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 '''Flood''' is an [[Unversed]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. It is the most common form of Unversed.


==Story==
==Worlds Fought==
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
*[[Dwarf Woodlands]]
Floods tend to be the first Unversed to appear whenever, [[Terra]], [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus]] visit a world.
*[[Enchanted Dominion]]
 
*[[Castle of Dreams]]
In [[Enchanted Dominion]], a group of Floods attack Terra as soon as he arrives. He slays all but one, which he chases to a bridge leading to King Stephan's castle.
*[[Mysterious Tower]]
 
*[[Radiant Garden]]
In [[Castle of Dreams]], Floods are attracted [[Cinderella]]'s despair after her ballgown was ruined by her wicked step-family. Terra later spots some on the balcony above the ballroom.
*[[Disney Town]]
 
*[[Olympus Coliseum]]
In [[Dwarf Woodlands]], Floods appear and scare [[Snow White]] into the forest, leaving Terra to dispatch them.
*[[Deep Space]]
 
*[[Neverland]]
In [[Radiant Garden]], a swarm attack Terra upon his arrival, confirming that [[Vanitas]] is there. Some later chase a young [[Kairi]], prompting [[Mickey]] and [[Aqua]] to team up to get rid of them.
*[[Keyblade Graveyard]]
 
Aqua finds them upon her arrival in [[Deep Space]].
 
At the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], Floods are among the many Unversed summoned by Vanitas. He uses three of them to bind Ventus, which forces him to merge back together, creating [[Ventus-Vanitas]].
 
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
Floods appear in the lobby of Monsters, Inc. along with [[Spiked Turtletoad]]s, much to Sora, Donald, and Goofy's confusion, as they are not familiar with the Unversed. Goofy later remembers that [[Yen Sid]] had warned him about them, and that it had been a very long time since they appeared. Floods are seen entering doors to scare children and collect the energy from their terror.
 
==Design==
The Flood is a sleek, humanoid creature with blue skin. Its arms and legs end in points and have no distinct digits. It has a triangular head with two long, jagged, lightning bolt-shaped antennae reminiscent of the Unversed symbol. Its red eyes are set in an angry expression, and it moves in a jerking, twitchy motion. While most Floods are roughly the size of a [[Shadow]] Heartless, some in the Keyblade Graveyard are shown to be quite large. It is the only generic Unversed that does not have an Unversed emblem on its body.
 
Like all Unversed, the Flood is created from a negative emotion.<!--the Flood is a monument to the sin of "irritation". (Fansite cites are unacceptable. Cite to the ultimania directly, with chapter title and page number.)<ref>'''[http://forums.khinsider.com/spoilers/147009-bbs-ultimania-plot-mysteries-nomura-interview.html Nomura Interview]''' "...the Unversed behave according to Vanitas's will, and emotionally. For example, the Flood portray feelings of irritation."</ref>-->
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'', the Flood receives a palette swap which gives it a purple body and fuchsia antennae.
 
Interestingly, the Flood's behavior mimics that of a Shadow, the basic form of [[Heartless]]{{?}}, and a [[Dusk]], the basic form of [[Nobodies]]. Like Shadows, the Flood is able to sink flat into the ground and become temporarily invincible. Like Dusks, a Flood's body stretches and contorts when it spawns.
 
A "flood" is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land. This could refer to the danger Floods pose in great numbers and their blue coloration, as well as "overflowing emotion".
 
==Strategy==
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
The Flood has a similar fighting style to a Shadow Heartless. It sinks into the ground to avoid damage and attacks enemies with its claws. The player can easily defend against a Flood's attack by watching for it to wave its arms just beforehand.
 
Although very weak, Floods can be quite a menace when they appear in large groups. While they often appear alongside larger Unversed, it only takes a few hits from the Keyblade to destroy them. It is also possible to use magic in order to defeat this enemy. If a Flood sinks into the ground, simply wait for it to surface before attacking.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
Floods act much the same as in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', and pose little threat individually. Like their Shadow counterparts, Floods can be forced to emerge while sunk into the ground by hitting them with [[Water]] attacks or magic. They are also weak to {{c|Blizzard|element}} attacks. Watch for when the Flood prowls around or temporarily retreats, as this signals when it will attack.
 
Floods encountered in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] are unable to sink into the ground.
