| 11 | The classic villains of the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon and some live-action films. |
| 12 | ---- |
| 13 | * ArcVillain: Every Disney Villain acts as the main antagonist to their own respective worlds, either completely out to do their [[EvilPlan Evil Plans]] regardless of otherworldly involvement or working for a LegionOfDoom in the greater narrative (Maleficent's group, Organization XIII, the Seekers of Darkness, etc.). |
| 14 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Though many of the Disney villains are hammy and somewhat comedic in behavior, it is evidently clear that each one is undeniably dangerous in combat. |
| 15 | * EvilIsBigger: The vast majority of them tower over the more benevolent characters, even their most human members. |
| 16 | * FillerVillain: With the possible exceptions of MCP, Randall Boggs and (manga-only) Shan-Yu, who are releaved to be proxy agents/allies of Xehanort, and maybe Clayton, whose fall to darkness is meant to emphasise Maleficent's EvilerThanThou nature, all of these have no relevant role in the major plot other than to serve as a local obstacle. |
| 17 | * 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''. |
| 18 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "Villains of a Sort", though primarily used for the council and Maleficent and Pete-focused scenes, is still frequently used in Disney villain-centric scenes. In battle, it depends on the boss, but it's often "Squirming Evil" or "The Encounter". |
| 19 | * ObviouslyEvil: Most of them really though there are certain exceptions. |

| 30 | ->"What I demand is her life. I have had more than enough of her light." |
| 31 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Susan Blakeslee (English), Kyoko Satomi (Japanese)\ |
| 32 | '''Origin:''' ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs''\ |

| 34 | A vain woman who is convinced she is the fairest of all. When the Spirit of the Magic Mirror revealed Snow White to be fairer, the Queen decided to take the maiden's life. |
| 35 | ---- |
| 36 | * ArcVillainess: She's the main villain of the Dwarf Woodlands in ''Birth by Sleep''. |
| 37 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: |
| 38 | -->'''Queen:''' There is a maiden known as Snow White. '''Kill her.''' |
| 39 | * FairestOfThemAll: Her motivation is to be this, even if she has to out-and-out murder the competition. |
| 40 | * {{Foil}}: To Maleficent. One is an AmbiguouslyHuman woman with full command of Dark Magic who is hinted to be of demonic heritage, while the other is an ordinary human who irresponsibly dabbles in Dark Magic far beyond her comprehension. And one is a consummate schemer who's one of the most ambitious and powerful villains in the mythos, while the other is a textbook example of EvilIsPetty who has long since faded into irrelevance by the time of Sora's battle with Xehanort. |
| 41 | * GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: It's all in the name. Terra realizes right from the get-go that the Queen is bad news and disregards her order to get rid of Snow White the first chance he gets. |
| 42 | * HighCollarOfDoom: A large white collar as part of her queen attire. |
| 43 | * KilledOffscreen: She herself is not directly defeated by any of the heroes. She meets her end offscreen between Ventus and Aqua's visits to the world. |
| 44 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: After Terra defeats the spirit of the Magic Mirror, she decides to cut her losses and orders the mirror to give Terra the info he wants instead of facing him in combat herself. |
| 45 | ->'''Queen:''' Magic Mirror, instruct this knave! Give him the answers he doth crave. |
| 46 | ->'''Magic Mirror:''' Beyond both light and dark he dwells, where war was waged upon the fells. |
| 47 | * NeverSayDie: The first Disney villain in the series to avert this, as seen by her above EstablishingCharacterMoment. |
| 48 | * NoNameGiven: She's only ever known as "the Queen". |
| 49 | * TheUnfettered: Most villains up to this point in the series largely threatened to turn others into Heartless or cast their hearts into the darkness, with the implication that they would kill Sora or Riku once their boss battle began. The Queen makes it clear to Terra from the beginning that she wants Snow White ''dead''. |
| 50 | * TheUnfought: The Evil Queen/Witch is not fought by the player at all in the game before she is KilledOffscreen by the dwarfs, with the player instead fighting her Magic Mirror. However, a Heartless, Wretched Witch, shares her appearance very closely in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX''. |
| 51 | * VainSorceress: Her only desire is Snow White's death to ensure she is FairestOfThemAll. |
| 52 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She's last seen giving Snow White the poisoned apple. After that, the Magic Mirror simply states that she is "gone." Her [[DisneyVillainDeath fate]] from the film is only subtly alluded to in Aqua's journal entry of the character, which says she was "chased down" by the dwarfs. |
| 53 | * WickedStepmother: To Snow White. |
| 54 | * WickedWitch: She can brew potions, using one to disguise herself and another to drive the Magic Mirror into a frenzy. |
| 55 | * YouHaveFailedMe: When Terra refuses to kill Snow White, the Queen tries to have the Magic Mirror dispose of him. |

| 65 | '''Appearances:''' ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Birth by Sleep]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX χ(chi)]]'' | ''Union χ (Cross)''| ''Dark Road'' |
| 66 | A spirit who appears within the magic mirror at the queen's behest and answers all questions with the truth. The Evil Queen's rage causes him to suck Terra and Aqua within a PocketDimension found in the mirror for a BossFight. |
| 67 | ---- |
| 68 | * AdaptationalBadass: The Mirror never displayed any form of combat ability in the original movie. In ''BBS'', he can suck people into a PocketDimension within him and actually fight them with laser beams and blunt force. |
| 69 | * 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 Aqua) seem to be due to it being corrupted by outside forces. |
| 70 | * BreathWeapon: Inside the mirror. |
| 71 | * BrutalHonesty: As he explains, he is unable to tell anything but the truth. This includes frankly telling Vor that she doesn't really want to be a Keyblade Master because she doesn't want things to change, which does upset her despite being the truth. |
| 72 | * ButNowIMustGo: After the Queen's death, he states his work is done and leaves the mirror. What becomes of him is unknown. |
| 73 | * DeadpanSnarker: Downplayed, since he has no malicious or snarky intentions. But he does note how Master Xehanort is bald now when he meets him again as an old man, in a way that Xehanort acknowledges in a bemused way. |
| 74 | * DemotedToExtra: He appears only in a single cutscene in ''χ[chi]''. |
| 75 | * DoppelgangerSpin: The trick is to spot the one that's smiling. |
| 76 | * GracefulLoser: His only reaction to defeat is a rather bored "How unfortunate.". After losing to Aqua, he simply bids the "victorious one" farewell. |
| 77 | * MagicMirror: The trope is its name, after all. |
| 78 | * TheOmniscient: Possibly. The Mirror seems to be able to answer any question truthfully, even one about the location of Master Xehanort. He even lampshades it when the Queen initially orders him to kill Terra. |
| 79 | -->''"Alas, my liege, that I cannot do. I have no power, save answers true."'' |
| 80 | * PocketDimension: Contains one as a result of the Evil Queen splashing a potion on it in a failed attempt to invoke YouHaveFailedMe on Terra. In ''0.2'', it expands into a series of these that contain bits and pieces of the rest of Dwarf Woodlands after the world is dragged into the Realm of Darkness. |
| 81 | * PunchClockVillain: Seriously, compared to other characters on this page, he's sort of benevolent when in control of his own actions. He just so happens to answer to a cruel, vain owner. |
| 82 | * RecurringBoss: The Mirror is the main boss of the Dwarf Woodlands instead of the Queen, who, while being the antagonist in the world, is never fought by Eraqus's disciples. The Mirror is also fought twice, first by Terra, then by Aqua. |
| 83 | * RhymesOnADime: All of his lines are spoken in verse. |
| 84 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: The ''Dark Road'' finale reveals that Xehanort visited him in his old age, questioning The Mirror about the dreams he had as a child. The Mirror instead directs him to The Keyblade Graveyard, where Xehanort would first find Ventus. |
| 85 | * TheStoic: He's pretty laid-back, even during his battles with Terra and Aqua. |
| 86 | * TookALevelInBadass: Forced upon him by the Evil Queen, making his spirit quite the boss fight inside the mirror. |
| 87 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He appears to simply leave after the Queen's death; what he's done since is unclear, although ''2.8'' shows the physical mirror was in the Realm of Darkness between games, containing much of what used to be Dwarf Woodlands. |

| 101 | '''Appearances:''' ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Birth by Sleep]]'' |
| 102 | A self-proclaimed "evil genius," he is arrested for illegal genetic experimentation and now serves time in a cell within the Turo Prison Block. He tricks Terra into breaking him out, but turns on him when Experiment 626 doesn't act on his destructive programming. |
| 103 | ---- |
| 104 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Sort of: he ''was'' originally a villain in his own series, but very little of his evil activities are ever seen as the film begins shortly before his HeelFaceTurn. The events of ''Birth by Sleep'', however, take place entirely before ''Lilo & Stitch'', leaving him in a strictly villainous role within its context. |
| 105 | * AdmiringTheAbomination: More specifically, admiring himself for creating experiments, and then admiring the destructive power they have. |
| 106 | * CardCarryingVillain: He calls himself an EvilGenius. |
| 107 | * EvilGenius: A bioengineer imprisoned for his illegal experiments. |
| 108 | * AFatherToHisMen: After Sparky is beaten, Jumba grabs his dehydrated experiment and comforts it. |
| 109 | %%* ForTheEvulz |
| 110 | * 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 [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch his original continuity]] may have something to do with this. |
| 111 | %%* LargeHam |
| 112 | * LaughablyEvil: He's generally more a source of comic relief than an actual villain. |
| 113 | * MadScientist: Though he ''prefers'' to be called EvilGenius. |
| 114 | %%* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Though to be fair, we don't know the specifications for earning a doctorate on whatever planet he comes from. |
| 115 | * SaveTheVillain: Experiment 626 and he would've gotten shot on first sight by Gantu if Aqua hadn't remembered their orders were to capture them ''alive'' and fought Gantu to protect them on these grounds. |
| 116 | * WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: He has some sort of very thick Eastern European accent despite [[SpaceJews being from outer space]]. |

