The Sheltering Zone is an Emblem Heartless that appears in Kingdom Hearts. It is a large Sea Neon, and will split into three Sea Neons if defeated without magic or a critical hit.

Design

Sheltering Zones, like their smaller counterparts, are based on jellyfish. While they have a number of small bluish-green tentacles dangling beneath them, much like are found on real-life jellyfish, they also have two massive pale blue tentacles in the front that allow them to bash Sora and his party for big damage. They also boast light grayish-blue transparent heads; hidden behind the prominent Heartless emblem there are their sinister Heartless visages, complete with a crooked, toothy smile, bright yellow eyes, and a medium-length plume that ends in a spiral.

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix Sheltering Zones mirror the warmer colors of the palette swapped Sea Neons. They have orange small tentacles, bright yellow big ones, and a reddish-black iridescent head.

The Sheltering Zone's name may be referencing its ability to split into three Sea Neons when it is defeated; as if it was "sheltering" them from the battle.

Strategy

Kingdom Hearts

A Sheltering Zone, very much like an Aquatank, is docile in battle unless disturbed. Sheltering Zones attack by swiping their tentacles at Sora and his party. If a Sheltering Zone is defeated without magic or a critical hit, it will split into three Sea Neons.
