[[folder:Optional Bosses]]

----

A group of classic Disney Villains. In the first game, a group of them conspire under [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Maleficent's]] leadership. They are trying to use TheHeartless for their own evil means. After that, however, they're far more independent.

Maleficent's original group includes [[Disney/{{Hercules}} Hades,]] [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} Jafar,]] [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Ursula,]] [[Disney/PeterPan Captain Hook,]] and [[TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Oogie Boogie]]. The second game introduces [[PiratesOfTheCaribbean Captain Hector Barbossa]], [[Disney/{{Mulan}} Shan-Yu]], [[Disney/TheLionKing Scar]], and [[{{Tron}} the MCP]], who aren't aligned with Maleficent, although she attempts to recruit/manipulate a couple.
----
* EvilVersusEvil: They got into a hard competition with Organization XIII during the second game. Organization XIII was for quite a time one step ahead, but after [[spoiler:Maleficent and Pete joined forces with Sora, King Mickey, and their friends]], the Disney villains eventually became the winning side.
* LargeHam: Noted in each applicable entry, but it should be noted that the group from the original game (Maleficent, Captain Hook, Jafar, Oogie Boogie, Hades, and Ursula, plus the unaffiliated Clayton) might as well be called ''The Large Hams Band''.
* LegionOfDoom
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Villains of a Sort".
* UnwittingPawn: They believe they use the Heartless without knowing it's actually the Heartless who use them (or, to be exact, that the Heartless are only complying with them because their REAL leader instructed them to.)

* JapanesePronouns: "Ore".

!The Heartless

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kh_shadow.png]]
[[caption-width-right:250:The cutest EldritchAbomination you'll ever see.]]

-> "Anger... hatred... corruption, become power. Everything that exists, will be devoured!"
--> [[spoiler:—'''Data-Sora's Heartless''']]

The true antagonists of the story, Heartless are creatures of darkness born from the hearts within humans. They are driven only by instinct to seize hearts from other beings and destroy them, either by attacking them or manipulating them into darkness, creating more Heartless in the processs. As worlds also have hearts, this inevitably means they are drawn to worlds to destroy the world's heart and plunge it into darkness. Heartless come in two varieties -- Pureblood, formed naturally, and Emblem, formed by forced production.

According to legend, only the Keyblade wielder can stop the Heartless, able to lock the hearts of worlds from their reach, and when a Heartless is killed by a Keyblade its captive heart is freed. Thus the Heartless instinctively seek out Keyblade wielders to strike them down.

!Riku Replica
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-Riku_Replica_9780.png]]
[[caption-width-right:229:"But there is one easy way to tell us apart, though! Unlike you... I fear nothing."]]
-> [[spoiler:"So... it's over. Hmph. Death doesn't frighten me. Good riddance to a phony life. My heart was never real. I'm sure even what I'm feeling now is probably all fake."]]
-->Voiced by: MamoruMiyano (Japanese), David Gallagher (English)

Created by Vexen and used as a tool by Vexen, Marluxia, and Larxene, and ultimately Axel. [[spoiler:Once he finds out that his memories are a fake created by Naminé, he becomes determined to defeat the real Riku and become real himself. You can guess how well that ends.]]
-----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: [[spoiler:His motivation for defeating Riku.]]
* ArtificialHuman
* BecomeARealBoy: His entire motivation.
* BerserkButton: He has two -- getting anywhere near Naminé (Sora's storyline) and being called a "fake" (Reverse/Rebirth).
* BetaTestBaddie
* ChekhovsGunman: After finishing ''Chain of Memories'', [[spoiler:he dies and is literally forgotten until ''358/2 Days'' came out, and it turns out Xion is a Replica just like him.]]
* CloningBlues
* CoolSword: His copy of the [[EvilWeapon Soul Eater]].
* FakeMemories
* FanNickname: Repliku.
** Which is actually his name in the German version. Go figure.
* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile]]
* GreenEyes
* HeelFaceTurn: At least during Sora's storyline.
* HotBlooded: Maybe [[{{Flanderization}} even moreso]] than Riku in ''KH'', and that's saying something.
* IWillProtectHer: To Naminé.
* JapanesePronouns: "Ore".
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: More like pushed off by Axel.
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: In a series where several recurring characters suffer from losing their hearts, which WordOfGod states is different from death since they can regain their hearts, the Replica is one of the few characters confirmed to be dead.]]
* NoPlaceForMeThere: After Marluxia is defeated he essentially says this to Sora.
* [[spoiler:ObiWanMoment: See his quote above.]]
* [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Only Known As His Origin]]
* TheRival
* ShadowArchetype: To Riku.
* [[spoiler:SparedByTheAdaptation: In the manga.]]
* TalkingToHimself: Quite literally happens any time he and the real Riku face each other.
* TeleportSpam: If you hated Riku's [[LimitBreak Dark Aura]] back in the first game, you will ''loathe'' this guy.
* TragicVillain
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Duh.
* {{Yandere}}: For Naminé. The scary thing is that the Organization's plan basically amounted to Sora becoming just as crazy as him concerning protecting Naminé.

!Anti Black Coat
[[quoteright:139:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Anti_Black_Coat_3D_5842.png]]
A mysterious entity shrouded in a black longcoat, it is [[spoiler:a Nightmare spawned from the darkness in Sora's heart, and is the one trapping him Sora in a nightmare]] in ''Dream Drop Distance''. It wears a black coat but has magenta patterns on the edges and never shows its face.

* BeamSpam
* BlackCloak
* CastingAShadow
* DualWielding
* EnemyWithout: [[spoiler:Manifests from within Sora and is a Nightmare type Dream Eater]].
* EvilCounterpart: To [[spoiler:Riku, the counterpart Spirit that has been protecting Sora during the exam]].
* TheFaceless: Except for the eyes, nothing is seen of the face at all.
* GlowingEyes: The only visible facial feature, setting it apart from many other BlackCloak and InTheHood figures in Franchise/KingdomHearts.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: Black, purple, ''and'' red? This thing screams evil.
* HPToOne: The LifeDrain attack mentioned below inflicts this on you. [[TurnsRed Then he gets mad]] and starts zooming in for a sword combo before you can heal...
* InTheHood
* LaserBlade: Like Xemnas and the Unknown it wields two, but its are purple and black.
* LifeDrain: Can drain Riku's HP into health orbs it absorbs for itself.
* NoCureForEvil: Averted hard.

* NothingIsScarier: A hood obscuring everything but a {{Mook}}-like pair of eyes is rather creepy.
* PowerFloats
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Many of its attacks are red and black.
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* SigilSpam: A Nightmare emblem appears on its back when it notices the Spirit on on Riku's clothing, and the emblem appears in several of its attacks.
* SwordBeam
* TeleportSpam
* ThemeSongReveal: Averted. [[spoiler:Its battle theme takes cues from "Hunter of the Dark", the battle theme for the giant red-eyed Heartless Aqua foughts in the Realm of Darkness, but they have no connection.]]
* TheVoiceless

!The Hostile Program
A virus program created by the MCP and released by Sark to cause chaos in both Radiant Gardens and Space Paranoids to deal with Sora and tron.