| 127 | One of Dr. Jumba's genetic experiments, with the primary function to short out electrical devices. Jumba summons him to attack Terra after seeing how Experiment 626 was "negatively" affected by learning about the concept of friendship. |
| 128 | ---- |
| 129 | * AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Sparky first appeared in the (first released but second chronological) sequel movie, after his cousin has already settled on Earth. Here, he first appears before Stitch even escapes his prison. |
| 130 | * AdaptationInducedPlotHole: Jumba did not have direct access to the other experiments until shortly before ''Stitch! The Movie'' when he was already exiled to Earth, but here he pulls both Sparky’s experiment pod and a flask of water to activate it from his person during the time he and Terra are trying to escape, which raises the question of why he does not simply activate 221 and use his electricity powers to escape earlier. |
| 131 | * AdmiringTheAbomination: Jumba acts like this towards all his experiments, including Sparky. |
| 132 | * AxeCrazy: It was programmed by Jumba to be as destructive as possible. |
| 133 | %%* IcyBlueEyes |
| 134 | %%* LightningGun: Can possess one. |
| 135 | * LogicalWeakness: As an electrical creature, he is, of course, weak to ''blackout''. |
| 136 | * PsychoElectro: An evil experiment with electrical powers. |
| 137 | * SatelliteCharacter: The only reason he comes up in the game is because Jumba takes offense to Terra not being sure if Stitch is evil. Aside from this Sparky isn't that relevant to the story. |

| 177 | ---- |
| 178 | * AIIsACrapshoot: A MasterComputer who despises the beings who created him. |
| 179 | * ArcVillain: In addition to being the main villain of Space Paranoids, he becomes the most immediate threat to Hollow Bastion in ''II''. |
| 180 | * BossBanter: He doesn't attack on his own (he only can do so through in-built defensive measures), so rather than fight, he taunts you during the battle. And he never. Shuts. ''Up''! |

| 186 | * FlunkyBoss: When the MCP is fought, he turns Sark giant to assist him against Sora and Tron. |

| 188 | * OmnicidalManiac: In the manga adaptation. |
| 189 | * OptionalBoss: [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon The World That Never Was]] will always be available before the return to Space Paranoids, meaning Sora never has to engage the fight with Sark and the MCP. |

| 203 | A powerful program who doesn't serve any User -- just the MCP. Commander Sark is pretty harsh to any program that tries to resist his master's power. |
| 204 | ---- |
| 205 | * AdaptationalJerkass: In the film, Sark shows some hesitation about training and crushing Kevin Flynn, due to him being a user, before MCP forces him to do so. Here, no such scene is present and he shows no qualms about imprisoning Sora and his teammates, even torturing Donald and Goofy. |
| 206 | * AdaptationExpansion: In the games, he comes off as a villain who, while threatening, is mostly glossed over in comparison to the MCP. In the manga, Sark has a more notable presence, complete with reasonings of why he is a villain. |
| 207 | * AlasPoorVillain: The reason behind Sark's villainy in the manga adaptation is because he thought he was betrayed by his user, Ansem the Wise, not knowing that it was actually Xehanort, and warns Tron that the same will happen to him, which causes Sora to feel sorry for Sark and promise Tron that they will be friends forever. |
| 208 | * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Thanks to the MCP. |
| 209 | * DeadlyDisc: His main weapon while normal-sized. |
| 210 | * TheDragon: To the MCP. |
| 211 | * EvilCounterpart: Of Tron. |
| 212 | * FaceHeelTurn: In the manga adaptation, due to Ansem's betrayal. |
| 213 | * InsultBackfire: Sark responds to Sora insulting his status as a "Heartless Commander" by torturing Donald and Goofy. |
| 214 | * JacobMarleyWarning: In the manga, Sark's dying words were to warn Tron about why they should not trust the users, since Ansem betrayed them long ago, which lead to Sark's FaceHeelTurn. |
| 215 | * MakeMyMonsterGrow: After losing at normal size, the MCP makes him the size of a house for round two. |
| 216 | * NeverSayDie: See the above quote. Justified, seeing as they're computer programs, and derezzing is the same as dying for them. |
| 217 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: His EstablishingCharacterMoment. Sark is dismissed by Sora as a threat at first, and actually mocks him. Sark responds by torturing Sora's friends in front of him. |
| 218 | * OnlyOneName: As a computer program, he has no last name. |
| 219 | * OptionalBoss: Much like the MCP since you can beat the game before even unlocking the return to Space Paranoids. |
| 220 | * 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]]. |

| 234 | ---- |
| 235 | * AdaptationalJerkass: Clu, like Scar, Hans, and the Tremaine family, is much more evil in this continuity than he is in his own franchise.

| 236 | * AIIsACrapshoot: Subverted like in the film. CLU is still following his programming to try to create the perfect system.

| 241 | * BadassBoast: "I created the perfect system! And now, you see [[TheUsualAdversaries the applications at my disposal]]!" |
| 242 | * BeardOfEvil: Which, ironically, is also Kevin Flynn's beard from when he was at the age when he created CLU. |
| 243 | * TheCorrupter: Corrupted The Grid and also turned TRON into Rinzler. Not to mention the entire process of [[BrainwashedAndCrazy rectification]]. Its even implied that Commantis is actually a good Dream Eater controlled by him as well, as lightning from his ship strikes the disk in its head, and it subtly changes appearance when stunned. |
| 244 | * CreativeSterility: Why he has to [[{{Brainwashed}} rectify]] programs and Dream Eaters like Commantis 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. |
| 245 | * DeadlyDisc: Wields one, like everyone else in The Grid. |
| 246 | * 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. |
| 247 | * DrunkOnTheDarkSide: As shown by his obsession with the Commantis Dream Eater. |
| 248 | * EnemyWithout: To Kevin Flynn. |
| 249 | * EvilOverlord: He rules the entire Grid with an iron fist. |
| 250 | * EvilTwin: Of Kevin Flynn, especially when he was younger. |
| 251 | * {{Expy}}: Clu's role in Sora's side of the game is identical to that of Lady Tremaine in ''Birth by Sleep'', with both keeping prisoners and the hero having to fight hard to free them. When they succeed, both Tremaine and Clu resort to murder, with only Clu succeeding. |
| 252 | * FantasticRacism: Hates the [=ISOs=] for being imperfect and unpredictable. |
| 253 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Though it drops completely when he hits his VillainousBreakdown. |
| 254 | * 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. |
| 255 | * 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.]] |
| 256 | * GreenEyedMonster: Tried to derezz Sora out of jealousy after Rinzler is freed. |
| 257 | * {{Jerkass}}: Arguably worse than in the film, especially in Sora's side. |
| 258 | %%* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He hates losing, and is willing to kill both Sora and Rinzler if it means remaining the winner. |
| 259 | * KickTheDog: Clu does this by forcing Sora to fight Tron/Rinzler, knowing fully well that Sora was once friends with him. And when Tron gets restored, Clu tries to kill Sora, forcing Tron to sacrifice himself to save him. |
| 260 | * KnightTemplar: He will do anything to create the "perfect system". |
| 261 | %%* LargeHam |
| 262 | %%* LatexSpaceSuit |

| 267 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Along with Barbossa, Sark, Beckett, and Davy Jones, he is one of the only five live-action villains to be featured in the series. |
| 268 | * NotQuiteDead: Same situation as Frollo, he was not defeated in the real version of The Grid, so he could be back in later installments. |
| 269 | * OnlyOneName: Unless his acronym name could be counted as three, he's like most programs in this respect. |
| 270 | * ThePerfectionist: Clu desires to create the perfect system. |
| 271 | * PermaStubble: Even moreso than many other examples, since, as a program, his avatar is unchanging. |
| 272 | %%* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil |
| 273 | %%* RageAgainstTheHeavens: With "the heavens" being Kevin Flynn. |
| 274 | * 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". |
| 275 | %%* RingsOfDeath |
| 276 | * SadisticChoice: He foists one of these on Sora: the Keyblade in exchange for turning Rinzler back into Tron. Being the hero he is, Sora opts to take a third option by using the Keyblade to free Tron. |
| 277 | * SoreLoser: He loses Rinzler to Sora, and responds by attacking them both, killing Rinzler. |
| 278 | * TotalitarianUtilitarian: He only wants the "perfect system". Unfortunately, he's the only one who thinks it's this, everyone else around him who follows him having been [[BrainwashedAndCrazy rectified]]. |
| 279 | * TronLines: Uniquely, Clu is the only one with [[GoldColoredSuperiority gold]] in color. |
| 280 | * TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Betrayed Kevin Flynn and took over The Grid. |
| 281 | * 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. Ultimately, Kevin does CLU in by absorbing him at the end of Riku's Story Arc. |
| 282 | * VillainousBreakdown: After being lectured by Kevin Flynn, and even more after learning of the disc swap that caused his defeat. |
| 283 | ** In Sora's side, Rinzler's freedom is enough to cause [[SoreLoser Clu]] to snap and attack Sora out of jealousy. |
| 284 | * VillainousBSOD: After Riku defeats the Commantis. |
| 285 | * VisionaryVillain: He wants to create the perfect system. |
| 286 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He wants to bring the world to its maximum potential. Unfortunately, that means killing everything that's imperfect. Including the [=ISOs=] and two children. |

