Heartless

The Heartless are a dangerous enemy that plague the ocean of worlds. Throughout his adventure, Sora discovers many different types of enemies that stand in his path, those that sought the hearts of all in order to feed the darkness.

Shadow

A Heartless that pops up in all kinds of places.

The Shadow ambles around and attacks without warning. It is completely untouchable while hiding within the darkness.

Soldier

ソルジャー

A swift-moving Heartless that attacks its prey with a spin kick.

Its whimsical nature makes the Soldier a less than tenacious foe.

Large Body

ラージボディ

The Large Body repels frontal attacks with its jiggly belly. Sometimes it throws its weight around and shakes the ground, so jumping is key.

Red Nocturne

レッドノクターン

A magic-wielding Heartless that drifts through the air. It's flighty and hard to hit.

The Red Nocturne attacks with Fire from a distance, and absorbs fire damage.

Blue Rhapsody

A magic-wielding Heartless that drifts through the air.

A magic-wielding Heartless that drifts through the air. It doesn't attack, but it can cast Cure to heal other Heartless.

The Green Requiem is slow, but is healed by basic elemental magic, making it tough to squash.

Creeper Plant

クリーププラント

It's rooted in one place, but staying far away isn't enough, since it can spit seeds and attack from below with its sharp roots.

A Heartless that flies about using its arms like propeller blades.

Whether moving or attacking, it's always spin, spin, spinning - but never seems to get dizzy.

It's a bothersome foe that can honk and call other Heartless.

A simian Heartless.

A Heartless that mainly appears in Agrabah.

A gunpowder-packed barrel transformed by the darkness into a Heartless.

スクリューダイバー

A Heartless that likes to team up with the Aquatank.

It attacks with a spear or charges its enemies.

Aquatank

アクアタンク

A fish-like Heartless that lazily wanders the sea.

Gargoyle

ガーゴイル

A winged Heartless that mainly appears in Halloween Town.

It pelts its stunned opponents with fireballs.

Pirate

パイレーツ

A Heartless that mostly sticks to Neverland.

A skilled swordsman, the Pirate can knock its enemies out cold and then finish them off with a vicious combo. If its sword flashes, watch out!

Air Pirate

A winged Heartless that mostly sticks to Neverland.

It's not armed, but it doesn't need to be. The Air Pirate deals a brutal punch right after its fist flashes.