* AIIsACrapshoot
* DidntNeedThoseAnyway: Its armor.
* FoeTossingCharge
* FrickinLaserBeams: Sweeps the area with these.
* GetBackHereBoss: spends alot of the battle moving to different points in the area, firing lasers.
* GameBreakingBug: On early PS3 consoles, the Hostile Program could get a glitch where it would be invincible, this has been fixed via updates.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: and odd variation, when the Program is hit, it drops cluster orbs, which don't defeat it, but can be used to cripple its movement and make it easier to hit. The Program does this through no fault of its own, so it isn't a TacticalSuicideBoss.
* NoNameGiven
* RaymanianLimbs
* ShoutOut: probably unintentional, but the main part of its torso looks like an upside-down Death Star when the armor comes off.

!The Experiment
A mechanical creature intended to be a playmate for Lock, Shock, and Barrel. It was created by Dr. Finklestien like Sally, but lacked a Heart like she had. To fill this void it steals Christmas presents, believing that the joy from a gift from ones heart will help this problem.

[[quoteright:235:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Vanitas.png]]
[[caption-width-right:235:"Oh grow up. Is that what you call friendship? You'll never learn the truth unless you go out and look for it yourself. Come on, what could you possibly know when you're stuck here, looking at nothing but what's in your tiny world?"]]
->"This χ-blade will open a door -- one that leads to all worlds! Then, Keyblade-bearing warriors will flock here from each and every one of them, to battle for the light within Kingdom Hearts! And just like the legend says, the Keyblade War will begin!"
-->Voiced by: [[spoiler:MiyuIrino (Japanese), Haley Joel Osment (English)]]

The mysterious masked apprentice of Master Xehanort. To keep up the parallels, his outfit is nearly identical to "Dark Mode" Riku and he frequently antagonizes Ven. [[spoiler:He's actually an artificial being created from the darkness in Ven's heart]].
-----
* AnimeHair: [[spoiler:Exactly as ridiculous as Sora's. Just black.]]
* [[spoiler:ArtificialHuman]]
* AxCrazy, [[TropesAreFlexible except with a Keyblade]].
* [[spoiler:BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: With Ventus.]]
* BilingualBonus[=/=]MultipleReferencePun: "Ventus" (Latin for "wind") and "Vanitas" ("emptiness") sound similar, and both can be defined with the kanji 空, which means both [[spoiler:"sky"]] and "emptiness".
** And could also, due to one of those meanings, be read as [[spoiler:"Sora"]].
* [[spoiler:TheCameo]]: [[spoiler: Shows up with Young Xehanort in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'', confronting Sora in one cutscene, and nowhere else in said game. TetsuyaNomura [[WordOfGod says]] that this is meant to be a representation of Ventus' heart reacting to Xehanort's darkness.]]
* CollapsibleHelmet
* BlackKnight
* CombatTropes
** BlackMagic[=/=]CastingAShadow
** CombatPragmatist: His crowning moment of this is very well demonstrated in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yafvTV4gCW4 this video]]. Please note how he didn't [[CallingYourAttacks yell]], [[WithCatlikeTread or otherwise warn]] his victim of his imminent pwnage of them while they [[InTheBack weren't looking]], at all. Also note that [[WouldHitAGirl it was a girl]]. There wasn't even a PreAsskickingOneLiner. Just him, [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome coming out of nowhere]].
** {{BFS}}: The [[spoiler:χ-Blade]].
** FlashStep
** FireIceLightning
** LightningBruiser
** SwordBeam
* CompressedHair: I mean, seriously.
* CoolHelmet
* TheDragon: To Master Xehanort during Birth By Sleep.
** DragonWithAnAgenda: Early on he's not pleased with Ven's progress and tries to kill him when he decides Ven is useless for their schemes. It's also hinted he was supposed to kill Aqua in the Radiant Garden, but she proved stronger than they expected so he let her live in case they needed a back-up if Ven turned out to be a bust.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* EnemyWithout
* EvilCounterpart: To Ventus.
* [[spoiler:EvilTwin: To Ventus, and to Sora, kind of.]]
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: ZigZagged. Vanitas can use both ice and fire-based attacks.

* EyesOfGold[=/=]RedEyesTakeWarning: Although he has gold eyes in all of his appearances, accoridng to an interview from Nomura, Vanitas resembled a heartless-like creature with red eyes [[spoiler:before Ven joined his heart to Sora's to give Vanitas Sora's general appearance.]]
** Considering [[spoiler:the other characters with gold eyes are either partially possessed by Xehanort or Xehanort himself it's possible Xehanort partially possessed him to ensure Vanitas loyalty to him.]]
* {{Expy}}: Well let's see, his outfit is similar to Riku's Dark Mode, he takes the same battle stance as Riku, and he even dons Riku's iconic pose in the opening cinematic (with Ventus running towards him just like Sora no less).
** [[spoiler:Yet it's Sora he has a connection to, through Ven, and he looks like Sora with black hair and gold eyes and an epic SlasherSmile. He even has Sora's ''[[MiyuIrino voice]]''.]]
** In Japan, he is thought to be an {{Expy}} of Jagi from FistOfTheNorthStar.
* TheFaceless
* FauxAffablyEvil: Like hell.
* ForTheEvulz: It's indicated that he doesn't really have or need a reason to restart the keyblade war; he's just excited by the idea of a universal conflict, especially now that he's the guy with an InfinityPlusOneSword.
** [[spoiler:An alternate reason, canon to the novels, is that he wanted to rejoin with Ventus, thus not being all alone any more. However, this isn't exactly reflected in his actions; early in the story, he was perfectly willing to annihilate Ventus for being too weak, and considered Aqua a decent backup plan for forging the χ-Blade.]]
* GoodEyesEvilEyes: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] He has eyes as large as Ven's [[spoiler:because he's a Sora look alike]].
* [[spoiler:GrandTheftMe]]: Not nearly as successful as [[spoiler:Xehanort]], though, but manages to possess [[spoiler:Ventus]].
* HopelessBossFight: His first encounter with Ven.
* HumanoidAbomination: Turns out he's [[spoiler:the source of all Unversed]].
* INeedYouStronger: He's always going around telling people whom he fights to get stronger, and to show him their power...

* KickTheDog: Breaking Ven's toy Keyblade that Terra gave him in front of Aqua.
* LargeHam: Hoo boy, it seems ChikaoOhtsuka[[hottip:*:Master Xehanort's seiyuu.]], [[spoiler:MiyuIrino[[hottip:*:Vanitas's seiyuu. Same as Sora's.]]]], and [[spoiler:AkioOhtsuka[[hottip:*:Xehanort's seiyuu.]]]] decided to have a contest to see who can ham it up more. Ditto for their English counterparts. You can definitely tell [[spoiler:Haley]] was enjoying himself on this one.
* LaughingMad: In Japanese ''and'' English. Not all the time, granted, but he does have his moments, such as after his battle with Aqua in Neverland.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: He is [[spoiler:the personification of the darkness that Master Xehanort ripped out of Ventus's heart]].
* MadeOfEvil: He's quite literally made from [[spoiler:Ven's darkness]].
* MeaningfulName: His name is derived from the Latin word for ''emptiness'', indicating his state of existence. Also, it sounds similar to Ventus, hinting at a connection between the two.
** It's also similar to "vanity", reflecting his smug, self-absorbed nature. And, as mentioned above, the Japanese character for emptiness can also mean sky, [[spoiler:hinting at his connection to Sora]].
* NotSoDifferent: Before the final battle with Ventus, Ven declares [[spoiler:he's willing to risk losing his heart forever by destroying the χ-Blade and saving Terra and Aqua. In his DesperationAttack, Vanitas shatters the station they're on. Keep in mind the platforms in the Dive to the Heart are implied to be reflections of the heart, indicated here by Vanitas appearing opposite Ventus on it -- in other words, Vanitas is willing to take the same risk as Ven]].

