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.

==Design==
==Design==
A Rapid Thruster has a spherical, black head with glowing, yellow eyes and a jagged mouth. Its head is surrounded by a large, two-pronged, beak-like helmet that sports a black spike on either of its sides. The helmet itself is orange and the Heartless emblem is on its top. Its body is also spherical, black, and only slightly larger than its head. It lack arms, and its legs are thin and do not have distinct digits. It has a propeller attached to its rear that it uses to fly. Its neck and body are separated by a thin, cyan line.

The Rapid Thruster's name refers to its speed—hence, "rapid"—and the propeller on its back—a "thruster" is a propulsion device.


==Strategy==
The Rapid Thruster's name refers to its speed—hence, "rapid"—and the propeller on its back—a "thruster" is a propulsion device.  
Individually Rapid Thrusters have very little HP and are defeated effortlessly, however they always appear in large numbers up to several hundred. Though they can be defeated in large quantities through the use of wide ranged offensive magic like [[Magnet]] or [[Thunder]], the most efficient way to clear out a horde of Rapid Thrusters is through the '''Speed Trap''' and '''Aero Blade''' [[Reaction Command]]s. If damaged, they will retaliate with '''Propeller Rush''', though the attack is slow and can be avoided by simply moving away. Groups of Rapid Thrusters may simultaneously use the '''Beak Rush''' attack, which can be easily neutralized through the use of Speed Trap.


In the [[Pride Lands]], there is an area above '''The King's Den''' called the '''Peak''' (the area where [[Scar]] is fought), where countless numbers of Rapid Thrusters can be fought. This area is an excellent spot for Sora to acquire multiple [[Lightning Shard]]s, which are dropped by the Rapid Thrusters. If trying to acquire extra [[experience]], it is recommended to equip the [[Gull Wing]] Keyblade, equip [[Experience Boost]] ability, go down to the critical health point, and then battle the Heartless, as doing so will provide even more EXP. This is not as effective in ''Final Mix'', as the swarm appears only 25% of the time (with a single Rapid Thruster appearing in its place otherwise), and drops HP prizes (which can quickly negate Experience Boost) instead of MP prizes.