| 293 | '''Appears in:''' ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance Dream Drop Distance]]'' |
| 294 | |
| 295 | The original version of Tron, who has been repurposed by CLU into serving as his deadliest enforcer. |
| 296 | |
| 297 | ->See Characters/KingdomHeartsPartyMembersAndSummons for info on Tron. |
| 298 | ---- |
| 299 | * BifurcatedWeapon: Just like the film, he can split his Identity Disk into two. |
| 300 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Thanks to CLU tampering with his code, the noble and affable Tron is now a silent, ruthless killer. |
| 301 | * DeadlyDisc: His weapon of choice, as usual. He can wield two at once, even. |
| 302 | * DecompositeCharacter: Since the Grid is the original computer system that Space Paranoids was copied from, that makes Rinzler the original Tron and the Tron of Space Paranoids a copy. In a CallBack to previous instances of this happening in ''II'' and ''Coded'', Rinzler's heart is implied to be entangled with that of the Tron from Space Paranoids, allowing Sora to try and influence him through their connection. |
| 303 | * FallenHero: He went from a heroic security program to a loyal, brainwashed enforcer of a ControlFreak. |
| 304 | * FightingYourFriend: Downplayed. Rinzler is the original Tron, and the Tron Sora met in Space Paranoids is a copy. However, that hardly matters to Sora, because Tron is Tron in any world. |
| 305 | * FightsLikeANormal: Unlike most boss battles, Rinzler fights with actual hand-to-hand moves and [[DanceBattler dance-like]] acrobatics against Sora. |
| 306 | * HeroicSacrifice: His decision to take the bullet for Sora after their battle indicates his return to his "Tron" persona. |
| 307 | * IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Sora's battle with him involves him trying to bring the real Tron back to his senses. He succeeds in rattling his memories by [[SayMyName calling his name]] to keep him from killing Quorra, and appears to reprogram his "heart" at the end of their battle before Rinzler sacrifices himself. |
| 308 | * InterfaceScrew: During his boss fight, gravity may occasionally be reversed and invert Sora's controls. |
| 309 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: Rinzler's true identity is considered a big plot twist in his home film. Here, it's revealed in the same scene Sora finds him. |
| 310 | * {{Leitmotif}}: He gets a boss theme called "Rinzler Recompiled", making him the first Disney boss to get his own music since [[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} Chernabog]]. |
| 311 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: Downplayed. He winds up TakingTheBullet for Sora after being returned to his original programming and suffers a DisneyVillainDeath, but is strongly believed to have survived and will be repurposed back into Rinzler. |
| 312 | * ReforgedIntoAMinion: He's one of your old [[GuestStarPartyMember Guest-Star Party Members]] (or at least the original version of him) turned into TheDragon of an EvilOverlord. |
| 313 | * StabTheScorpion: He looks poised to attack Sora again after Sora tries reverting his code to normal. In truth, he pushes him aside before CLU can get him. |
| 314 | * UncertainDoom: He appears to suffer a DisneyVillainDeath in both stories, but CLU states he'll simply have to retrieve Rinzler to get him back in action, and Sora is certain enough of his survival to not be too broken up about it. |
| 315 | * TheVoiceless: The film shows he's capable of speech, but he never utters a word in the game. |
| 316 | * WakeUpCallBoss: He's capable of both close-quarters and long-distance combat, and he's dangerous at either range, often dealing hard hits by either slashing with or throwing his Identity Disks. This is also the first boss Flowmotion isn't completely practical against, since wandering too far will cause him to throw his disks with the added property of tracking you. The InterfaceScrew only adds onto the hurt. The only haven you have in this fight is [[CounterAttack Counter Rush]]. |

| 346 | |
| 347 | A wild leopard who stalked the wilds of Deep Jungle. Sabor attacked Sora after he initially gets separated from Donald and Goofy, but was fended off by Tarzan. The leopard appeared repeatedly during the level until the heroes defeated her for good. |
| 348 | ---- |
| 349 | |
| 350 | * AdaptationalBadass: This version of Sabor can shrug off magical attacks of fire, ice, and thunder from Sora and Donald. |
| 351 | * AmbiguousGender: Sabor is stated to be male in her journal entry, but is female in the film. To make matters more confusing, the novel refers to her as "it". |
| 352 | * BadassNormal: Most Disney bosses have some kind of supernatural power source. Sabor is a normal African leopard who is able to shrug off magic like it's nothing. |
| 353 | * CombatPragmatist: Is fond of sneak attacks, as well as playing dead. |
| 354 | * FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: After beating her for the final time, you see through her eyes as she struggles to stay up an her vision becomes blurred. After that she just falls over dead. [[TheToothHurts The equippable White Fang accessory]] was [[BattleTrophy most likely taken from her corpse afterward.]] |
| 355 | * HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Similar to Leon; though here, it's less improbable, as Sora is more experienced by now and doesn't faint regardless of the outcome. It's an OpenEndedBossBattle the first time Sabor is encountered. If you lose, Sora is shown struggling with Sabor. If you win, Sabor plays dead and almost overpowers Sora when he tries to investigate. |
| 356 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Both narratively and in-game. Taking into account bosses like Trickmaster before her and Clayton afterwards, Sabor seems trivial at first glance, being a wild animal with nothing but swipes and charges. These attacks however are somewhat quick and hard to predict, making Sabor reasonably tricky to fight if you haven't been leveling up right, especially the first time without anyone to back Sora up (the battle is ''open-ended'' for a reason.). Story-wise, she killed Tarzan's parents and very nearly does the same to Sora before Tarzan drives her off, showing just how vulnerable he is at this point without companions. |
| 357 | * PantheraAwesome: Not so awesome for Sora, though. |
| 358 | * RecurringBoss: So long as you don't continue the story to the point of her last battle (where she's killed), she'll occasionally show up to attack you at the Campsite and Bamboo Thicket areas, retreating when she hits a certain HP threshold. |
| 359 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Plays a very similar role to the Hyenas in this regard. No matter which way the battle goes, she will very nearly overpower Sora afterwards before being chased off at the last second. |
| 360 | * SuperPersistentPredator: Seeing that she's a RecurringBoss, Sabor is just bent on finishing what she started with Sora. |
| 361 | * TalkingAnimal: She isn't, which is accurate to her home film, but since none of the other animals speak like in the movie, it fits in better. |

| 369 | ->"Blasted gorillas! I'll hunt down every last one of them!" |
| 370 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{BRIAN BLESSED}} (English), Creator/BanjoGinga (Japanese)\ |
| 371 | '''Origin:''' ''WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}''\ |
| 372 | '''Appearances:''' ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI I]]'' |
| 373 | A veteran hunter. He acted as Jane's guide on her expedition to the jungle. He thought of animals only as prey, and dreamed of the money to be made selling gorillas to zoos back at home. |
| 374 | ---- |
| 375 | * AdaptationalJerkass: Unlike in the film, here he just wanted to kill the gorillas for sport. Furthermore, he had no problem trying to kill Sora, who was still a young boy. Though, most of this can be explained by the fact that he became a heartless puppet. |
| 376 | * AlasPoorVillain: Unlike the rest of the Disney villains, and even though he wasn't a very good person, Clayton was in the end just another victim of TheHeartless rather than a megalomaniac psychopath. His heart was lost when he had a moment of weakness and he became an emotionless puppet for the Heartless to use. After his death, the party expresses pity for him, with Tarzan saying that Clayton was a lonely, bitter, and friendless man, and so an easy target for the Heartless. |
| 377 | * ArcVillain: After falling to the darkness, he becomes this for Deep Jungle. |
| 378 | * CardCarryingVillain: Clayton outright introduces himself as a hunter if Sora speaks with him in an optional scene. |
| 379 | * DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Instead of [[DisneyVillainDeath falling to his death]] and [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath being hung]] like in the film, Clayton is instead SquashedFlat by a dying Stealth Sneak. |
| 380 | * DualBoss: He fought side by side with a Stealth Sneak Heartless in his battle which proved to be his undoing as it crushed him when it died. |
| 381 | * DullEyesOfUnhappiness: When he's first encountered as a boss, he has a blank expression on his face right until the end, a sign that he's no longer himself. |
| 382 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Clayton fights alongside the Stealth Sneak. The execution is a bit awkward; Clayton's repertoire of attacks and movements is simplistic, and while the Stealth Sneak is a much greater threat and a more creative boss, its defeat isn't actually required. Later ''Kingdom Hearts'' games would take the simpler route of having Disney villains without combat prowess or supernatural powers summon dark creatures to fight in their stead, or, in the case of [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Mother Gothel]] and [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Hans]], ''becoming'' their own Heartless. |
| 383 | * EgomaniacHunter: Even moreso than in the movie, where his plan was to capture and sell the animals -- here, [[ForTheEvulz he just wanted to kill them]]. Though, it actually goes FromBadToWorse, since -- as basically a Heartless -- he doesn't even have Pride to fall back on as a reason anymore. |
| 384 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: Already an experienced hunter, Clayton allows the Darkness to consume him, giving him the power to control Heartless. |
| 385 | * FatalFlaw: Lust for power, according to Maleficent herself. Clayton's intentions of gorilla genocide attracted the Heartless, but his weak heart made him no match against the Heartless, leading to the Stealth Sneak killing him as it dies. This leads the cabal of villains who actually know how to control the Heartless to mock him for being a weak-hearted fool who had no understanding of the power that had consumed him. |
| 386 | -->'''Oogie Boogie:''' Yeah, he got chomped instead! |
| 387 | * FinalSolution: Clayton stakes his life on gorilla extinction, and uses the Heartless to find and kill them. |
| 388 | * FlunkyBoss: The first stage of the boss fight with Clayton has a bunch of Powerwild Heartless. After damaging Clayton enough, the Powerwilds are replaced by the Stealth Sneak boss. |
| 389 | * HealingBoss: He's one of the few bosses in the first game capable of healing itself, although he uses Potions instead of magic. |
| 390 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Stealth Sneak falls on top of him and crushes him just as it's dying. |
| 391 | * HumanoidAbomination: Before his boss battle, he was attacked by the Heartless. Tarzan is aware that he's lost his heart despite still appearing human. |
| 392 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Clayton makes it no secret that he is only in it for the gorillas. |
| 393 | * ManipulativeBastard: Clayton uses Sora looking for his two missing friends as an excuse to get Tarzan to take him as an escort to the gorillas. He also leads the heroes everywhere and uses that time to find Kerchak and a larger group. |
| 394 | * LargeHam: Just look at who voiced him. It's also funny, considering BRIAN BLESSED is thought of as the English counterpart to Banjo Ginga (and vice versa). |
| 395 | * LastNameBasis: He was only known as "Clayton", with his first name, John, excluded from the game. |
| 396 | * LoneWolfBoss: The only Disney villain in the first game to be fought and not be a member of Maleficent's Council of Villains. |
| 397 | * PetTheDog: He did help Goofy and Donald by bringing them to the camp when he found them lost in the jungle at the beginning of the Deep Jungle storyline. |
| 398 | * SequentialBoss: Clayton is first fought on his own and with a few Heartless, but after doing a little bit of damage, a cutscene starts that brings out the Stealth Sneak boss and changes the music to the "Squirming Evil" boss theme. For this fight, the creature is invisible until his first health bar is drained, and once the second health bar is drained, the Stealth Sneak will throw Clayton off it and Clayton will start attacking on foot again. |
| 399 | * ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Like in the film, he uses a shotgun as his weapon of choice. In Night exp. runs especially, this gun can spell your doom if you aren't paying attention during the boss fight. |
| 400 | * SilentAntagonist: Clayton has no lines in cutscenes following his Heartless-summoning StartOfDarkness. |
| 401 | * SmokingIsNotCool: Clayton is the one the few characters to smoke onscreen, and he's a CardCarryingVillain. He uses his smoking pipe to distract Sora with a fight against Sabor while he kidnaps Jane. |
| 402 | * StarterVillain: He is the first Disney villain you ever fight as a major boss in the series. |
| 403 | * StartOfDarkness: Clayton starts off the arc as a noble, yet untrustworthy card-carrying hunter. When caught trying to shoot Terk, Jane forbids him from going near the gorillas again. Clayton storms out, and declares his intentions to hunt the gorillas to extinction, staking his life on it; this very act causes his heart to go black and attract the Heartless. |
| 404 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: If you talk to Clayton after meeting Jane for the first time, he'll greet you and confirm he was a hunter. If you talk to him again, he'll deny he was hunting the gorillas, but right afterwards, he was caught trying to shoot Terk. He still denies that he tried to kill her, claiming that he saved her from a snake, but no one believes him, triggering his StartOfDarkness. |
| 405 | -->'''Clayton:''' What? No, I am not going to hurt the gorillas. But they're so rare! I'd just like to get a look at them. |
| 406 | * SympathyForTheDevil: Tarzan, Sora, and friends take a few moments to lament that he was turned into a Heartless and destroyed, remarking that he might not have become so bitter and deranged that he lost his heart if he had friends to confide in. |
| 407 | * VillainTeleportation: Clayton warps back onto the Stealth Sneak’s back if you take too long finishing either off once you separate them. |