* OmnicidalManiac: Heavily implied to be this by the novels and the game, but never outright stated. By the end of his backstory in the novels, he wants to make everyone, in every world suffer. In the game, he gets really excited by the prospect of the Keyblade War, and the legends about it's catastrophic, universe-ending consequences.
* PragmaticVillainy: He'd ''like'' to just kill his enemies straight-off, but he's smart enough to know that this won't get him anywhere and bides his time accordingly.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler: Is the source of the Unversed, who inhabit and terrorize the entire World.]]
* PsychoStrings: During one or two notes at the beginning of his theme, "Enter the Darkness".
* PureIsNotGood: [[spoiler:He's made of pure darkness. This seems to be the root of the Unversed.]]
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver
* RedHerring: At first glance, he has a lot of similarities to Riku, wearing an outfit similar to his Dark Mode ans using the same battle stance. [[spoiler:But then the mask came off.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Master Xehanort's blue.
* SlasherSmile
* TheSociopath
* TheStarscream: It's hinted he planned to take the power of Kingdom Hearts for himself once he got the χ-Blade.
* ThemeSongReveal: His battle themes borrow from [[spoiler:Sora]]'s {{leitmotif}}.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Is portrayed as such in [[http://remember-kingdom-hearts.tumblr.com/post/28798364782/bonus-translation-of-the-novel-chapter-dark-memory the]] [[http://remember-kingdom-hearts.tumblr.com/post/28870649241/bonus-translation-of-the-novel-chapter-contrast novelization]], in stark contrast to his unrepentent CompleteMonster status in the actual game. [[spoiler:He's unable to control his ability to spawn Unversed, which are created autonomously every time he feels a strong emotion, and he hates them as a sign of his lack of control and a reminder of the true nature of his existence. Furthermore Master Xehanort forced him to train by fighting the Unversed, and Vanitas felt the emotions and physical pain they did upon being killed every time, which in turn fueled his dark emotions more and spawned stronger Unversed. And while all this TrainingFromHell was going on, he was still connected to Ven and felt all the friendship and happiness Ven was experiencing training under Eraqus]].
* WouldHitAGirl: More like [[spoiler:Would Stab A Girl]].
** [[spoiler:[[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown Stab Them While They Are Down]]]]

![[spoiler:Sora's]] Heartless
[[quoteright:258:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Soras_Heartless_6788.png]]
[[caption-width-right:258:"RAGE... HATRED... GLITCHES TO FEED MY DARKNESS... AND SOON, HEARTS TO SATE MY HUNGER!"]]

-> "LONG HAVE THE FALLEN WANDERED. NOW THEY SHALL SERVE THE WILL OF DARKNESS"

Originally, when [[spoiler:Sora sacrificed his Heart in the first Kingdom Hearts, he was able to retain his sense of self even when turned into a Heartless]]. However, the digital recording in Jiminy's Journal gained sentience and began corrupting the journal with bug blocks, hoping to break through to the real world.
-----
* BigBad: Of ''coded''.
** ArcVillain: For ''coded''.
* BishonenLine: Transforms into [[spoiler:Anti-Sora, complete with Keyblade]], after being defeated as a Darkside.
* BoldInflation: As one can tell by his all caps quotes.
* CombatTropes
** DoppelgangerAttack
** LightEmUp: Surprisingly, instead of [[CastingAShadow Dark]] attacks, it fights almost exclusively with Light attacks.
** MegatonPunch
** PillarOfLight: One of its attacks heavily resembles [[spoiler:Roxas's Magic Hour]].
** PlayingWithFire[=/=]AnIcePerson: In its first form, he casts Debug Blizzard with his left hand and Debug Fire with his right.
** SpinAttack
** StormOfBlades: Launches light [[spoiler:Keyblades]] at you and calls on a barrage of them for its Desperation Attack.
** SwordBeam
* TheCorruption
* DoppelgangerAttack
* EldritchAbomination
* EvilCounterpart: To [[spoiler:Sora]]. [[spoiler:Data-Riku even comments that as Sora got stronger killing Heartless, their data was absorbed by his Heartless so it could grow stronger too]].
* EyesOfGold
* FlatCharacter: Those two lines of dialogue at the top of his profile and under his picture? They're about all he says the entire game, and you don't even confront him until the final battle. Justified, as [[spoiler:he's really just a Shadow Heartless pumped full of power, and by nature Heartless are driven by instinct and lack higher intelligence]].
* FromNobodyToNightmare
* GlowingEyesOfDoom
** EyesOfGold
* LightIsNotGood
* LivingShadow
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: No one ever thought about the fact that when the data Heartless are killed, they don't fade into hearts like real Heartless, and thus never thought about what happened to that destroyed data. [[spoiler:Turns out this guy Heartless was absorbing it to grow stronger and stronger]].
* NotSoHarmless: In the first game, it was just a little [[{{Mook}} shadow.]] It takes quite a few [[TookALevelInBadass levels in badass]] in Coded.
* [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Only Known By His Origin]]
* ThisWasHisTrueForm: He is only defeated when [[spoiler:Mickey separates him from the power he got from corrupting the journal and reduces him back to the form of a lowly Shadow.]]
* TookALevelInBadass [[TookALevelInJerkass and Jerkass]]
* TronLines
* TheVirus
* YouWillBeAssimilated

[[folder:Disney Villains]]

A group of classic Disney Villains. In the first game, a group of them conspire under [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Maleficent's]] leadership. They are trying to use TheHeartless for their own evil means. After that, however, they're far more independent.

Maleficent's original group includes [[Disney/{{Hercules}} Hades,]] [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} Jafar,]] [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Ursula,]] [[Disney/PeterPan Captain Hook,]] and [[TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Oogie Boogie]]. The second game introduces [[PiratesOfTheCaribbean Captain Hector Barbossa]], [[Disney/{{Mulan}} Shan-Yu]], [[Disney/TheLionKing Scar]], and [[{{Tron}} the MCP]], who aren't aligned with Maleficent, although she attempts to recruit/manipulate a couple.

* EvilVersusEvil: They got into a hard competition with Organization XIII during the second game. Organization XIII was for quite a time one step ahead, but after [[spoiler:Maleficent and Pete joined forces with Sora, King Mickey, and their friends]], the Disney villains eventually became the winning side.
* LargeHam: Noted in each applicable entry, but it should be noted that the group from the original game (Maleficent, Captain Hook, Jafar, Oogie Boogie, Hades, and Ursula, plus the unaffiliated Clayton) might as well be called ''The Large Hams Band''.
* LegionOfDoom
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Villains of a Sort".
* UnwittingPawn: They believe they use the Heartless without knowing it's actually the Heartless who use them (or, to be exact, that the Heartless are only complying with them because their REAL leader instructed them to.)

