'''Claymores''' are the [[Radiant Garden]]'s defensive system, installed presumably by [[Cid]], who also presumably gave them their name. They aid the [[Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee]] in battle by eliminating enemies that may have infiltrated the town. The claymores can no longer assist Sora in battle after he travels beyond the Castle Gate area.

The Claymore is first seen during Sora, Donald, and Goofy's first visit to [[Hollow Bastion]]. Yuffie explains it as the town's defense mechanism and it was possibly created by [[Cid]]. It disposes of small and weaker heartless, and it distracts the stronger ones until a Committee Member finishes it off. During the third visit to [[Hollow Bastion]], the [[Master Control Program|MCP]] takes control of the [[Hollow Bastion OS]] which includes the Heartless Manufactory and the town's defense system and changes the Claymore's programming, directing them to attack Sora instead.

Claymores make a small appearances in the ''Kingdom Hearts II'' manga, in which a Claymore sends Demyx flying from its blast, encouraging the other members of Organization XIII to retreat.