| 417 | ->Voiced by: Creator/RobinAtkinDownes (English)\ |
| 418 | '''Origin:''' ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMansChest''\ |
| 419 | '''Appearances:''' ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII III]]'' |
| 420 | The condemned Captain of The Flying Dutchman and leader of a crew of damned pirates, of which he owns the souls of. |
| 421 | ---- |
| 422 | * AdaptationalJerkass: Since the main plot of the film mostly transpires in the background, the game doesn't explicitly present his tragic backstory and [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes the love that led to his downfall]]. He comes across more as a CardCarryingVillain than he already was in the films. |
| 423 | * ArcVillain: Jones and Beckett play out their roles from ''At World's End'' as the main villains of the Caribbean, at least for the local residents. |
| 424 | * TheBattleDidntCount: Jones is barely hurt in the cutscene following his boss fight, which makes sense because he's effectively immortal, and keeps duking it out with Jack for several minutes while the Kraken's tentacles prevent Sora's party from interfering. His demise then plays out the way it did in the movie. |
| 425 | * CombatTentacles: He can summon the Kraken's tentacles through magical portals to have them attack the party. |
| 426 | * CompleteImmortality: An [[TheAgeless ageless]] enchanted sailor boasting a truly massive pool of health; Sora and his friends give him the sort of beatdown that would put down a [[EldritchAbomination massively powerful Heartless]] or an [[HumanoidAbomination Organization member]] and it proves to be completely ineffectual after his boss fight. It takes Will and Jack stabbing his removed heart to get him to finally relent and die. |
| 427 | * TheDreaded: He is feared throughout the seven seas. |
| 428 | * FlunkyBoss: Once you get through a good portion of his health, he summons the Kraken to fight you alongside him, which have their own small health bars. |
| 429 | * TheHeartless: A more literal version than is usual in the games, whereas most of the enemies claimed to be "Heartless" mean it in a more spiritual and metaphysical sense, Davy Jones removed the actual organ in question, himself, Vexen is annoyed to find this out, as he thought Davy Jones was Heartless in ''his'' understanding of the term. |
| 430 | * HateSink: He [[AdaptationalJerkass lacks any of his movie counterpart's sympathetic qualities]], and during his confrontation with Sora, Donald and Goofy, mocks the very concept of love, and sadistically stabs Will in the chest. |
| 431 | * KnightOfCerebus: The Caribbean is largely a light-hearted pirate adventure for Sora until Jones becomes a proper threat in the world's endgame. He outright stabs Will Turner in the chest, mostly on-screen and in the process elicits ''the'' most visceral, dramatic response that Sora has ever had to a Disney Villain, let alone Donald and Goofy. The trio outright forgo their weapons and physically assault him, Sora even punching him in the head. |
| 432 | * RevisitingTheRoots: He is one of the very few straightforward Disney villain bosses in ''III'', which were mostly previously seen in ''I'' and ''II'' before the titles started more predominantly featuring Heartless and similar bosses in Disney worlds. |
| 433 | * TeleportSpam: He frequently teleports during his boss fight, being able to travel through his ship's parts. One of his trickier attacks is teleporting up from behind to give you a kick with his peg leg. |
| 434 | * UnskilledButStrong: Strangely in his boss fight itself, he tends to attack by kicking and using his claw, rather than fight with a sword. He does use it in cutscenes, however. |
| 435 | * ViolentGlaswegian: He has a thick, distinct Scottish accent made even weirder by his lack of a nose and LargeHam tendencies, and is ''vicious''. |
| 436 | * WrongContextMagic: The Seekers were keeping an eye on Jones and the Dead Man's Chest because they're fascinated by how he can still exist with his heart separated from his body. Except inside the chest is Jones's ''literal organ'' and not the series' standard metaphysical heart. When Vexen sees this, he decides that he's been wasting his time and leaves the Caribbean world annoyed. |

| 462 | Chairman of the East India Trading Company. He has come into the possession of Davy Jones’s heart, and has begun employing Jones as his personal attack dog to wipe out all pirates. |
| 463 | ---- |
| 464 | * ArcVillain: The main villain of the Caribbean from the local cast's perspective, but he ends up diminished in favor of Jones for this retelling of ''At World's End''. |
| 465 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: The power-hungry and megalomaniacal chairman of the East India Trading Company, though ''[=KH3=]'' doesn't show much of what makes him so evil. |
| 466 | * DemotedToExtra: He was the BigBad of ''At World's End'', but because ''III'' relegates much of the movie's plot to the background, his role is correspondingly diminished. Beckett never encounters Sora, and Davy Jones and Luxord both overshadow him as the world's ArcVillain. |
| 467 | * EvilBrit: He's a British colonizer and the chairman of the very British institution, the East India Trading Company. |
| 468 | * TheUnfought: Never fought in actual gameplay combat, ship or melee. |
| 469 | * VillainousBreakdown: Has the same unusually calm breakdown as in the film, as the ''Black Pearl'' and the ''Flying Dutchman'' tear the HMS ''Endeavour'' asunder. |

| 479 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chernabog_kh.png]] |
| 480 | ->'''Origin:''' ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}''\ |
| 481 | '''Appearances:''' ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI I]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance Dream Drop Distance]]'' |
| 482 | |
| 483 | 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. |
| 484 | ---- |
| 485 | * AdaptationExpansion: In a sense. His realm that Riku visits him in expands the hellish setting of Bald Mountain into a large, similarly hellish valley. In ''Fantasia'' Bald Mountain was simply a mountain in the middle of otherwise normal countryside. |
| 486 | * AnimateDead: Sends ghosts and souls of the dead after Riku to weaken him in ''Dream Drop Distance''. |
| 487 | * AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: A giant black demon that despite being sealed from the waist bellow, he can still be a inment treat to any keyblade wielder. |
| 488 | * BadassArmFold: Specializes in these, most notably when he first challenges Sora. |
| 489 | * BlowYouAway: One of his skills in his battles is having the ability to use his wings to blow back Sora or Riku from being near him. |
| 490 | * BreakoutVillain: His sheer popularity with fans and the production crew of the first game alone is what allowed him to still appear in the game in the first place, even after his story significance was removed. A decade later, he returns for ''Dream Drop Distance'' with a new arrangement of his signature theme as well. |
| 491 | * TheBusCameBack: Returns for the first time in a decade in ''Dream Drop Distance''. |
| 492 | * TheCameo: He briefly appears in the last stretch of Sora's memory restoration in the prologue of ''II'', as Sora (and by extension, Roxas) remembers him from his visit to End of the World. |
| 493 | * EvilVsEvil: In a sense. He's the god of evil but he's just as much of a victim of Ansem's Heartless invasion as anyone else since Symphony of Sorcery was evidently destroyed and it got him cast into End of the World. |
| 494 | * GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: In ''Kingdom Hearts'', there is no build-up to his presence whatsoever aside from a picture in the Traverse Town hotel that could easily be mistaken for a simple MythologyGag. It is left to the player to assume that Chernabog is in End of the World due to being transported there after the destruction of Symphony of Sorcery (which wouldn't be properly introduced until ''Dream Drop Distance'', for that matter). His appearance makes more sense in ''3D'', since we're visiting his home world. |
| 495 | * {{Hellfire}}: His preferred method of attack is to conjure the flames of perdition in various ways. |
| 496 | * LethalLavaLand: In his home world, the area around Bald Mountain is this, a hellish valley of ravines flowing with lava and smoke. |
| 497 | * LoneWolfBoss: Unaffiliated with Xehanort and the Heartless, but he still will attack anybody who happens across him all the same. |
| 498 | * MadeOfEvil: To the point he was going to be the GreaterScopeVillain and FinalBoss of the first game, and the embodiment of the darkness Sora fought in that game. |
| 499 | * NoNameGiven: He is not named in ''Kingdom Hearts'', leaving it to players who have watched his segment in ''Fantasia'' to fill in the blanks. His boss battle in ''Dream Drop Distance'', however, names him. |
| 500 | * OutsideContextVillain: He is unrelated to Xehanort or the Heartless, and thankfully appears to be confined to Symphony of Sorcery. Young Xehanort is implied to be aware of him, as he warns Riku that he's about to die just as Bald Mountain begins firing up for Chernabog to arrive. |
| 501 | * PlayingWithFire: A lot of his attacks generate fire in some form. |
| 502 | * PreFinalBoss: Chernabog is the last proper boss of ''I'' before Ansem. |
| 503 | * {{Satan}}: He is identified as Satan in the original ''Fantasia'', but was given the name "Chernabog" by marketing (which translates to "black god", leaving no illusions about who this is supposed to be). |
| 504 | * SadlyMythtaken: We can forgive you for confuding him with a pureblood heartless (being all pitch black, having yellow eyes and being encounter on an area that's near the darkness doesn't help him) but in actually, it's a Slavic God of Darkness. |
| 505 | * SealedEvilInACan: Implied. His appearance in ''Dream Drop Distance'' has him in a magical music sheet in Yen Sid's tower. Given Yen Sid's position as the BigGood of the series, it's likely that Yen Sid had him imprisoned, only for him to escape to the Realm of Darkness when the Heartless start wiping out worlds. |
| 506 | * TheSpook: Sora and Riku never learn anything about Chernabog, and are simply forced to fight off the sudden appearance of this unholy devil. |
| 507 | * StationaryBoss: Never leaves his volcano, and that's probably a good thing. |
| 508 | * TechnicolorFire: He can throw colorful fireballs around during his boss fight in ''Kingdom Hearts I''. |
| 509 | * UncertainDoom: Given how he's literally Satan, it's not at all guaranteed that Sora's defeat of him actually did anything to him. |
| 510 | * UnexpectedGameplayChange: In ''3D'', Riku must fight him using Dive Mode controls. This is possibly why you don't get to fight him in the postgame. |
| 511 | * VillainSong: Music/NightOnBaldMountain, originally composed by Modest Mussorgsky. Notable for being one of only two Disney bosses to get his own theme in the series, the other being Rinzler. He did not have it in the Japanese version of ''Kingdom Hearts'' though, but he does have it in both versions of ''Dream Drop Distance''. After ''Kingdom Hearts'' featured a synthesized arrangement of the piece, ''Dream Drop Distance'' features an arrangement more faithful to Mussorgsky's work, and this arrangement is carried over to the ''1.5'' version of ''Final Mix''. |
| 512 | * VolcanoLair: Bald Mountain is explicitly a volcano in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, at least when it appears in its' homeworld, Symphony of Sorcery. This is in contrast to its' appearance in ''Fantasia'' as it appears to just be a normal mountain, albeit one that becomes a supernatural hellhole on Walpurgis Night. When Chernabog is defeated in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and disappears, Bald Mountain is left an empty, inactive husk. In Symphony of Sorcery, Bald Mountain is found as the main feature of a large, hellish volcanic valley. |
| 513 | * WeakenedByTheLight: When Chernabog is defeated in the first game, he rears up in pain, and is suddenly struck by a mysterious pillar of light. Chernabog then disappears with it. |
| 514 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It’s not known exactly what happens to him when he is defeated by Sora, only that he is removed from Bald Mountain by the pillar of light. |
| 515 | * WingedHumanoid: The wings are largely for show, as he mercifully never flies, not even in Riku's fight with him where the arena is large enough that he ''could'' if he wanted to. |