[[caption-width-right:200: "We are cursed men, Miss Turner."]]
-> "You best start believin' in ghost stories, Miss Turner. For, ya see, tonight -- you're in one!"
-->Voiced by: Haruhiko Jo (Japanese), Brian George (English), GeoffreyRush (English - Australian release)

Captain of the Black Pearl and leader of the undead pirates. The medallions' curse keeps Captain Barbossa and his men in a kind of limbo between life and death. Their true form is revealed in the moonlight, and it's a terrifying sight to see.

* AffablyEvil
* EvilLaugh

* LargeHam
* MasterSwordsman
* NiceHat
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: The first of two live action disney villains to make it into Kingdom Hearts. Like all of Port Royal, he is rendered realistically proportioned and looks like a real person, in contrast to the cartoony looks of Sora, Donald, and Goofy.
* TheOtherDarrin: Played straight and averted. Barbossa was voiced by Brian George for the initial English release of the game, but was replaced with GeoffreyRush (his original actor) for the Australian release.
* {{Pirate}}: How did you miss ''this one''?
** GhostPirate: DemBones included.
** TalkLikeAPirate
* SneakAttack: He fights alongside an Illuminator heartless which makes the area pitch black, allowing Barbossa to attack from the dark.
* SteppingStoneSword: Sora can step on Barbossa's blade as a reaction command then show him that against him GunsAreWorthless.
* SwordAndGun

![[{{Fantasia}} Chernabog]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/350px-Chernabog_KH_9384.png]]
Chernabog is a gigantic, muscular, humanoid demon. His skin is entirely colored black, and he is so large that Sora is roughly the size of his head. His head sports two curved horns, he has four fangs in his mouth, and his eyes are a glowing yellow. He has enormous, black, bat-like wings, and his wingspan is larger than he is tall. Chernabog is always seen trapped from the knees-down in a volcano.

* [[spoiler:AnimateDead]]: [[spoiler:Sends ghosts and souls of the dead after Riku to weaken him in Dream Drop Distance.]]
* BreathWeapon
* DemonLordsAndArchDevils
* EvilOverlord
* EyesOfGold
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: In ''Kingdom Hearts''. His appearance makes more sense in ''3D''.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom
* OnlyOneName
* PlayingWithFire
* {{Satan}}
* StationaryBoss
* VillainSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: Night On Bald Mountain. Notable for being the only Disney boss to get his own theme in the series. He did not have it in the Japanese version of ''Kingdom Hearts'' though. [[spoiler:But, he does have it in Dream Drop Distance.]]
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Chernabog was to be the original FinalBoss and embodiment of all darkness of the first game, the endgame originally being a climb up the slopes of Bald Mountain to fight him, with the light inside Kingdom Hearts taking the place of the dawn. ExecutiveMeddling and console limitations put a kibosh in the plan, but the model was kept around to be used as the surprise boss.

-->Voiced by: Shozo Sasaki (Japanese), CoreyBurton (English)
A ruthless and self-righteous justice minister who is Quasimodo's reluctant guardian, seeing the evil he commits to be for the greater good.
----
* AbusiveParent: Or at least an abusive version of TheCaretaker for Quasimodo.
* CoolSword: Brandishes one in cutscenes but is unfortunately TheUnfought.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Falls off Notre Dame into the fire below while LaughingMad in Riku's scenario but gets the implied smiting by God himself that he did in the movie in Sora's.
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide
* EvilOldFolks
* FamousLastWords: "Now you will be judged, just like the rest!" in Riku's story
* HangingJudge
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In Riku's story, he prepares to fight Riku himself, and summons the Wargoyle, which flies overhead and causes vibrations, making Frollo lose his footing on the guard-rail and fall.
** However due to him not visibly trying to keep his balance, and him LaughingMad as he fell, it may have been intentional
* IfICantHaveYou

* KnightTemplar
* LaughingMad: Read above.
* ManipulativeBastard
* NonHumanSidekick: The Wargoyle, which replaces Captain Phoebus as his {{Dragon}}.
* NotQuiteDead: ''[[OhCrap Yeah...]]'', even after all the effort put in to stop him, that only happened in "that world's dream" meaning that [[FridgeHorror he is still alive and well, doing what he does in the real Cite de las Cloches.]]
** However, the worlds tend to dream of past events, so it may well be that his death already happened, shortly before the world fell to darkness.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain
* SinisterMinister: Although he seems more intent on law (or his interpretation of it) than religion.
* SummonMagic: The darkness in his heart allows him to call Dream Eaters which he believes is a divine power granted by God.
* TheOtherDarrin: Had to be done, as Tony Jay passed away by the time the game was announced, much less being edited for American audiences.

A veteran hunter. He acts as Jane's guide on her expedition to the jungle. He thinks of animals only as prey, and dreams of the money to be made selling gorillas to zoos back at home.

* BadassMustache
* DualBoss: He fights side by side with a Stealth Sneak Heartless in his battle which proves to be his undoing as it crushes him when it dies.
** HorseOfADifferentColor
* EgomaniacHunter: Even moreso than in the movie, where his plan was to capture and sell the animals -- here, [[ForTheEvulz he just wants to kill them]].

* LargeHam: Just look at who voices him.
* NoCureForEvil: Averted, he uses {{Healing Potion}}s to heal himself if you leave him alone too long.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter

CLU is a program created by Kevin Flynn in his likeness to oversee the development of the Grid. However, following his programming to create a "perfect system", CLU betrayed Flynn and took the Grid under his undisputed control, while also issuing the complete annihilation of the [=ISOs=], leaving Quorra as the sole survivor.

* AIIsACrapshoot: Subverted like in the film. CLU is still following his programming to try to create the perfect system. The problem is that Kevin made him when he was more naïve, and before he discovered the [=ISOs=], so CLU's plan is equally naïve. Therefore, it isn't CLU who changed; it's Kevin.
* AntiMutiny: See above.
* ArchEnemy: To Kevin Flynn.
* ArtificialHuman
* BadassBoast: "I created the perfect system! And now, you see [[TheUsualAdversaries the applications at my disposal]]!"
* BeardOfEvil: Which, ironically, is also Kevin Flynn's former BadassBeard from when he was at the age when he created CLU.
* BlueEyes
* TheCorrupter: Corrupted The Grid and also [[spoiler:turned TRON into Rinzler]]. Not to mention the entire process of [[BrainwashedAndCrazy rectification]].
* CreativeSterility: Why he has to [[{{Brainwashed}} rectify]] programs instead of make new ones, and can't really think outside of his predefined mindset originally created by Kevin. Basics are unable to think outside of those parameters, unlike "Users" or [=ISOs=], and, unlike Users, cannot create, only repurpose what is already there.
* DeadlyDisc: Wields one, like everyone else in The Grid.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Subverted. He tries to jump a gap, and it looks like he will fall. However, he manages to make the jump, only to get offed a minute later.
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: As shown by his obsession with the Commantis Dream Eater.
* EnemyWithout: To Kevin Flynn.
* EvilOverlord: He rules the entire Grid with an iron fist.
* EvilTwin: Of Kevin Flynn, especially when he was younger.
* FantasticRacism: Hates the [=ISOs=] for being imperfect and unpredictable.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Though it drops completely when he hits his VillainousBreakdown.
* FunWithAcronyms: His name isn't "Clu", it's "CLU", which stands for "Codified Likeness Utility". It's unknown if, like in the original film, this is the second version of it.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Kevin built him as help to create the "perfect system" around the time of the inception of the TRON system itself. The only good thing that can be said about the result is that [[{{Dystopia}} it did work.]]
* JapanesePronouns: "Watashi"
* KarmaHoudini: He manages to avoid defeat in Sora's story, making the BittersweetEnding sadder. However, it's likely that he still met the same defeat he does in the film in that case, just without Sora's involvement.
* KnightTemplar: He will do anything to create the "perfect system".

