Remember the White Mushroom Heartless from the original Kingdom Hearts? How they only appeared with other ones when you encountered them? Well it turns out that during development there was some trouble animating the Heartless which caused it to take up much more data than expected. This meant that no other enemy could share the spotlight unless it was another White Mushroom.

One of the animations it performed was when a little light appeared above it's head, which prompted you to cast Thunder magic on it. This is actually meant to imitate a street light! See the resemblance? When the White Mushroom was being designed the team was told to make it look dark and depressed, and what's more dark and depressing then standing under a single street light on a dark road?