| 542 | 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. |
| 543 | ---- |
| 544 | * AnimalMotif: Hawks or raptor birds. |
| 545 | * ArcVillain: He's the enemy commander for Sora's first visit to the Land of Dragons. |
| 546 | * AttackAnimal: His bird, Hayabusa. |
| 547 | * BattleAura: He gains a black and purple aura at various points in his boss fight. |
| 548 | * BladeLock: A reaction command you can do with him. |
| 549 | * BoomHeadshot: Only in the Manga, courtesy of Xigbar. |
| 550 | %%* BossBanter: This makes a large part of his speaking role. |
| 551 | %%-->'''Shan Yu:''' "You think you can overpower ''ME''!!??" |
| 552 | * CoolSword: It appears to be a very large kris. |
| 553 | * DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Blown up by fireworks in the film he comes from, dies upon defeat in the game, and for the manga... |
| 554 | * FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: In the manga, he makes a deal with Xigbar in exchange for power. When he fails and pleads for more, Xigbar comes to the conclusion that he isn't worth the trouble and promptly ''shoots him in the head, '''point blank'''''. What makes this even worse is the fact that even Sora winces at it. |
| 555 | * 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. |
| 556 | * 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. |
| 557 | %%* GoodWeaponEvilWeapon: Definitely an evil weapon. |
| 558 | * HorseOfADifferentColor: In the manga, as opposed to visiting Land of Dragons later on. He rides the Stormrider Heartless, marking another similarity to Clayton. |
| 559 | * KneelBeforeZod: See his quote above. Aside from his battle quotes, and "Attack" which he yells during the recreation of the avalanche scene, it's his only spoken line in the game. |
| 560 | * ShockwaveStomp: One of the abilities the darkness gives him is a short-range version. |
| 561 | * SpinAttack: And he usually follows it up with one of these. |
| 562 | * StarterVillain: Plays a similar role to Clayton's purpose from the original game in the sequel. |
| 563 | * UncertainDoom: When Sora, Mulan, and friends defeat Shan-Yu, the villain is merely shown collapsing off the edge of the screen. The next scene is essentially a resolution for Mulan's storyline, and there is no indication whether Shan-Yu perished in the battle or simply fainted from exhaustion and physical injury. |

| 573 | ---- |
| 574 | * AttackAnimal: TruthInTelevision, training falcons was, and still is, common among central Asian nomad groups. |
| 575 | * ADogNamedDog: Hayabusa is Japanese for "Peregrine Falcon", which is odd seeing as the Land of Dragons is China. |
| 576 | * DualBoss: With Shan Yu, though, due to his light damage output, fast movement, and tiny hitbox, it's likely a player with focus more on Shan Yu and the Heartless he summons. |

| 580 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Has a big case of this; Hayabusa doesn't need to be be beaten in Shan Yu's boss fight (and it's unlikely a player will do so), and it's never shown if the falcon simply flew off or died. |

| 591 | '''Origin:''' ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}''\ |
| 592 | '''Appearances:''' ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Birth by Sleep]]'' | ''Union χ (Cross)'' |
| 593 | Lady Tremaine is mother by blood of Anastasia and Drizella. Keeping Cinderella as a slave, she will do anything to ensure her two daughters' own success. |
| 594 | ---- |
| 595 | * AdaptationalKarma: Unpunished in the film, but here, she succumbs to ThePowerOfHate and tries to kill her stepdaughter, triggering her KarmicDeath or [[KarmicTransformation Transformation]]. |
| 596 | * ADayInTheLimelight: She is given more focus than Cinderella during Aqua's visit, mainly to show that she's an irredeemable monster and more than deserving of [[AmbiguousSituation whatever happened to her]]. |
| 597 | * ArcVillainess: She's the main antagonist of the Castle of Dreams. |
| 598 | * AssholeVictim: She, along with her daughters below, becomes this when the Unversed they send to murder Cinderella out of hatred drops a bomb on them as they laugh at her in sadism. It is unknown if they went directly to Hell or became Heartless. |
| 599 | * BaitAndSwitchBoss: For a moment, it looks like Aqua would end up in a four against one battle against the Tremaine family and the Cursed Coach (similar to Barbossa and the Illuminator). Instead, he blows them up. |
| 600 | * CatsAreMean: [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast She named her cat Lucifer]]. |
| 601 | * CreateYourOwnVillain: A huge twisted example of what having too much light can be a real detriment, Cinderella is ''so'' good and selfless that Tremaine allowed her jealousy and insecurity to grasp hold and allow her to be MadeOfEvil and want to kill her in the end. |
| 602 | * DarkIsEvil: She has more than enough darkness in her heart for Aqua to detect instantly... and plot her assassination. It is heavily implied that she has no light in her heart. |
| 603 | ** The Fairy Godmother states that she hates Cinderella because of her charm and beauty, and given a comment by the Grand Duke during Terra's scenario, said hatred and jealousy may have summoned ''[[TheManBehindTheMonsters Vanitas himself]]''. |
| 604 | * DeathByAdaptation: In the original movie, nothing bad ever happens to her. In ''Birth by Sleep'', she gets blown up by the Cursed Coach. Though since Aqua pointed out that "the darkness in their hearts overtook them", Tremaine probably suffered a FateWorseThanDeath. |
| 605 | ** [[SparedByTheAdaptation However]], she and her daughters are alive/still human at the end of Unchained-χ's version of the plot, and they never even attack her upon freedom, though, considering that version of the world is an illusion for gathering Lux, it probably doesn't count. |
| 606 | * DisproportionateRetribution: When her daughters are not picked to dance with Prince Charming, who instead dances with "some random girl who just showed up", Lady Tremaine summons dozens of Unversed, including the Symphony Master, to kill everyone at the ball. |
| 607 | * EvilLaugh: Tremaine gives out a ''very'' sadistic evil laugh when she tried to murder her step-daughter. |
| 608 | * EvilOldFolks: ''Woo boy howdy''. |
| 609 | * FateWorseThanDeath: Implied by Aqua's statement that "the darkness in their hearts overtook them". |
| 610 | * HateSink: Lady Tremaine is up there with Scar, Clu, and Hans as one of the few villains who is even ''worse'' in this continuity, since she never bothered to murder Cinderella or attempt a hate-induced massacre on the ball in the films. The events of the "Castle of Dreams" ends with her damnation. |
| 611 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Lady Tremaine having brought the Cursed Coach to life, it begins attacking Cinderella with pumpkin bombs. Unfortunately for the stepfamily, they are so consumed with seeing Cinderella suffer that they fail to notice one stray pumpkin bomb fall on top of them and blow them up. [[SoundOnlyDeath Their death happens off-screen, with only their doomed screams coming from within the explosion indicating what happened to them.]] |
| 612 | * IfICantHaveYou: A non-romantic example: Tremaine's refusal to allow her step-daughter to live happily ever after triggers the summoning of the Cursed Coach. |
| 613 | ** Also happens with the Symphony Master. Its journal entry implies that she unwittingly summoned it and other Unversed to massacre the entire ballroom out of anger towards the Prince dancing with an unknown girl (Cinderella). |
| 614 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Can't stand to see Cinderella happy, going out of her way to sabotage her efforts even when it would technically benefit her the most (Cindy's her step-daughter, even if she gets the prince), which eventually leads to her [[NoKillLikeOverkill bringing about a monster in order to kill her so she can never be happy]], all because Cinderella didn't follow her petty rule. |
| 615 | * KarmaHoudini: Her famous status of this in the original movies is actually avoided here, as her last scene features her, Anastasia, and Drizella presumably ''killed'' by an Unversed. |
| 616 | * KarmicDeath: If the three of them died, which they arguably deserved in the first place, they were killed by the very Unversed set upon Cinderella. |
| 617 | * KillItWithFire: She gets firebombed to death or Heartless transformation by the monster she summoned. Its very cathartic, to say the least. |
| 618 | * KinslayingIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Lady Tremaine's willingness to attack her second husband's only child out of cold hatred and strong envy is one reason why Aqua considers her heart overtaken by darkness. |
| 619 | * LastNameBasis: She's only known as "Lady Tremaine", as in the films. |
| 620 | * MadeOfEvil: Has enough darkness in her heart to be considered this in the eyes of Aqua. It is also implied by the Fairy Godmother that Lady Tremaine's heart is 100% darkness. |
| 621 | %%* ManipulativeBastard |
| 622 | * NeverSayDie: The final fate of Tremaine and her daughters is, according to Aqua, "The Darkness in their hearts overtook them." Then again, it can also just be a way to say "they brought it on themselves". |
| 623 | * ParentalFavoritism: If it were possible, ''Birth by Sleep'' actually pushes this trope even further. |
| 624 | * ThePowerOfHate: Tremaine's hatred towards Cinderella is what allowed her to summon the Cursed Coach. The journal entry for the Symphony Master even states it was created out of her anger for the Prince not picking one of her daughters, implying an upcoming massacre had Terra not stopped it. |
| 625 | ** It is implied that Vanitas struck an alliance with her, as the Grand Duke tells Terra that he was spotted in the castle when the Unversed first showed up. |
| 626 | * RightHandCat: Who's even a boss battle! |
| 627 | * {{Sadist}}: Just [[SlasherSmile LOOK at her face]] when the Cursed Coach tries to murder Cinderella. |
| 628 | %%* SmugSnake |
| 629 | * SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Tremaine enslaved Cinderella as a child, and treated her as nothing but a scullery maid. Aqua almost ''assassinates'' her for this. |
| 630 | * TheSociopath: She was already one in the films, but she's much worse in this canon, being willing to use the Unversed to murder anyone who either gets in her way, outlives their usefulness, or just out of pure spite. Poor Cinderella fits all three quotas. |
| 631 | * StarterVillain: For Aqua in ''Birth by Sleep'', even though Aqua barely loses her chance to directly fight her. |
| 632 | * TheUnfought: The pre-battle cutscene implies Aqua would be fighting Lady Tremaine for attacking Cinderella out of hatred. The Cursed Coach drops a bomb on her instead. In ''Kingdom Hearts Unchained X'', the darkness in her heart summons [[https://www.khwiki.com/Mean_Maiden Mean Maiden]], a Heartless that looks like a twisted version of her, who also has its own RightHandCat. |
| 633 | * TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: Tremaine may look like a well-off grandmother figure, but she enslaved her stepdaughter out of spite, raised her daughters to become sociopathic fiends, and has no problems with burning a whole kingdom down (and risk being hanged for high treason) because the Prince didn't pick her daughters. Essencially, she and her daughters are [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons in human form]]. |
| 634 | * VillainousBreakdown: Lady Tremaine obviously doesn't care about what happens to her (which, because of the Grand Duke's presence, is most likely execution for murder, high treason, and possibly heresy), just as long as she makes sure Cinderella is killed. |
| 635 | * WickedStepmother: Very cruel to Cinderella, just like in the original film. |