* LatexSpaceSuit
* LittleNo: After Kevin tricks him into taking the wrong disc.
* MoralSociopathy
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: Complete with his Black Guards and Sentries PuttingOnTheReich.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Along with Barbossa, he is one of the only two live-action villains to be featured in the series.
* NotQuiteDead: Same situation as Frollo, he was not defeated in the real version of The Grid, so he could be back in later installments.
* OnlyOneName: Unless his acronym name could be counted as three, he's like most programs in this respect.
* ThePerfectionist
* PermaStubble: Even moreso than many other examples, since, as a program, his avatar is unchanging.
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Due to the static nature of the Grid since Kevin's exile, CLU and all other remaining programs there are at least approximately one thousand cycles old, with "cycle" meaning "Grid-year".
* RingsOfDeath
* SadisticChoice: He foists one of these on Sora: the Keyblade in exchange for turning Rinzler back into Tron.
* TronLines
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Betrayed Kevin Flynn and took over The Grid.
* TheUnfought: Justified if one takes into account the source material. CLU can NoSell a direct disc hit, and even the game implies that only Kevin in the Grid or Sam out in the outside world could defeat him. Therefore, it's highly probable that neither Sora nor Riku would be even able to scratch him.
* VillainousBreakdown: After being lectured by Kevin Flynn, and even more after learning of the disc swap that caused his defeat.
* VillainousBSOD: After Riku defeats the Commantis.
* VisionaryVillain: He wants to create the perfect system.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He wants to bring the world to its maximum potential. Unfortunately, that means killing everything that's imperfect.

* VainSorceress
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She's last seen giving Snow White the poisoned apple. After that, the Magic Mirror simply states that she is "gone."

* AxeCrazy: Due to his programming.
* IcyBlueEyes

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After Terra defeats him, he reverts back to pod form and is not mentioned again.

A very large captain in the Galactic Federation's army. He takes his responsibilities seriously, but his hotheaded attitude results in frequent failures.

* FantasticRacism: Toward Stitch.
* HeroAntagonist: Though he does seem to become progressively less reasonable and heroic over the course of the Deep Space story.
* GoodOldFisticuffs

* IAmBigBoned: When he comes to get the prisoners, Stitch makes a remark in his gibberish language, prompting Gantu to yell "I'M JUST BIG-BONED!".

-->Voiced by: Kyusaku Shimada (Japanese), James Woods (English)
Hot-headed literally and emotionally, he will stop at nothing to see the end of Hercules. He rules the Underworld where he controls monsters and oversees souls of the dead.

* BatmanGambit: How he used Sora's concern for Meg in order to fool him to open the Underworld Tournament Cups.
* TheBerserker: During combat or if someone pisses him off.
** In ''Chain of Memories'', his enemy card effect is even called Berserk.
* BoisterousBruiser: "Oh, yeah. This is gonna be good".
* TheChessmaster: Even has a chessboard in his place, with Hercules, Zeus, Cerberus, and himself as pawns.
* In the Manga he also has pawns of the Hydra, and Megara
* DeadpanSnarker
* FairPlayVillain: Played with -- he mostly pits Hercules against opponents in straight-up fights, but he's not above bending the rules of the Coliseum, and by the end of ''II'' when his VillainousBreakdown hits, he declares outright "I'm done playing by the rules / Now we're gonna play by ''my'' rules!"
* FauxAffablyEvil
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: When he meets Aqua for the first time he calls her "bluejay" walks up close to her leans in and examines her. if you notice his eyes move down from her face, then to her chest, and then back to her face.
* [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Girlfriend]]: Megara. "Now, we're gonna play by ''my'' rules."
* JapanesePronouns: "Ore".
* KarmaHoudini: Even when put through similar events to the Hercules movie, Hades escapes the Well of Souls ''immediately''. A combination of PunchclockVillain and AsLongAsThereIsEvil; he never ''quite'' goes over the MoralEventHorizon.
* LargeHam
* LaughablyEvil
* ManipulativeBastard
* OffhandBackhand: Does this to Sora in ''II''. And it's more like an Offhand ''flick''.
* OnlyOneName: Although this is less because of Disney not making a surname for him, and more because of ClassicalMythology.
* PhysicalGod
* PlayingWithFire: What did you expect?
** FireBalls
* ThisCannotBe[=/=]PunctuatedForEmphasis: His defeat quote. "This. Isn't. Happening!" You'd think he'd stop saying it when you ''keep'' defeating him.
* SixthRangerTraitor: He gradually pretty much abandons the rest of the villains. Surely enough, he's the only one not to need to be [[BackFromTheDead revived]][=/=][[SealedEvilInACan released]] come ''II'', and does his own thing in Olympus to no ill reprecussions, though he does still respect Maleficent a ''little'', as he accepts assistance from Pete on her behalf.
* VillainousBreakdown: He usually calms down fairly quickly, but in his final showdown against Sora & co, he had a completely epic one before trying to fry them alive.
** ''"What is so funny you imbeciles?! How dare you get a happy ending?!'' '''HOW DARE YOU?!!"'''

Captain Hook is the leader of the pirates who sail the waters of Neverland, and Peter Pan's arch nemesis.

* BadassNormal: He has no supernatural powers, darkness or otherwise, and uses only his sword and bombs to fight. He's still one of the highest ranking villains in Maleficent's crew, and his boss fights are usually among the tougher ones.
* BlingOfWar: He wears an expensive red pirate coat with a big hat to fit his captain status.
* CoolBoat: In the first game Riku hitches a ride on it to cross into other worlds.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Yes he's a bumbling, cowardly fool who can't even beat a kid, but when pushed enough...[[ThatOneBoss oh boy]], he sure knows how to slit people apart with that sword and hook.

* JapanesePronouns: "Ore".

* LastNameBasis: Everyone calls him "Captain Hook" or "Hook". His given name (James) isn't even well known by most audiences.
* MasterSwordsman
* ManipulativeBastard
* NotSoHarmless: Just because he wimps out when the Croc visits, it doesn't mean he can't fight with a sword.
* TheOtherDarrin: In the Japanese version of the first game, he was voiced by ChikaoOhtsuka. In ''Birth by Sleep'' he was voiced by NaoyaUchida.
* {{Pirate}}
** TalkLikeAPirate
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Disguised as presents just like in the movie.

