the Lord Kyroo is that due to not appearing through a special portal, it somehow cannot be recorded in the journal.
Strategy
As a Nightmare
The Lord Kyroo is an enemy that appears only one time in Symphony of Sorcery. As Riku, go back from the save point in Snowgleam Wood, get on the snowflake platforms, and head right. There is a small passage and clearing. Head left down a Flowmotion rail. At the base there is a spawn point with three Sir Kyroos, and defeating them all will cause Lord Kyroo to appear. Other Nightmare Lord Kyroos can appear in regular Portals like the one in Monstro's Mouth.
As a Rare Nightmare
A Rare Nightmare, it does not appear through a special portal. Instead, Lord Kyroo can be found in several worlds in a determined sequence. It can be found in Prankster's Paradise on Promontory on Sora's side or in the Nave in La Cite de Cloches on Riku's side. If it flees during the course of the battle, it will go to the other world. After these two worlds, it can be found in Symphony of Sorcery at Snowgleam Wood. Unlike other Nightmares, it will not immediately attack Sora/Riku. Instead, they can talk to it and choose to challenge it to a battle. If they accept, the fight starts. Otherwise, it will stay there, even if Sora/Riku leave for another world.
Once the battle starts, the Lord Kyroo begins summoning many Chef Kyroos and Sir Kyroos to defend it. After seventy seconds elapse, the Lord Kyroo will retreat from battle and proceed to the next world in its rotation. It is possible to defeat it in one round with a powerful enough character. If it is not defeated at Symphony of Sorcery, it will come back to Prankster's Paradise, restarting the cycle.
It is possible to retreat from the battle into another area, allowing one to reattempt it from the beginning. If the Lord Kyroo is defeated, the battle will end if all other enemies have also been defeated.
The Lord Kyroo, much like the Sir Kyroo, will be ignited and start to panic if Fire-type commands are used against it; this allows one to easily press an assault.
Whichever character defeats it is rewarded with an HP bonus and the Lord Kyroo Recipe. If Riku defeats it, his maximum HP can exceed Sora's. If Sora defeats it, then Sora's maximum HP will tie with Riku's.
As a Spirit
As an ally in the form of a Spirit, Lord Kyroo is one of the more powerful Spirits in the game, being able to dive at opponents with Ribbit Assault, and can blow kisses at targets in the form of heart projectiles that can confuse them. It mainly focuses on Thunder magic, but it can also cast Mini and Curaga, allowing it to be a very powerful support-type party member as well.
As mentioned before, its battle patterns are more akin to Sir Kyroo, as well as having the same weakness to fire which causes it to panic while burning up. Like the other two Kyroos, Lord Kyroo can also rush to the Sora/Riku's side and block attacks for them, as well as being ready to counter said attacks.