| 644 | Cinderella's evil step-sisters. Sadistically and murderously cruel, they want nothing more than to bring misery to anyone they encounter, especially Cinderella herself. |
| 645 | ---- |
| 646 | * AdaptationalKarma: Unlike in the film, they do not get away with abusing Cinderella because they succumbed to hatred as she was leaving, leading to their deaths or transformation into Heartless. |
| 647 | * AdaptationalJerkass: Alongside their mother, they are much worse in this adaptation. For example, when they see the prince dance with Cinderella at the ball, instead of expressing awe like in the film, they're get murderously angry and summon the Unversed. |
| 648 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Anastasia in the sequels turned into the TokenGoodTeammate of her family, eventually pulling a HeelFaceTurn that showed she was good deep down; here, she is just as evil as the rest of her family and her heart is pure darkness. |
| 649 | * AlphaBitch: They are snobs, after all. |
| 650 | * ArcVillainess: They're one along with their mother for the Castle of Dreams. |
| 651 | * AssholeVictims: They end up facing AdaptationalKarma and everyone doesn't care if they're dead or turned into Heartless. |
| 652 | * BaitAndSwitchBoss: The pre-battle cutscene gives an implication that Aqua will be fighting all three Tremaines and the Cursed Coach. Instead, the Curse Coach blows them up with bombs. |
| 653 | * TheBully: They're mainly a way to torture Cinderella in the story. |
| 654 | * CainAndAbel: Female examples. By the time Cinderella wins her freedom, Drizella and Anastasia attack her with the intention of murder out of pure hatred. They fail because of Aqua's presence, and lose their hearts (and possibly their lives) to the darkness. |
| 655 | * DarkIsEvil: Like their mother, they have mostly darkness in their hearts, so much of it so that Aqua decided to kill them. It is heavily implied that much like Vanitas, they have absolutely no light within their hearts. |
| 656 | * DeathByAdaptation: In the movie, nothing bad happens to them. In ''Birth by Sleep'', they get burned alive by the Cursed Coach, with their fates left unknown. |
| 657 | * DreadfulMusician: Both of them, based on their journal entries. Drizella can't sing despite the costly classes she takes, and Anastasia takes pride in her flautist skills, despite being the ''worst'' flautist in the universe. |
| 658 | * DrivenByEnvy: Their attempted murder of Cinderella, at the cost of what little humanity they had left (if they even ''[[TheSociopath had]]'' any), all out of her [[NiceGirl charm]], [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold beauty]], [[RagsToRoyalty winning the Prince]], and being freed from their tyranny. |
| 659 | * EvilDiva: Drizella being pure evil, she can be considered one, even though we never hear her sing. |
| 660 | * EvilRedhead: Anastasia, very much so. |
| 661 | * FatalFlaw: Hatred. They resent Cinderella because of her grace and beauty, but it's her winning the Prince's hand in marriage that sends them over the edge that leads to the Cursed Coach being summoned to murder her and putting the ''universe'' into grave danger[[labelnote:why]]Cinderella is a Princess of Heart, and her stepsisters have no light in their hearts.

| 663 | * KinslayingIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Trying to kill their stepfather's remaining kin is the cause of their permanent fall to darkness, and thus, a target of the Unversed. |
| 664 | * MadeOfEvil: It's implied that their hearts lack any light, making them foils to [[LightIsGood Cinderella]], who's a Princess of Heart. |
| 665 | * ThePowerOfHate: Their hatred towards Cinderella is what allowed them to summon the Cursed Coach and the Symphony Master, both for murderous reasons. |
| 666 | * SiblingRivalry: To each other mostly, but most heartlessly to Cinderella, to the point where they are willing to kill her after she is freed from their tyranny. |
| 667 | * SlasherSmile: They both give one of these to Cinderella as they try to murder her, indicating that they've finally given into darkness without a chance of redemption. |
| 668 | * TheSociopath: Both of them are highly selfish, hateful, lack empathy, prideful to their non-existent skills, and are willing to murder anyone to get their way. |
| 669 | * StarterVillain: For Aqua in ''Birth by Sleep''. |
| 670 | * TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: They look like normal, if a bit gonky, teenage girls. In reality, they're [[TheSociopath sociopaths]] who abuse and exploit everyone, and [[NotGoodWithRejection respond to being rejected by the Prince]] by sending the Unverse to kill [[IfICantHaveYou him]], [[TheKingslayer his father]], and [[LeaveNoWitnesses everyone else in the castle]]. And when Cinderella wins her freedom, they pretty much turn into ''[[DemonOfHumanOrigin demons]]'' in their attempt to murder her. |

In Sora's Story, they kidnap Minnie as per the film, while in Riku's Story, they hold on to the wench part that is needed to disarm a trap for Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. |

| 764 | * GetBackHereBoss: When confronted by Riku, they hide themselves within the Backstage area, forcing Riku to find them. though, they do stand and fight when caught. |

| 766 | * NoNameGiven: The most they get is typically "Small/Medium/Big Beagle Boy." |
| 767 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Based on their outward appearance, no one should take them seriously, however, the not-so-harmless nature of Pete has seemingly rubbed off on them, with the smallest Beagle in particular expressing the most glee in committing villainy. |
| 768 | * SequentialBoss: Somewhat, they attack you during the first phase of Pete's boss fight, and need to be launched at him to force him to come down to the arena, once some time passes, Pete will go right back up and the Beagle Boys will recover, which can happen at least twice (or even more if you let it) during the fight. |
| 769 | * TerribleTrio: A group of three criminals who work under Pete and enjoy being evil. |
| 770 | * ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Right after Sora fights off the [[YourSizeMayVary unusually large]] Tyranto Rex, the Small Beagle throws his rapier at him to make him fall off the stagecoach. |
| 771 | * UnskilledButStrong: Their swordsmanship is fairly sloppy, all things considered, but they do decent damage, can move fairly quick, and can break through combos if you pressure them for too long. |
| 772 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Since they are fairly light enemies, the Gravity series of spells makes fighting them especially easy, though in turn it makes them confused and less predictable, slightly upping the chances of being hit once they're out of it. |

