Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

{{Q|We have come for you, my liege.|A Dusk to [[Roxas]]}}
The '''Dusk''' is a low-ranking [[Nobody]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''.
The '''Dusk''' is a low-ranking [[Nobody]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. Dusks are the most common Nobodies. They are the only types of low Nobody known to be able to speak, and are used by [[Organization XIII]] for simple recon and courier operations. Higher-ranking Nobodies are sometimes threatened with being transformed into Dusks as an extreme form of punishment.


==Story==
==Locations==
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
* [[Twilight Town]]
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]].
* [[Hollow Bastion]]
* [[The Land of Dragons]]
* [[Olympus Coliseum]]
* [[Beast's Castle]]
* [[Port Royal]]


[[Yen Sid]] later shows three Dusk holograms when explaining the existence of Nobodies to [[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]].
==Journal Entries==
===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
''These lesser Nobodies handle simple combat, recon and courier operations.''<br>
''Though lacking in strength, they have a robust repertoire of close-range tactics, including spinning charge and arm thrust attacks.''


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]].
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
''It is difficult to read this creature's next move, so catch it off guard with a Reversal to stop its actions. A series of attacks and Reversals can also look cool in battle!''


In [[The World That Never Was]], Dusks and a [[Neoshadow]] attempt to prevent [[King Mickey]] from advancing up [[Naught's Skyway]]. He slays them all to save DiZ.
''Note: It lets its guard down when its attack is parried. This is also true for all Nobodies.''
 
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
When Sora, Donald, and Goofy initially arrive in [[Twilight Town]] and discuss Roxas, several Dusks appear, asking if he seeks "[their] liege". Later, [[Xemnas]] summons several Dusks outside the [[Old Mansion]] in order to supplement the Neoshadows summoned by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]].
 
When Ansem the Wise is brought to Twilight Town, [[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]] attack the Seeker of Darkness. [[Vexen]] sends several Dusks to aid them, with one cushioning Hayner's fall when the [[Dark Figure]] throws him at the wall surrounding the Old Mansion.
 
==Design==
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.
 
The Dusk's name refers to the period of time when the sun begins to set and twilight begins to set in. This emphasizes how Nobodies are beings of neither [[Light]] nor [[Darkness]], but are closer to the Darkness.


==Strategy==
==Strategy==
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
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 you can eliminate them with one combo. Reversal can also be used to avoid other Nobodies as they normally appear with others.
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 counter with any of their attacks when damaged, though they can be prevented from triggering the counterattack through the repeated use of Reversal.
The  is the second weakest Nobody (next to Creeper). Dusks can be thrown off guard with a [[Reversal]] [[reaction command]]. Dusks are usually teamed up with a Creeper or some other sort of Nobody.

{{rc|c}}


===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
Dusks can also be battled in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', fought in the Hall of Empty Melodies as training for Roxas in the mini game known as [[Mission 10: Prove Your Endurance|Dusk Survival]]. The lesser Nobodies utilize the same attacks as in past games, Roxas having to survive wave after wave of them until a minute has gone passed.
Dusks can be battled in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' during several missions located in [[The World That Never Was]]. They can easily be dispatched by staying at a distance and using [[Blizzard]] magic, which they are weak to, and blocking their spinning charge attack which is generally easy to react to.

===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
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.

==Other appearances==
===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' manga===
Dusks appear to be very mischievous, drawing on Roxas's face with markers during his early days in Organization XIII, and when he fell into a coma, making him look like {{w|Groucho Marx}} on Day 29, and [[Xigbar]] on Day 30. Afterwards, [[Xion]] would clean his face daily, but this only prompted them to draw in permanent marker. They also seem to perform servitude roles for the other members of the Organization, such as giving [[Xaldin]] a shave.
 
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-->


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*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]].  
*Dusks are one of the few non-humanoid Nobodies shown to speak; in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', they tell Roxas, "''We have come for you, my liege.''"
*A glitch in the North American ''Kingdom Hearts II'' causes a Dusk to randomly pop out of one summoned by Axel while it is being fought.
*Stronger Nobodies can be turned into Dusks, as [[Axel]] at one point says: "''Sure, but I'm not getting turned into a Dusk for...''" to Roxas and makes a similar comment earlier when he argues with [[Xemnas]] and [[Xaldin]] regarding his order to destroy Roxas. [[Xion]] mentions that they would turn her into one if they find out she can't use her [[Keyblade]] during ''358/2 Days''.
 
*Dusks are the first type of Heartless or Nobody to be specifically mentioned outside of Jiminy's Journal; in this case, they are named by [[Yen Sid]].
==Notes and references==
*In the ''358/2 Days ''manga, three Dusks attempt to play a prank on Roxas while he was sleeping on his seventh day. One of them clips a clothes pin to Roxas's nose to prevent him from breathing, but Axel comes in and tells them to scram before taking the pin off of Roxas.