* AnIcePerson: Has an ice spell.
* AndIMustScream: Imprisoned in a lamp for a year between ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
* AnimalMotifs: Cobras.
* BeardOfEvil
* DirtyCoward: He was portrayed as this in the manga. While something of a second-in-command for Maleficent during the games, the manga makes him nothing more than a snivelling, bootlicking wimp who's just waiting for his chance to stab Maleficent in the back. The manga version of Maleficent is aware of his cowardly nature, and only keeps him around because of his knowledge of Agrabah.
* TheDragon: Replaced with Hook and Riku after his defeat in the initial ''Kingdom Hearts'', to Maleficent's BigBad. He, too, is eventually replaced after his defeat and imprisonment.
* EvilChancellor: Initially Royal Vizier of Agrabah.

* JackassGenie: In the sequel.
* JapanesePronouns: "Washi"
* LargeHam
* LeanAndMean
* MagicStaff: His signature Cobra headed staff.
* MythologyGag: Most battles with his genie form have him floating over a pit of lava attacking you while you have to attack and destroy his lamp that Iago is flying around with to keep it away from you. This is a direct reversal of the climax of ''Return of Jafar'', where Jafar trapped the heroes in a lava pit and Iago performed a HeelFaceTurn to try and get the lamp to them so they could destroy it.
* PlayingWithFire: As a genie.
* OneWingedAngel: Turns into a red genie in the end of ''Kingdom Hearts''' stay in Agrabah, and keeps it for ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
* ScaledUp: Averted - he never uses his cobra transformation from the movie.

!Ice Titan
One of the Titans from ''Hercules'', fought in the Coliseum.

* AnIcePerson: Duh.
* BeamSpam: It fires icicle shards as its main attack, and fires a ''lot'' of them.
* BreathWeapon: Which can turn you into a HumanPopsicle.
* BonusBoss
* DemBones
* {{Expy}}: Hades employs the "Ice Colossus", a weaker clone of the Ice Titan, in ''Birth By Sleep'' (the genuine article is still under lock and key at that point).
* LevelGrinding: A famous use for it, as each time you deflect an icicle you get 24 exp. You're likely to get more exp from the icicles than you do for killing the Ice Titan itself.
* [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Only Known By Its Title]]: Its name, Hydros, is never mentioned in any of the games.
* SleepModeSize: After Sora beats it, it loses so much mass it has to run away before he steps on it.
* TennisBoss: Ice Titan is out of range of Sora's normal attacks, so you have to deflect its icicles at its head to knock it down.
* TheVoiceless

* TheUnexpected: Unlike some of the other reveals and characters in ''3D'', virtually nobody expected to see Julius, least of all as the secret boss.

A self-proclaimed "evil genius," he is arrested for illegal genetic experimentation and now serves time in a cell within the Turo Prison Block.
----
* AdmiringTheAbomination: More specifically, admiring himself for creating experiments, and then admiring the destructive power they have.
* AFatherToHisMen: After Sparky is beaten, Jumba grabs his Dehydrated experiment and comforts it.
* CardCarryingVillain: He calls ''himself'' an EvilGenius.
* EvilGenius
* ForTheEvulz
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: While not ''quite'' as pathetic as Pete, he's still arguably the least evil and menacing of the Disney villains thus far. The fact that he ends up pulling a HeelFaceTurn in [[LiloAndStitch his original continuity]] may have something to do with this.

* LaughablyEvil
* MadScientist
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Though to be fair, we don't know the specifications for earning a doctorate on whatever planet he comes from.

-->Voiced by: Tamio Oki (Japanese), CoreyBurton (English)
A spirit who appears within the magic mirror at the queen's behest and answers all questions with the truth.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: When not driven insane by one method or another, the Mirror seems personable enough, if cryptic. In fact, both of the battles (with Terra and with Aqua) seem to be due to it being corrupted by outside forces.
* BreathWeapon[=/=]PlayingWithFire: Inside the mirror.
* DoppelgangerSpin: The trick is to spot the one that's [[spoiler:smiling]].
* GracefulLoser: His only reaction to defeat is a rather bored "How unfortunate."

* AIIsACrapshoot
* BossBanter: He doesn't attack on his own (he kinda can't), so rather than fight, he taunts you during the battle. And he never. Shuts. ''Up''!
-->"Insignificant user!"
-->"Is that the best a user can do?"
-->"I can repair that data..."
-->"Eliminate all threats!"
** Half of that is true, he DOES never shut up, but he does attack with the sheilds that protect him and by electrifying them, slamming them down, and shooting FricknLaserBeams out of them.
* JapanesePronouns: "Watashi"
* PivotalBoss
* TalkingToHimself: The MCP and Sark are both voiced by Corey Burton.
* VillainOverride: Does this to [[TheDragon Sark]] in the final battle, giving many of his functions to him.

An evil bag of bugs who loves gambling with dice and dreams of causing trouble for Jack in Halloween Town. In ''Kingdom Hearts'' he steals a heart that Jack and Finklestien create to control the Heartless, but [[spoiler:uses their power too much and succumbs to the darkness]]. In ''Chain of Memories'' he does the same thing as last time except it's a memory potion. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', he is resurrected by Maleficent so they can turn Santa Claus into a heartless.
----
* BackFromTheDead: Maleficent brings him back; he's an UngratefulBastard.
* BondVillainStupidity: He always uses traps in his attempts to kill Sora, Jack, Donald, and Goofy, since he doesn't quite have the guts to take care of them directly. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that he's a pretty bad fighter in close combat.
* TheBrute
* DirtyCoward
* EvilLaugh
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Unlike most of the other villains in the series, Oogies deaths are rather graphic when you think about it. His insides are essentially coming out while his skin is coming undone and he is yelling in agony.

* ForTheEvulz
* TheGambler: But he sucks at gambling.
* TheOtherDarrin: Thankfully averted as Ken Page still does Oogies voice, and sounds like he's still having fun with it.

* NoCureForEvil: Averted, by rolling a certain number with his dice he can activate a machine that he uses to heal himself, this is also true for his boss fight in ''Chain of Memories''.
* OneWingedAngel: when he merges with his manor.
* PuzzleBoss
* ScaryBlackMan: His voice actor, anyway.
* UngratefulBastard: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], in that he doesn't remember Maleficent, let alone her resurrecting him, due to the side-effects of said resurrection; however, that doesn't change the fact that he was a bastard already.
* VillainousBreakdown: "Nobody disrespects me! NOBODY!!"

A queen of Wonderland who lives in a castle with decks and decks of card soldiers. Selfish and short-tempered, she beheads anyone who crosses her. She thinks Alice tried to steal her heart.

* AdiposeRex
* FlunkyBoss: She's no threat, its her card soldiers you have to look out for.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: if struck in the boss fight, she flips upside-down revealing these.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen
* HarmlessVillain: The Queen herself is useless in combat, her Card Soldiers rely on ZergRush tactics and are still pathetic, and she has no part in any of Maleficent's plans, staying confined to Wonderland and not doing anything malicious there other than being a petty {{Jerkass}}.

* OffhandBackhand: If the rim of the booth she is sitting in is mounted during her boss fight, she does a ''really'' weak version of one.
* PimpedOutDress
* StaffOfAuthority: It's not really a staff though, it's more of a lollipop shaped like a heart.