| 783 | A ruthless and self-righteous justice minister who is Quasimodo's reluctant guardian, seeing the evil he commits to be for the greater good. |
| 784 | ---- |
| 785 | * AbusiveParent: Or at least an abusive version of TheCaretaker for Quasimodo. |
| 786 | * AlasPoorVillain: Riku seems to pity Frollo for having fallen too far to the darkness, admitting it’s a lost cause to try to reason with him. Ansem also warns Riku that Frollo’s fate was entirely avoidable had he not failed to come to terms with his darkness. |
| 787 | * ControlFreak: According to Esmeralda during her talk with Riku, a big reason Frollo hates Romanis is because he can't control them the same way he controls everyone else in Paris. |
| 788 | %%* CoolSword: Brandishes one in cutscenes but is unfortunately TheUnfought. |
| 789 | * DarkIsEvil: Openly uses his darkness, assuming it to be a gift from God, during his purge of the Romani. Surprisingly, Sora was able to ''walk past him'' without detecting it, a contrast to Lady Tremaine and her daughters in ''Birth by Sleep'' and Hans in ''III'', whose [[MadeOfEvil darkness]] were ''immediately'' detected by Aqua and Sora, respectively. |
| 790 | * DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Averted in Sora's scenario where his death plays out the same way as it does in the movie. Riku's scenario has it play out a bit differently though. |
| 791 | * 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. |
| 792 | * DrunkOnTheDarkSide: In Riku's story when he's gifted with the Wargoyle, believing it to be a divine gift to aid in his crusade, he grows increasingly insane and goes off the handle. |
| 793 | * EvilCounterpart: Riku recognizes Frollo as one to himself. Like Riku, Frollo fell to the dark side committing terrible things believing himself to be doing the right thing. What sets them apart is that Riku has the sanity to pull back when he gets too deep into the darkness; whereas Frollo is too insane with bigotry and lust to recognize his own flaws. Frollo’s nature also means he has no friends who he loves that can serve as morality pets, unlike Riku who had Sora and Kairi. Ansem even warns Riku that failing to reconcile with the darkness inside him will lead him down the same path Frollo took that led to his death. |
| 794 | * EvilOldFolks: An elderly man and one of the most vile creations Disney has put to film. |
| 795 | * HangingJudge: If you're a Romani, you're getting burned. |
| 796 | * 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. |
| 797 | * {{Hypocrite}}: "I am a virtuous man! Good and evil shall be made plain!" says Frollo as he ''literally radiates an evil aura''. |
| 798 | * IfICantHaveYou: It's immensely downplayed compared to the film. |
| 799 | * InsaneTrollLogic: He assumes Sora is Romani simply because of his unusual clothes. This makes even less sense considering Sora neither looks nor dresses anything like the Romani. He also believes the Wargoyle serving him is a gift from God to smite the Romani with, and by the end of Riku's story is so insane he thinks falling to his death is a ''good'' thing. |
| 800 | * KirkSummation: Subverted. In ''Dream Drop Distance'', when Riku asks Esmeralda if Frollo was always an evil bigot and tries to locate him in order to speak with him, it is subtly implied that Riku intends to try to reason with Frollo, having fallen into the darkness once himself. However, when Riku sees Frollo trying to burn down a villager's home because the inhabitant was suspected of harboring Romani, he concludes the man is so deranged that he will [[ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer ultimately have to stopped by force.]] |
| 801 | * LaughingMad: Once he really starts going off the deep end, he can be heard cackling to himself often. |
| 802 | * LighterAndSofter: Downplayed, as he's still just as monstrous as he was in the film, but here, Frollo is seen acting more to enforce his interpretation of the law and mostly adapting out his religious and lustful motivations from the film. |
| 803 | * NonHumanSidekick: The Wargoyle, which replaces Captain Phoebus as his [[TheDragon Dragon]]. |
| 804 | * ObliviousToTheirOwnDescription: Like in the film, he has no idea that he's calling God to smite ''him''. |
| 805 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He absolutely loathes the Romani and intends to slaughter them. |
| 806 | * SanitySlippage: In Riku's story he notably becomes more unhinged as the story goes on, even going LaughingMad. He doesn't even try to save himself from falling to his death and instead dies happy that judgement is his. |
| 807 | * SinisterMinister: Although he seems more intent on law (or his interpretation of it) than religion. |
| 808 | * SummonMagic: The darkness in his heart allows him to call Dream Eaters which he believes is a divine power granted by God. |
| 809 | * TheUnfought: While he's the main antagonist of La Cité des Cloches, he's never fought himself. Sora and Riku instead fight the Wargoyle under his command. |

| 840 | A gigantic monstrous version of Pete created by Dr. Frankenollie. He shows up in the Dream World version of Traverse Town as a {{Superboss}}. |
| 841 | ---- |
| 842 | * AmbiguousSituation: The fact that he appears in Traverse Town, means that his world lost its heart to the Heartles. Wherever that means he (along with Frankenoille) ended up in Traverse Town since the first game, or it's somehow manage to make it's way to Traverse Town during the sleeping worlds is up to debate. |
| 843 | * TheBerserker: A huge, raging boss who constantly plows anything in his way without thinking. |
| 844 | * CatsAreMean: A vicious and nasty brawler resembling Pete who is also an example of this. |
| 845 | * DamageSpongeBoss: Has 12 bars of HP, much more than any other boss and easily outdoing the FinalBoss. |
| 846 | * DePower: While electrified, he can lock away the commands used by Sora and Riku. |
| 847 | * DuelBoss: To even the odds, your Dream Eaters are forced to sit the fight out, so the only consideration when choosing your party members are what abilities they give you. |
| 848 | * ElementalPunch: When charged up, his punches release bursts of electricity. |
| 849 | * {{Expy}}: He's basically a gigantic Pete but far more vicious, bloodthirsty and more menacing. |
| 850 | * FrankensteinsMonster: A patchwork artificial monster who is empowered by lightning. |
| 851 | * FightingClown: In spirit at least. Similar to his other iterations (Pete and Past-Pete) His attacks are far goofier looking than many other fights. In this series where you've fought master swordsmen and final bosses from future games, Julius is a big (if monstrous) cartoon bruiser who uses bouncing butt stomps, wrestling moves, bad breath and charges that end with audible tire skidding sounds. Despite all this, his [[UnskilledButStrong relentless speed and strength tend to make players consider him ranked higher than many of the others in the series as a whole.]] |
| 852 | * HandicappedBadass: He has a peg leg. Suffice to say, it doesn't slow him down one bit. |
| 853 | * InterfaceScrew: If he is electrified, he can temporarily lock away one of your commands when he climbs, and then jumps down from the building, bouncing towards you in the arena you fight him in. Hope the command isn't from the "Cure" series. |
| 854 | * LightningBruiser: He hits ''hard'', and surprisingly fast for someone his size. |
| 855 | * ShockAndAwe: Once you knock half his health off he charges himself with lightning, making all of his attacks even more deadly. |
| 856 | * ShoutOut: His Bad Breath Grab attack is lifted directly, random statuses and all, from Final Fantasy mainstay [[DemonicSpider enemies]], The Malboros. He's the first Disney Superboss to get such a directly transplanted attack. |
| 857 | * StatusEffects: If he grabs you, prepare to be [[HumiliationConga ravaged by almost every negative status effect in the game]]. Going in without at least Blindness Block is unwise. |
| 858 | * {{Superboss}}: An optional boss fight in ''Dream Drop Distance'' that can be fought in Traverse Town once the story is completed. He has a lot of health and is very difficult. |
| 859 | * UnskilledButStrong: His attacks are basic, but very effective. |
| 860 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: Using punches, elbow drops, charging tackles, and a punch barrage close to a spinning clothesline. |
| 861 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Despite his incredible strength, speed, gimmick, and HP, he's very susceptible to the Balloon series of spells. since he homes in on you and the balloons can act as mines and homing projectiles, he'll take a substantial amount of damage and occasionally be stunned as long as one keeps a relatively safe distance away and avoid his more unstoppable moves while casting. |

| 870 | A gigantic whale, big enough to be considered a world, and big enough to eat ships whole, including Gummi ships. |
| 871 | ---- |
| 872 | * AdaptationalBadass: Monstro in the original film was already the definition of a literal monster, being large enough to swallow entire ships and agile enough to leap several feet into the air; despite this however, he's still just an abnormally large and ferocious sea mammal. Nothing in the movie suggested that he could swim through space without the need for oxygen. |
| 873 | * AdaptationalHeroism: An incredible SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome involving the character occurs in ''Dream Drop Distance''. Right from the start of his battle with the FinalBoss of Prankster's Paradise, Sora struggles to contend with the Chill Crawbster as he is unable to fly at that point, making it difficult for him to get within range of the creature to strike it effectively. Then, to the surprise of many, Monstro shows up to ''help Sora out'' and stays by the young Keyblader's side until the battle is over. Considering that he was frozen solid by The Chill Crawbster beforehand, this could also count as both an example of TheDogBitesBack and EnemyMine. |
| 874 | * BonusStage: While he is unavoidable, he doesn't need to be completed in order to beat ''Kingdom Hearts I''. |

However, being the loony tyrant that she is, she adds her own "evidence" and forces you to choose randomly from one of the five boxes which evidence you'll submit. If you choose the wrong box, she'll lock up either Donald or Goofy, making her boss battle a little harder. |

| 896 | * FlunkyBoss: She's no threat, it's her card soldiers you have to look out for, and even then they are easy to deal with. |
| 897 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: The reason she goes after Alice is because the Heartless wanted her heart so badly. This not only foreshadows that she knows what a heart is in the greater context of ''Kingdom Hearts'', but also that she has a particularly strong heart as well. Which makes sense seeing as she is the Queen of Hearts. |
| 898 | * GoofyPrintUnderwear: If struck in the boss fight, she flips upside-down revealing these. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Even some of the Heart cards will stop to laugh at her]]. |
| 899 | * HangingJudge: Seems very prone to immediately ordering the decapitation |
| 900 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: The Wonderland subplot in ''Chain of Memories'' is driven by her suffering this and blaming Alice for it. |
| 901 | * OffhandBackhand: Does a weak version of one if Sora mounts the rim of her booth and doesn't hit her first during her boss fight. |
| 902 | * PerpetualFrowner: Often frowning by default, ''Days'' in particular only ever has her use an angry talk sprite despite the existence of unused smiling talk sprites in the game's data. |
| 903 | * ShipTease: With Luxord, of all people, in the ''Days'' Manga adaptation. |
| 904 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Though "good man" may not be the right term to refer to Luxord, she nonetheless falls for him after he chivalrously displays sympathy and kindness towards her by building her a new castle made of cards after Roxas and Luxord had destroyed her previous one as part of a mission. She even remarks upon what a gentleman he is after he departs. |
| 905 | * TokenHeroicOrc: Downplayed; she's still a ruthless and ill-tempered ruler, but also the only Disney villain who is aligned with the Light rather with the Darkness. |

| 912 | ->''"WHERE IS THE BEAST!?"'' |
| 913 | ->'''Origin:''' ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast''\ |
| 914 | '''Appearances:''' ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX χ]]'' |
| 915 | |
| 916 | A dashing and handsome (but also incredibly dull) hunter who was trying to court Belle (to no avail) before she got caught up with Beast. His growing frustrations that at both Belle's rejections and finding out that she's in love with The Beast drive him down the path of darkness to get revenge, eventually bringing about the Enraged Elk Heartless. |
| 917 | |
| 918 | Intriguingly, despite having an important role in the original movie, he never appeared in his world in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' or anywhere else until the movie's retelling in ''X'', a whopping eight years after the release of ''II''. |
| 919 | ---- |
| 920 | * DisneyVillainDeath: Just like in the film, he falls to his death [[TheEndOrIsIt ...Or did he?]] Since the hero of the game never actually visited his world in the first place, its entirely possible he could appear again, similar to Frollo and CLU. |
| 921 | * EvilIsNotAToy: Subverted, He loses himself to his anger and leads an army of heartless into Beast's castle; as he's beating The Beast that darkness separates himself from him to become the Enraged Elk, like Tremaine and Frollo. |
| 922 | * EvilIsPetty: Just like in the film, the only real reason he has to go after Beast at all is because he feels he is entitled to have Belle and is being passed over for the Beast. |
| 923 | * TheFightingNarcissist: He's a very self-centered, egoistic brute with a handsome look and he's willing to get his hands dirty on anyone, especially the player and the Beast, if they don't acknowledge it, all to have Belle for himself. |
| 924 | * TheUnfought: The returning theme of Disney Villains being unfought in favor of a monster they brought about is revisited here. In Gaston's case, it a brutish phantom in his likeness called the Enraged Elk. |
| 925 | * RuleOfSymbolism: The Heartless that is fought because of his darkness at the end of his story, The Enraged Elk, resembles a giant phantom version of himself from the waist-up wearing a deer skull and wielding a club. Of course, it represents how much of a monster Gaston himself has become (though one has to wonder why he didn't just transform into the Heartless outright). |
| 926 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute[=/=]{{Foil}}: To Clayton. |
| 927 | ** Both are hunters who are taken by darkness in a moment of weakness involving their pride (Clayton being desperate to hunt gorillas, Gaston being infuriated at being rejected by Belle.) |
| 928 | ** Lead an army of Heartless to accomplish their goals, and spawn a larger Heartless when confronted. |
| 929 | ** As a {{Foil}}, aside from being a DualBoss versus being TheUnfought, Gaston is a popular guy with many friends, while Clayton was described as being a friendless, bitter man. |

