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.

The '''Earth Core''' is a [[Pureblood Heartless]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''.
==Design==
Earth Cores appear as a Heartless resembling a hedgehog. Its body is round and oval shaped, with a pair of beady yellow eyes and a large purple jagged mouth as its face. It has several cracks in its body where its purple interior can be seen. Outside of its face, its entire body is covered with rocky spikes that extend outward. It has no limbs, instead using the spikes on its bottom to bounce around and swim through the ground.
==Strategy==
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
The Earth Core does not generate earthy matter for its attacks. Its face is the only vulnerable spot on its body. Any attempts to attack elsewhere with Physical, Dark, or Neutral attacks are simply repelled unless the player uses a [[Formchange]] with the [[Guardbreaker]] ability; collision with this Heartless briefly stuns whoever it hits, leaving them vulnerable for additional damage. This can be avoided with a well-timed [[Guard]], by dodging, or having [[Stun Protection]] active. Their '''Drill Attack''' will also break Sora's guard and trigger [[Risk Dodge]]. While using '''Drill Attack''' or '''Spin Liner''', Earth Cores can only be damaged by [[Fire]], [[Blizzard]], and [[Thunder]] attacks.
In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Earth Cores have the ability to travel underground. While this leaves them invulnerable to physical attacks in this state, they are still vulnerable to magic and non-Physical type attacks. They can also transform into Towers, where they have more health and can spit boulders and charge at Sora. However, if Sora uses [[Goofy Bombardier]] (which has a 100% chance for [[Goofy]] to activate while an Earth Core Tower is present) while locked on to a Tower, Goofy will go inside the tower and destroy it instantly. While visiting [[Kingdom of Corona]], Earth Cores will never transform into towers.

The '''Earth Core''' is a [[Heartless]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]''.


==Gallery==
A rare Pureblood Heartless, the Earth Core is unlike the Water Core and Fire Core, in that it does not generate excess amounts of the element that it is comprised of for attacks. Its face is the only vulnerable spot on its body. Any attempts to attack elsewhere are simply repelled; collision with this Heartless briefly stuns whoever it hits, leaving them vulnerable for additional damage.
