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 '''Morning Star''' is an [[Emblem Heartless]] introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.
The '''Morning Star''' is an Emblem [[Heartless]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''.
 
==Design==
==Design==
The Morning Star has a black, spherical head with two beady, yellow eyes on it. It wears a conical, green helmet with an angular antenna attached to its tip. The majority of its body is encased in a spherical suit of armor with eight conical, black spikes spaced evenly over its surface. This armor is primarily colored in shades of green, with some yellow decorations on it. Its thin arms jut out of circular openings in the armor on either of its sides. Its spindly legs share a large, circular opening at the bottom of the armor, and the tips of its feet point upward. It can retract its arms and replace them with two large spheres covered in spikes, which it uses to beat enemies. The Morning Star has two Heartless emblems, on its front and another on its back, both of which are placed in the middle of a blue ring with a black background.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', the Morning Star's armor becomes blue with cyan, violet, and some yellow highlights on it. Its spikes are now silver, as opposed to the normal black. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Union χ]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Dark Road]]'', the Morning Star's coloration is changed again to a bronze and gold color palette with red and light green highlights.

The Morning Star's name refers to the {{w|Morning star (weapon)|melee weapon of the same name}}, which the Heartless resembles. Its second set of arms in particular are very similar to a morning star mace.

==Attacks==
==Strategy==
*{{nihongo|'''Spinning Mow Down'''|回転なぎ払い|Kaiten Nagiharai}}: Swings iron maces around horizontally
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
*{{nihongo|'''Iron Ball Punch'''|鉄球パンチ|Tekkyū Panchi}}: Left-then-right iron ball attack
Morning Stars are large, tanky Heartless. Though their attacks can hit hard, they are also slow and easy to react to. At a close range they will use their '''Spinning Mow-Down''' and '''Iron Ball Punch''' attacks, and at a long range they will use '''Spinning Spike Attack''' and '''Body Press'''.
*{{nihongo|'''Spinning Spike Attack'''|回転トゲアタック|Kaiten Toge Atakku}}: Spins like a top and pursues target
 
*{{nihongo|'''Body Press'''|ボディプレス|Bodi Puresu}}: Leap high into the air and crash down. Can be countered with the Reaction Command "Bump," followed by "Meteor Strike," which can be done numerous times.
During their '''Body Press''' attack is their biggest opening for attack, as when they jump above [[Sora]] the '''Meteor Spike''' [[Reaction Command]] becomes available, which allows Sora to neutralize the Morning Star while dealing continuous damage until it is defeated. When reduced to 50% HP, it will exclusively use its '''Body Press''' attack.

===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
Morning Stars can be annoying, but as long as caution is taken to block while it is spinning as well as to [[Air Slide]] away when it jumps up, it shouldn't pose too much of a threat. Once it stops spinning, hit it with some physical combos, as well as some casts of [[Aero]] magic, which it is weak to.