| 937 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JPManoux (English), Yutaka Aoyama (Japanese) |
| 938 | ->'''Origin:''' ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1'' (2001)\ |
| 939 | '''Appears in:''' ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII III]]'' |
| 940 | A monster exiled to the human world by Sulley, Mike, and Boo after a conspiracy with Waternoose. However, when the XIII Seekers of Darkness have their eyes set on Monstropolis, Randall is freed while Sora and co. journey through the door storage. |
| 941 | ---- |
| 942 | * AdaptationalContextChange: The game changed the circumstances behind his return to Monstropolis. In ''WesternAnimation/MonstersAtWork'', [[spoiler:Johnny Worthington III of Fear Co., his old college fraternity brother, found him and brought him back to the Monster World to help him sabotage Monsters, Inc.]]. In the game, Vanitas fixes Randall's door and lets him come back to take over M.I. for himself. |
| 943 | * ArcVillain: He takes over the factory in Monstropolis, though he's only a part of Vanitas's scheme to revive himself. |
| 944 | * BroadStrokes: The comic continuation to ''Monsters, Inc.'' had Randall briefly escape exile until he was caught again at the end of the comic's run. It also just so happened to be partly caused by a crossover event (thanks to the antics of Sid from ''Toy Story'', to be specific). |
| 945 | * EvilIsPetty: More or less the reason he's helping Vanitas is because he wants to one up Sulley in success. |
| 946 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: After the Lump of Horror Unversed is defeated, Randall is surprised by Sulley and reluctantly leaves without fighting further. |
| 947 | * ReptilesAreAbhorrent: A six legged cross between a chameleon and a salamander, who's not above scarring children with dangerous creatures. |
| 948 | * SoreLoser: He loudly complains when the Lump of Horror is defeated, and swears that he'll return someday and take over Monstropolis before being banished back to the same trailer he was sent to at the end of the movie. |
| 949 | * StatusQuoIsGod: He's sent back to the trailer he was sent to at the end of the movie. |
| 950 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Mike and Sulley of all characters, do this once his first attempt to summon an Unversed fails, despite the guy hijacking machines left and right, directing all the enemies, and having nearly strangled Sully to death once already. |
| 951 | * TheUnfought: Despite having his speed and invisibility from the movie, Randall is not a boss at any point during the visit to the world. |
| 952 | * UnwittingPawn: Vanitas uses Randall's desire for revenge to turn Monsters Inc. back into using children's scream as an energy source. With a source of children's negative emotions and their heart broken, Vanitas will be able to gather an army of Heartless and Unversed, in addition of regaining his strength. |
| 953 | * VillainHasAPoint: As selfishly ambitious and envious as his motivations were, Randall is kind of spot on when he points out how laughter, while excessively powerful, is generally not consistently sustainable, and has to account for a ton of variables. Negative emotions by contrast, are very lingering, especially when due to trauma or mental issues. Subverted, as it only really serves to underline how chillingly messed up the methods he uses are. |

| 959 | [[caption-width-right:283:You want me to be the bad guy? Fine. Now I'm the bad guy.]] |
| 960 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Donna Murphy |
| 961 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII III]]'' |
| 962 | An old woman who kidnapped baby Rapunzel and raised her as her own, in order to keep Rapunzel's healing magic all to herself to remain young and beautiful. |
| 963 | ---- |
| 964 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: While Gothel has always [[StatuesqueStunner been a looker]], ''Kingdom Hearts 3'' gives her an even more robust body and younger appearence. |
| 965 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Not her human form, but her heartless form, intentional or not, to the version of Mother Gothel as seen in "Once Upon A Time". The live-action Gothel and the Grim Guardianess Heartless both exhibit GreenThumb powers, something that the animated version did not. Additionally, the OUAT version at her defeat is reverted into a tree, and the Guardianess heartless has mostly tree features. |
| 966 | * ArcVillainess: Plays the same role in Corona as she did in her movie, but from Sora's perspective, she's overshadowed by Marluxia. |
| 967 | * DemotedToExtra: In ''Tangled'', Gothel is the BigBad who acts as a manipulator who not only emotionally manipulates Rapunzel, but she also tricks the Stabbington Brothers into retrieving Rapunzel and then has them and Eugene arrested. Here, Eugene's arrest is orchestrated by Marluxia to whom she answers to, being used as a pawn to look after Rapunzel until he and his fellow Seekers may have need of her, and then is turned into a heartless by Marluxia. [[MindControlEyes Her eyes turning pink]] also imply that Marluxia used mind-control on her. |
| 968 | * DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: A downplayed example. While she does still age into nothingness, she is immediately transformed into a heartless soon after and taken down by Sora, Donald and Goofy. |
| 969 | * DisneyVillainDeath: In the film, after Eugene cuts Rapunzel's hair, Mother Gothel rapidly ages into dust and stumbles out of the tower's window in panic, her cloak being the only thing left behind. In this version, the same events occur, only with a giant monster being left behind as well. |
| 970 | * KarmicTransformation: For a given value of "transformation"; the long, twisting form of the Grim Guardianess and its bent limbs with stubby fingers that form after the Heartless is born create a resemblance to a chameleon (likely a nod to Pascal, who contributed to her death in the film), while her tail itself falls out of the sphere of darkness in such a way that it looks just like Rapunzel's hair falling from the tower window. |
| 971 | * MorphicResonance: The Grim Guardianess' canopy resembles her hairstyle. |
| 972 | * OneWingedAngel: After her DisneyVillainDeath, her heart is transformed into an enormous Heartless by Marluxia. |
| 973 | * PersonalityPowers: Her Heartless is able to entrap Sora in flowers to slam him into the ground, corner him with a cage of roots, and wrap around the tower; fitting for someone whose M.O. revolved around indefinitely keeping someone in captivity. |
| 974 | * TheUnfought: As with Hans in the same game, this is played with by providing a battle with a thematically-designed monster spawned from and arguably counting as a transformed incarnation of her, but bearing little to no direct resemblance with the woman herself. |
| 975 | * WhenTreesAttack: The Grim Guardianess, Gothel's tree-like Heartless transformation. |

| 983 | A prince from the Southern Isles and Princess Anna's fiancé. |
| 984 | ---- |
| 985 | * AdaptationalBadass: An odd example. Thanks to the lack of any soldiers or Weselton goons, Hans apperently managed to knock out Elsa offscreen and carry her all the way back down the mountain back to Arendale ''singlehandedly!'' |
| 986 | * ArcVillain: Subverted. While he plays the same role as he did in ''Frozen'', he gets less focus than even Mother Gothel and Cutler Beckett, to the point he's a non-entity in this version of the story beyond kidnapping Elsa and spawning the final boss of Arendelle. |
| 987 | * DeathByAdaptation: Zig-Zagged. In "WesternAnimation/FrozenFever", Hans is shown having shoveling manure in the stables as part of his punishment for his crimes. Since he doesn't appear after the battle with Sköll, and since it came from Hans, it can be assumed its destruction means that Hans is dead. |
| 988 | * DemotedToExtra: Although he plays a major role in the movie, he only has two very short appearances in the Kingdom Hearts version of the story: Sora and co. only see him when they come across him carrying Elsa back to the kingdom and when he attempts to kill Elsa. [[TheVoiceless He doesn't even have any lines.]] |
| 989 | * EvilMakesYouMonstrous: After his failed attempt to kill Elsa leaves him unconscious, he gets consumed by the darkness in his heart and transforms into the Heartless Sköll, a gigantic wolf made of ice and darkness. |
| 990 | * KillTheLights: Manages to pull this off while unconscious and possibly ''dead'' with the spawning of Sköll, who plunges Arendelle into darkness and takes Sora and his friends into a void with no light. |
| 991 | * MadeOfEvil: InformedAttribute; Sora can DetectEvil upon seeing him, and a particularly powerful Heartless boss is spawned from him as soon as he is physically incapacitated, but the man himself is shown demonstrating his own wickedness very little within the game, which is counting on players to be aware of the full storyline of ''Frozen'' and the events thereof which occur offscreen here. |
| 992 | * MeaningfulName: His Heartless is called Sköll, which comes from the evil wolf in Myth/NorseMythology that chases the sun to eat it. Anna and Elsa are confirmed New Hearts, and the cold-hearted Hans pursues them for their kingdom. When he fails, the monster spawned from him traps Sora and his friends in a void without light. |
| 993 | * MorphicResonance: At least by the standards of other Heartless bosses connected with Disney villains within the series, most of which bear no particular physical resemblance to their hosts; Sköll has a similar color scheme to Hans' princely attire, particularly in the ice spikes around the wolf's collar which resemble shoulder pads. See also WolfInSheepsClothing below. |
| 994 | * OneWingedAngel: After he fails to murder Elsa, the darkness in his heart consumes him and turns into a gigantic ice wolf Heartless, Sköll. |
| 995 | * SavageWolf: In addition to its own presence, Sköll is accompanied by packs of wolf Heartless which serve as hostile distraction from the main target of the boss fight. |
| 996 | * TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: From Sora's perspective he looks like an ordinary gentleman and the heroes even wonder if he's just taking Elsa back home when they see him carrying her. They quickly change their minds when they detect how much Darkness he has in his heart and their suspicions are proven to be justified when such Darkness spawns a highly destructive Heartless. |
| 997 | * TheUnfought: Played with via the series' increasingly common practice of using a Heartless spawned from a Disney villain as the boss instead of the character himself, though this one at least has a bit more MorphicResonance than usual. |
| 998 | * TheVoiceless: He doesn't speak at all during his appearances. |
| 999 | * WolfInSheepsClothing: Invoked via his Heartless. |