----
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Thanks to the MCP.
* DeadlyDisc
* TheDragon: To the MCP.
* EvilCounterpart: Of Tron.
* JapanesePronouns: "Watashi"
* NeverSayDie: See the above quote. Justified, seeing as they're computer programs, and derezzing is the same as dying for them.

* PowerupLetdown: Despite growing to gigantic proportions, Sark is actually quite laughable in his second form. He loses most of his mobility, his [[VillainTeleportation "Initiating data transfer!"]], and his attacks are easily telegraphed. In fact, by simply ''running away from him'', Sora can [[OneHitKO knock him out effortlessly]] via [[ActionCommands Reaction Commands]].

* TalkingToHimself: Has the same voice actor as the MCP, his master.

Scar is Simba's evil uncle. Scar was always jealous of his older brother Mufasa, and killed him so that he could become king of the Pride Lands.
----
* BackFromTheDead: His darkness was so strong, it helped him to come back as a Heartless after Simba killed him. When he died a second time, he came back again as a ghost. Later, his ghosts merged into the giant-sized Groundshaker Heartless, showing just how much darkness Scar had lodged in that callous heart of his.
* TheCaligula

* GoodScarsEvilScars: His pink gash over his left eye is an Evil Scar that earned his nickname.
* HiveMind[=/=]BigDumbBody: As Groundshaker, he has two bodies. The smaller body sits on top of the larger one and controls it.

* LargeHam
* MadeOfEvil: Once he became a Heartless. Put it this way -- the only other person who retained their original appearance after turning into a Heartless was Ansem (and even then, Ansem needed DemonicPossession to retain his original appearance, Scar didn't even need to possess anyone to retain it)! Scar had even more darkness in his heart than even Xehanort did !
* ManipulativeBastard
* OneWingedAngel: As mentioned above, the Groundshaker Heartless is technically his final form.

-> "Now you'll bow to me!"
-->Voiced by: HiroshiFujioka (Japanese), CoreyBurton (English)
Shan-Yu is the leader of the Hun army, and plans to attack and take over China (The Land of Dragons in game). He is large and burly, and wields a blade with zigzag shaped edges. His eyes and ears over China is his pet falcon, Hayabusa. Hayabusa appears as an ominous warning to others that Shan-Yu and his army are approaching.

* CoolSword: It appears to be a very large kris.
** BladeLock: A reaction command you can do with him.
** GoodWeaponEvilWeapon: Definitely an evil weapon.
* EvilLaugh
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: In the Manga, he makes a deal with Xigbar in exchange for power, and when he fails and pleads for more power from Xigbar. Xigbar comes to the conclusion that he isn't worth the trouble of giving a chance and promptly ''Shoots him in the head, POINT BLANK''. What makes even worse is the fact that even Sora winces at it once it is done.
** BoomHeadshot: Again, only in the Manga.
* FourStarBadass
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: There's no word on what his motives for invading with the Heartless are, nor does he have much dialogue and screentime. He's defined by the threat he poses. However, dialogue with the Emperor and knowledge of the film of origin implies that he might have been using them to try to take over and destroy China.
* GeniusBruiser: Manages to command and Organize Heartless with his military expertise ''alone'', sneak heartless into the ranks of Shang's army, tricks Sora and co., and also puts up a good fight.

Lady Tremaine is mother by blood of Anastasia and Drizella. Using Cinderella as a maid, she will do anything to ensure her two daughters' own success.
----
* CatsAreMean: [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Lucifer]].
* JapanesePronouns: "Watashi"
* KarmaHoudini: Her famous status of this in the original movies is actually avoided here, as [[spoiler:her last scene features her, Anastasia, and Druzella presumably ''killed'' by an Unversed. Seeing as that same Unversed was attacking Cinderella while the three of them stood by ''laughing'',]] this is a VERY satisfying fate for them.
* LastNameBasis: She's only known as "Lady Tremaine", as in the films.
* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]
* NeverSayDie: The final fate of Tremaine and her daughters is, according to Aqua, "The Darkness in their hearts overtook them."
** Please note that Aqua is actually saying that Tremaine pretty much brought it on herself, as the Unversed that may have [[spoiler:killed her]] was created from her hatred.
* ParentalFavoritism: If it were possible, ''Birth by Sleep'' actually pushes this trope even further.
* RightHandCat: Who's even a boss battle!

* BackFromTheDead: In VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII, everyone does notice how weird her revival is, but they have a theory that it relates to her mastery of the powers of darkness.

!Heartless

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kh_shadow.png]]
[[caption-width-right:250:The cutest EldritchAbomination you'll ever see.]]

-> "Anger... hatred... corruption, become power. Everything that exists, will be devoured!"
--> [[spoiler:—'''Data-Sora's Heartless''']]

The true antagonists of the story, Heartless are creatures of darkness born from the hearts within humans. They are driven only by instinct to seize hearts from other beings and destroy them, either by attacking them or manipulating them into darkness, creating more Heartless in the processs. As worlds also have hearts, this inevitably means they are drawn to worlds to destroy the world's heart and plunge it into darkness. Heartless come in two varieties -- Pureblood, formed naturally, and Emblem, formed by forced production.

According to legend, only the Keyblade wielder can stop the Heartless, able to lock the hearts of worlds from their reach, and when a Heartless is killed by a Keyblade its captive heart is freed. Thus the Heartless instinctively seek out Keyblade wielders to strike them down.

* AdorableEvilMinions: Albeit with a few genuinely scary exceptions.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil
* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: They're born from the darkness, and so long even a single heart has a bit of darkness in it, they'll always exist. However, it was only due to Xehanort's experiments that they were able to invade the Realm of Light, their inactivity in ''Birth By Sleep'' suggests perhaps they could be marginalized in the Realm of Darkness again.
* BiggerBad: As the very embodiments of darkness and the main reason so many people and worlds are destroyed, they're the most significant evil force in the game universe. However as creatures of instinct with infinite numbers they aren't actual "villains" in terms of plot, thus the actual villain roles go to human characters.
* BishonenLine: Zigzagged. Several of the strongest Heartless (Invisible, Neo Shadow, Darkside, etc) look more humanoid than their lesser counterparts, and Xehanort's Heartless, the most powerful Heartless of all, looks entirely human. On the other hand most Heartless including bosses look like monsters.
* CuteBruiser: Most of them look too cute to be an army of bloodthirsty creatures.

** LovecraftLite: No one actually has [[GoMadFromTheRevelation an epic grade]] FreakOut when they show up, and even the most powerful of them can still be defeated.
* EliteMook: Invisibles are universally the strongest pureblood Heartless short of Darksides and other bosses. The strongest Emblem Heartless varies, but the Angel Star and Defender are commonly among the toughest.

--> [[spoiler:—'''Sora-Heartless''']]

What's left behind when a heart is lost. Don't take "Nobody" literally: they ''are'' the body (and ill-defined "soul") of the person, though usually warped to something unrecognizable as human. Those who had the strongest will before losing their heart, however, can retain human form: see Organization XIII. We're told they lack emotion and feeling, but the fandom disagrees on this issue. [[spoiler: They're half-right; [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance 3D]] reveals that Nobodies start out with no hearts, but can regain them over time. Xehanort kept this fact secret from the entire Organization as part of his overall scheme to collect thirteen empty vessels to house his own heart.]]

