Taranza and Fawful were initially introduced as the right hand minions of two mad villainesses who kidnapped King Dedede and stole the voice of Princess Peach in a bid to take over the world. However, when their masters were killed off at the end of their debut games, Taranza and Fawful were subsequently given the chance to act as the main villains themselves in their subsequent appearances, albeit temporarily, since Fawful was killed off for good at the end of his stint as the villain, while Taranza ended up befriending Kirby instead. As an interesting contrast, Taranza is a purely magical fighter, whereas Fawful relies solely upon technology in order to do pretty much everything, although both are similarly capable of brainwashing other beings to fight at their whims. This dynamic did undergo a drastiic change when Fawful came into contact with the Dark Star, which not only gave him deadly magical powers to play around with, but it even ended up turning him into a dark spiderlike creature too. Taranza's interactions with the Dimension Mirror are a similar story, though in this case, it was his master Queen Sectonia that wound up undergoing a drastic transformation instead. In both cases, these evil artifacts were also able to conjure of dark copies of Bowser and Dedede to serve as the real final bosses of Bowser's Inside Story and Kirby Clash Deluxe.
