'''Appearances:''' ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI I]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII II]]''

* WouldHitAGirl: More like "Would set a girl on fire" (or try to, anyway).

* WouldHitAGirl: In ''II'' he bumrushes Sally when she arrives in Santa's workshop and was prepared to attack her again before Sora's party intervened.

* PressXToNotDie:
** All of them except Jacoby, which gives him the benefit of staying in battles the longest due to having to always be beaten normally.
** Bo'sun's is where Sora dodges backwards to avoid his hatchets, and then swats him with the Keyblade.
** Twigg's is reflecting shots from his firearm.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Maleficent has gotten something of a reputation of being a pushover ever since the release of ''Kingdom Hearts II''. Little things here and there have been done to try and maintain an ominous aura around her, but none so much more brutal than her appearance in ''Union χ'' and ''Dark Road''. In the former, she beats Lauriam in single combat, and in the latter, she takes on four Keyblade Wielders in short succession and ''kills them all.''

* TheChessmaster: At least until her demise. And even with a VillainDecay inducing lack of resources in ''[=KH2=]'', she manages to events to the point that she became an asset in bringing down Organization XIII, establishing herself at the top once more. Kingdom Hearts III has her and Pete disrupting the Organization's attempts to find the Box by finding them all before the Organization can and the secret ending shows that neither of them have any intention of working ''with'' the foretellers (or, if they do, they're definitely going to screw them over at the end so that ''they'' can be on top!)

* TheChessmaster: At least until her demise.

* TheGrinch: She considers [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Christmas Town]] "ridiculous", and makes it a point to destroy it and plans to turn Santa Claus into a Heartless. Notably, this is the ''only'' time in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' where she turns up in person in a Disney world to aid the local villain. She must really hate the holiday.

* ManipulativeBitch: She played Riku like a fiddle, and even with a VillainDecay inducing lack of resources in ''[=KH2=]'', she played events to the point that she became an asset in bringing down Organization XIII, establishing herself at the top once more. Kingdom Hearts III has her and Pete disrupting the Organization's attempts to find the Box by finding them all before the Organization can and the secret ending shows that neither of them have any intention of working ''with'' the foretellers (or, if they do, they're definitely going to screw them over at the end so that ''they'' can be on top!)

* TheCameo: Appears in the opening cutscene for his world in ''Kingdom Hearts II''... only to be [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Team Rocketed]] away by Hercules.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Unlike the film's TruthInTelevision example, Banzai appears to be the one in charge here.

* EscortMission: the gimmick to their first fight is that you have to protect Timon and Pumba from their attacks while fighting them. Unlike the usual examples, protecting them by calling them over gives Sora an advantage when The Hyenas miss the three-way attack and run into each other.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Though they nearly eat Sora's party twice over and taunt them into submission, once Sora's group has gained their confidence in their animal forms and properly fight them off, the hyenas stop targeting them. When Sora returns to the Pride Lands, the hyenas confront him believing him to be prey, but immediately withdraw. When Sora confronts them later, they outright ask for him to leave them alone. This is even reflected in how the mechanics of their boss fights change; in the first one they're trying to outright kill Sora, but in their second, they serve as a collective GetBackHereBoss, not having any offensive moves and the player simply has to catch up to them and beat them into submission.

* UnwittingPawn: Shenzi theorizes that they were this to Scar when they worked for him.

** While Pete is a buffoon without a doubt, he actually is more impressive then you would think. First off he is is shown to have impressive command over a particularly large amount of Heartless. It takes a sizable amount of darkness within his heart and control over it (making him at least a tier above HarmlessVillain status) to get their attention and a strong will in order to control them. The fact that he has command over the heartless for this long without succumbing to them and becoming a Heartless himself speaks volumes. He was also able to fight off Sora and his friends twice (in both circumstances being against Hercules and his younger self) and survive to do it again another day, something some of Maleficent's more intimidating allies could not brag doing.

* ObviouslyEvil: Only [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter Terra]] and Riku don't seem to see it. Riku , for his part, does have doubts about her, but stays with her group because she does keep her word, its his own weakness thats his own downfall. In Terra's case, she's the only person awake for him to converse with, and his only lead until it's far to late and she casts her spell to control him.

** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', nobody notices how weird her revival is, but the Bradygames guide for the game states that it relates to her mastery of the powers of darkness. While a sequel was not explicitly planned during the production of the first game, a player who revisits her lair after her defeat will still find her legions of polyops. Since they returned to normal upon her death in ''The Little Mermaid'', one can posit with the benefit of hindsight that she's not actually dead.

* BreathWeapon: Cerberus can spit tracking balls of fire at Sora.

* DualBoss: With the Lava Titan in ''III'''.

* OptionalBoss: In ''Kingdom Hearts'', the Gold Match is an optional {{Superboss}}.

* UngratefulBitch:
** She zaps Pete and the Gullwings as "thanks" for saving her in the ''II'' manga.
** After Data-Sora saves her in ''Coded'', she refuses to thank him.

* VillainTeleportation: Uses it a lot during her fight against Ventus in ''Birth By Sleep''.
** An odd variation occurs in her boss fight in ''Kingdom Hearts'': she turns into a sprite to briefly zip around in an invulnerable state, but her [[FloatingPlatforms Floating Platform]] (which does not undergo any transformation or teleportation) always moves to center itself at her destination, so she only ever reconstitutes in the same spot upon it. Aesthetically it's this trope, while functionally it's just an invisibility period on an enemy glued to a moving platform that's too big too miss.

* BadassBoast: He casually drops one upon first meeting Sora and friends.
-->'''Sora:''' Who are you calling punks? It's Sora, Donald, and Goofy to you! And don't you forget it!\\
'''Barbossa:''' That we won't. And we'll engrave it on your tombstone to be sure.