* DidntNeedThoseAnyway: Its armor

* FrickinLaserBeams: sweeps the area with these

* BodyHorror: its pieces can be taken off and put together again

* EldritchAbomination

* PlayingWithFire: [[RuleOfCool Just because]].

* TheDragon: Replaced with Hook and Riku after his defeat.

* BonusBoss

* {{Expy}}: Of Pete

![[Disney/LiloAndStitch Jumba Jookiba]]

* BreathWeapon / PlayingWithFire

An evil bag of bugs who loves gambling with dice and dreams of causing trouble for Jack in Halloween Town. In the first game he steals a heart Jack and Finklestien create to control the Heartless, but [[spoiler: uses their power too much and succumbs to the darkness]], in ''Chain of Memories'' he does the same thing as last time except it's a memory potion, in the second game, he is resurrected by Maleficent so they can turn Santa Claus into a heartless.

* NeverSayDie: See the above quote. Justified, seeing as they're computer programs.

* HiveMind / BigDumbBody: As Groundshaker, he has two bodies. The smaller body sits on top of the larger one and controls it.

* CoolSword

* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: In the Manga, he makes a deal with Xigbar in exchange for power, and when he fails and pleads for more power from Xigbar. Xigbar comes to the conclusion that he isn't worth the trouble of giving a chance and promptly ''Shoots him in the head, POINT BLANK''. What makes [[ItGotWorse it even worse]] is the fact that even Sora winces at it once it is done.

* GoKartingWithBowser: An interesting version in that despite his obvious, if only slight malevolence, he's still not a bad guy when you race him in Birth By Sleep. In fact, it's the race (or rather the fact that he lost) that causes him to pull a FaceHeelTurn.

* RetCon: In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', it was stated that King Mickey banished Pete to another dimension, presumably for doing something ''really'' bad, and Maleficent broke him out. In ''Birth By Sleep'', however, Pete only throws a hissy fit, and ''Queen Minnie'' temporarily banishes him to another dimension "until he cools down". While there, Maleficent breaks him out in return for his service.
** "Only" a hissy fit is arguable. See the pose he was in? It's the same as his fighting stance. In other words, he was going to attack Minnie. For ice cream.
** DisproportionateRetribution: Even then, she couldn't have known that, and even if she did, ''[[CoolAndUnusualPunishment she sent him to another dimension for a relatively minor offense]]''. Do they not have jails in Disney Castle, or is the legal system just that strict?

* YouShallNotPass: In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', during the endgame.

* TookALevelInBadass [[TookALevelInJerkAss and Jerkass]]

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: In the first game. His appearance makes more sense in ''3D''.

** TheManBehindTheMonsters: To the Heartless.

* [[spoiler:TrueFinalBoss]]: [[spoiler:Actually the last enemy of the Secret Episode, replacing Terra-Xehanort in this regard]].

* [[spoiler:MesACrowd]]: In ''Dream Drop Distance'' and beyond, this has apparently been his plan all along.

* BeardOfEvil

* EvilTwin: Of Kevin Flynn.

* FauxAffablyEvil

* KarmaHoudini: He manages to avoid defeat in Sora's story, making the BittersweetEnding sadder.

* AxeCrazy: Due to his programming

A captain in the Galactic Federation's army. He takes his responsibilities seriously, but his hotheaded attitude results in frequent failures.

* HeroAntagonist

* BlackMagic[=/=]CastingAShadow: Darkness is his whole shtick. However, it's use depends on the incarnation. Ansem [=SoD=] and the Guardian uses it for pretty much everything when they're not doing physical attacks, Master Xehanort uses it sparingly, while [[spoiler:Terra-Xehanort]] and [[spoiler:Young Xehanort]] are a bit more liberal with it, but not to the extend that Ansem [=SoD=] is.

* BlackMagic[=/=]CastingAShadow: Darkness is his whole shtick.

* PowerOfTheVoid: Sorcerers attack with HardLight cubes of PureEnergy. Also technically, all Nobodies are beings born of nothingness.

** {{BFS}}: Berserkers
** BladeOnAStick: Dragoons
** DeathDealer: Gamblers
** DualWielding: Samurai
** SniperRifle: Snipers

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: There's no word on what his motives for invading with the Heartless are, nor does he have much dialogue and screentime. He's defined by the threat he poses.

** BigBadEnsemble: With Xemnas in the second game.

* BigBadDuumvirate: With Ansem, though [[TheDragon the lesser of the two.]]

** BigBadWannabe: While she's still a major threat, with the full scope of Xehanort's plans revealed she's far from the main concern of the heroes now, and has nowhere near the influence or power she had in the first game. Nonetheless she's still determined to conquer the worlds for her own.

* OmnicidalManiac: Heavily implied to be this by the novels and the game, but never outright stated. By the end of his backstory in the novels, he wants to make everyone, in every world suffer. He gets really excited by the prospect of the Keyblade War, and the legends about it's catastrophic, universe-ending consequences.

* TheFatalist: All of his incarnations seem to feel this way regarding [[spoiler:''[=3D=]''[='s=] plot]]; it's perhaps a reasonable conclusion when [[spoiler:TimeTravel and YouCantFightFate]] are both in effect. Neither Young Xehanort nor Master Xehanort seem very emotionally invested because they're [[spoiler:playing out roles in a plan that, according to them, is preordained to be successful]].

* PowersViaPossession: [[spoiler:Master Xehanort can take direct control of any of his Seekers allowing them to wield his keyblade in the process.]]

* SeekerArchetype: With a vicious villainous spin, this is shown with his title the ''Seeker of Darkness''.

* {{Badass}}: Think of how badass all the other incarnations of Xehanort are. Then think, one way or another, it all started with him.

** DishingOutDirt: Raises pillars of earth to launch you into the air.

* TheDeterminator: He will do ''anything'' to obtain the X-Blade and gain the power of Kingdom Hearts.

* EvilCounterpart: What we learn about Xehanort's past in ''Birth By Sleep'' has effectively turned him into an Evil Counterpart to Sora -- [[spoiler:both are Keyblade wielders, both were born on Destiny Islands, and both wanted to explore other worlds. While Master Xehanort's heart {{Body Surf}}s through Terra and Riku, Sora opens his heart to protect the hearts of Ventus and Kairi. ''Re:coded'' centers on Sora willingly taking on the pain and suffering of others, while ''Dream Drop Distance'' reveals Xehanort has been infecting others with his evil]]. While Xehanort and his incarnations betray their allies when they [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness are of no further use]], Sora relies on ThePowerOfFriendship. Not to mention that both of them have multiple alter-egos, which have themselves clashed across the series. According to WordOfGod as of ''Dream Drop Distance'', Master Xehanort also has the ability to attach different Keychains to his Keyblade to change its form, too.

* VillainOverride: [[spoiler: [[AllThereInTheManual According to the Ultimania for ''3D'']], Master Xehanort did this to him for the battle with Riku in Where Nothing Gathers so as to be able to override the Stopza imposed by Mickey.]]
