Editing Dark Thorn

The '''Dark Thorn''' is a ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' [[Heartless]] boss. It is a powerful evolution form of the [[Shadow Stalker]] Heartless. It is the final boss of the first visit to [[Beast's Castle]].

The Dark Thorn has the ability to turn invisible. Its invisibility is not very effective though, as a dim outline of the creature can still be seen and [[Sora]] can still target it, much like he could with the [[Stealth Sneak]]. Also, when invisible, the Dark Thorn is much faster. The only way to restore its visibility is to crush a large object on it, the chandelier being the object Sora uses when fighting it. 

Dark Thorn's attacks are primarily physical, and it is a relatively weak opponent.
It also bears a strong resemblence to Ifrit from the Final Fantasy series.
