{{Q|We have come for you, my liege.|A Dusk to [[Roxas]]}}

Dusks are sent into [[The Other Twilight Town]] to bring back [[Roxas]], but due to [[DiZ]] wiping his memory of his time in the Organization, Roxas instead fights them off along with several [[Creeper]]s and [[Twilight Thorn]]. One Dusk poses as the virtual [[Vivi]], summoning its comrades when the [[Struggle]] match freezes. Another one poses as a dog owned by a boy and hides inside a bag on [[Sunset Hill]].

[[Yen Sid]] later shows three Dusk holograms when explaining the existence of Nobodies to [[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]].

During the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]], Dusks fight against [[Armored Knight]] [[Heartless]]. However, once [[Maleficent]] orders them to focus on Sora, Donald and Goofy, the Dusks team up with them. [[Saïx]] summons some Dusks to take out a small battalion of [[Soldier]]s summoned by Maleficent. They then pin Maleficent to the ground, forcing her to flee through a [[Corridor of Darkness]].

A Dusk has a thin, sinuous body that is capable of dumbfounding feats of flexibility. It has a large, cylindrical head with a flat top that is emblazoned with the [[Symbols in the Kingdom Hearts series#Nobody|Nobody symbol]]. Its body seems to be covered in a light grey jumpsuit, and its "mouth" is actually a zipper that undoes itself to reveal its actual, grey, sharp-toothed mouth underneath. It appears to be fairly muscular, though its arms and legs are very thin. The sides of its body are lined by a black line, which pulses weakly with light. Its feet and hands are pointed and lack digits, and its hands each sport two black bands around them.

Dusks are fairly weak and require little strategy, but can be a bit troublesome in large groups at the beginning of the game, especially when paired with the [[Creeper]] Nobody. The '''Reversal''' [[Reaction Command]] can help as it stuns the Dusk and any surrounding Dusks and Creepers. However, although this strategy works well playing as Roxas (because of the shorter combos), when at high levels, they can be eliminated with ease. Reversal can also be used to avoid other Nobodies as they normally appear with others. Also, [[Fire]] [[magic]] and [[Thunder]] magic can help greatly when playing as [[Sora]] in case they surround him.

 

 

Dusks have a similar attack pattern as in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', except Reversal is unavailable. Dusks that do not stagger while moving means that they are in the process of attacking. At this point, get into a defensive position to block the attack in order to open them to being staggered once again. They can be very easily dealt with using [[Formchange]]s like [[Blizzard Claws]] and [[Blizzard Blades]], which exclusively deal Blizzard damage (which Dusks are weak to) and bypass their Revenge Value, which only increases when being attacked by [[Physical (element)|Physical]] attacks.

|Performs a side-to-side sweeping kick with both legs at ground level.

==Other appearances==

One particular Dusk develops a fascination with Xion, as she was the only member to treat it with kindness. It later perishes after trying to "slow down" [[Riku]] under Saïx's orders before leaving behind {{w|Aster tataricus}} flowers for Xion, a reference to the meaning of her name.{{?}}<!--Cite the chapters the relationship with the Dusk is shown and when it dies and leaves the flowers for Xion-->

*Dusks are the first common enemy to be specifically mentioned outside of [[Jiminy's Journal]]; in this case, they are referred to as such by [[Axel]] and [[Yen Sid]].
