 |journalKH=Heartless born purely out of darkness. Their movements are unpredictable, as they often make sudden moves and attacks.
 |journalSS=A Heartless made from the very shadows of darkness.<br><br>The Darkball mostly just bobs through the air, but its random weaving and biting are a nuisance.
 |journalCOD=Heartless hewn from the very shadows. Usually they just waft through the air, but they can be annoyingly unpredictable, bobbing around erratically or charging right at you without a moment's warning.
 |journalBBS=A Heartless whose heart has been lost within the darkness.<br>It teases its prey by teleporting randomly, and surprises them with its chomping attack.
 |journalUX=Boasting high HP and strength, this sinister Heartless boosts its stats even further and lowers those of opponents to gain an edge in battle.

The '''Darkball''' is a [[Pureblood Heartless]] that appears in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts χ]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Dark Road]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory]]''.

==Design==
The Darkball, true to its name, has a spherical body that is pitch black and streaked with dark blue. Its glowing, yellow eyes are rather small. The inside of its mouth is blue, and the mouth itself is a jagged, toothy opening. This Heartless has three thick, black and blue tentacles with frayed, pink tips sprouting out of its body; two are on its top, and one is on its underside. The Darkball closely resembles the [[Shadow Stalker]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', although the Shadow Stalker has a smoother appearance overall, and several smaller appendages.

The Darkball's name reflects its spherical shape and its status as a Heartless, a heart corrupted by the [[darkness]].

==Strategy==
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
;Attacks
*Darkballs reduce themselves to small, purple clouds in order to evade attacks before expanding rapidly to cause damage.
*Darkballs adopt a "berserk" state and thrash about in place; anyone who is too close receives damage.  
*Darkballs charge forward, biting at their targets.

Darkballs are relatively easy Heartless to defeat; their attacks do little damage, they attack infrequently, and their [[HP]] is low. These Heartless teleport from one place to another in a way similar to the [[Invisible]].
