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 '''Loudmouth''', also called '''Crescendo''', is an [[Emblem Heartless]] introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]''. It is one of only three Heartless that debut in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', along with the [[Creeper Plant]] and [[Tornado Step]].
The {{nihongo|'''Crescendo'''|ラウドネス|Raudonesu|lit. "Loudness"}}, also translated as the "'''Loudmouth'''" in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', is an Emblem Heartless from ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. These Heartless can be both a pain and a gain. They have little strength, but their sounds can call in reinforcements. Their sounds can also heal nearby Heartless, but by using the [[Reaction Command]], Heal Stomp, the Crescendo's healing sounds are directed towards Sora and friends instead!
 
==Journal Entries==
===''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''===
''A hopping, horn-like Heartless.''
 
''It's a bothersome foe that can honk and call other Heartless.''


==Design==
===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
Based on the design of an old-fashioned {{w|vehicle horn}}, the round, black body of the Loudmouth resembles a squeeze bulb, while its golden mouth resembles the bell of an {{w|French horn|instrumental horn}}. The Heartless's black head and antenna resembles a musical note, notably a {{w|Eighth note|quaver or an eighth note}}. A red collar separates the head and body. Two yellow eyes can be seen on its face, and it seems to be wearing earmuffs on its head, which are light and dark blue in color. The Heartless emblem can be seen clearly on the front of its body.
''These small Heartless cause the most trouble when they toot their horns to heal themselves and their cohorts. The wind missiles they shoot can be returned with a block.''


The colors of the Loudmouth become brighter in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''. Its body and head are now blue, the mouth-bell is now red, the collar is now a light blue, and the earmuffs are yellow and orange in color.
''TIP: Wind-based attacks can air-toss you. While airborne you become an easy target and will take more damage if hit.''


The Loudmouth resembles a creature featured in the 1951 film, ''{{w|Alice in Wonderland (1951 film)|Alice in Wonderland}}''. This creature resembled a duck, with a golden horn bell for a bill, and a purple squeeze bulb for a body.
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
''It restores the HP of surrounding enemies. Use Heal Stomp with the right timing to heal the party.''


Musically, a {{w|Dynamics (music)#Gradual changes|crescendo}} is a gradual increase in volume.
''When attacked, it may call for help, so be sure to defeat it immediately.''

===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
==Etymology==
Loudmouths should generally be targeted first, as their healing of other Heartless will prove a major annoyance. If they begin their healing attack, quickly dispatch them before they can finish with Fire or Blizzard magic, which they are weak to. They have little in the way of offensive capabilities save for a projectile attack which can easily be blocked, but will always inflict the Air-toss status effect if the attack lands.
Musically, a [[wikipedia:crescendo|crescendo]] is a gradual increase in volume.
