I found the card of Experiment in this list :) he was classified how Heartless http://www.destinyislands.com/kh-tcg/endless-darkness/ --[[Special:Contributions/2.40.142.25|2.40.142.25]] 12:12, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

:Okay well that's something we can act on. Also a note for anyone who will claim that it is incorrect because Maleficent, Oogie ETC are also classified as Heartless, look at the Symbol on the Experiment's card - it is a Heartless emblem just like on all of the other heartless cards, Maleficent and the other villains do not possess this logo they instead have a villain logo (logo is located at the POW area)--[[User:Vanitas|Vanitas]] ([[User talk:Vanitas|talk]]) 12:59, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

:...does the TCG even count? It's a card game (merchandise), not the actual video game/Ultimania (which are official canon). [[User:Ultima Spark|<span style="color:#002395 ;">Ultima Spark</span>]] ''[[User talk:Ultima Spark|<span style="color:#007FFF ;">(talk)</span>]]'' [[File:Lofty Fantasy KH3D.png|17px]] 15:54, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
The description in Pause already told he was an artificial Heartless, the card too confirm this, so we have 2 proof of the fact he was a Heartless, artificial but ever a Heartless, like Xion and Riku Replica are artificial Nobody (and here they are listed how Nobody), so The Experiment are an artificial Heartless--[[Special:Contributions/2.40.142.25|2.40.142.25]] 16:20, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
:I see it as more of an artificial Nobody, as it lacks a Heart. And despite being a TCG collector myself (I got my first deck yesterday), I don't consider the cards as canon. {{Uxie/Sig}} 17:23, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
But the description in the pause too say "Artificial Heartless" so is not only the card--[[Special:Contributions/2.40.142.25|2.40.142.25]] 17:34, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
:1: the cards have a fuckton of errors, we aren't citing them. 2: artificial means something, and 3: there's more to being a heartless than just acting like you lack a heart, and the experiment doesn't qualify. Scar himself is an edge case because he's ''undergoing'' the process of becoming a heartless, just like beast or sora. The groundshaker is the heartless, and id honestly argue that scar should be removed considering how the manga clarifies what pete is doing.[[Special:Contributions/107.35.129.24|107.35.129.24]] 18:00, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
When were the Shadow Globs ever stated to be Heartless? [[User:Pink Agaricus|Pink Agaricus]] ([[User talk:Pink Agaricus|talk]]) 18:37, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
:Days, but Oogie summons Heartless when you first fight him as well, and he doesn't fit any of the characteristics of a Heartless (no heart released, etc.).
:In general: Heartless are either Purebloods (made from darkness, not hearts, and thus wouldn't represent a specific character) or Emblems (made from hearts, and thus (1) have the emblem and (2) release a heart once slain). Not all beings that are independent hearts are Heartless, and certainly no beings with a body but not a heart are Heartless. For Disney characters that are flouting what canon defines as a Heartless, we should only be counting them as Heartless if there is ''non-incidental'', explicit definition of them as a Heartless...and I would argue that Pete's description of Scar, given what the manga shows is his modus operandi, should merely be interpreted as Scar passing the point of no return, not him finally reaching a true Heartless state. Honestly, I'd choose to regard them as full-fledged errors if I could, since they make a mess of the system.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 23:47, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
::Where in Days (re: Shadow Globs)? Purebloods are also made up of hearts. Sora was a Pureblood, and the hearts that fell out of Xemnas's Kingdom Hearts turned into Shadows. [[User:Pink Agaricus|Pink Agaricus]] ([[User talk:Pink Agaricus|talk]]) 00:13, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
:::Shadow Globs are referred to as Heartless in the journal section of Days. Most Purebloods are not shown to be made out of hearts - for example, destroying a Soldier causes a heart to be released, while destroying a Shadow does not.--[[User:Vanitas|Vanitas]] ([[User talk:Vanitas|talk]]) 10:20, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
::::Shadow Globs are only referred to as  "dark masses". Emblems release hearts for a reason; we don't know that reason, but it's likely to do with Xehanort. You are the one assuming that those two points are related. [[User:Pink Agaricus|Pink Agaricus]] ([[User talk:Pink Agaricus|talk]]) 16:58, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Now about the Experiment, let's look at it like this: by comparing it with Scar
*Scar - is stated in game to be a Heartless, but is not in the Heartless section of the Journal
*Experiment - is stated in game to be a Heartless, is stated in the TCG to be a Heartless, but is not in the Heartless section of the journal.
Therefore, I believe that the Experiment should be treated as a '''Special Heartless''' because it is artificial and cannot really be classified as a Pureblood or an Emblem due to this.--[[User:Vanitas|Vanitas]] ([[User talk:Vanitas|talk]]) 10:23, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
:Emblem Heartless are hearts; they release hearts when slain. Pureblood Heartless are reflections of the darkness in the hearts of the living; the TWTNW scene is weird, but it is most likely they were attracted by the hearts, rather than being created from them. Shadow Globs are explicitly Heartless.
:The card game is not acceptable as a source for this, it has a ''ton'' of typos.
:The game calls The Experiment an ''artificial'' Heartless, just like the Doctor made an artificial heart in the first game, and it fits ''none'' of the defining characteristics of being a Heartless. Whether you accept that "artificial" means "not real" or you just write off the battle-description blurb as an error (since they frequently name the enemies incorrectly, like "Vanitas's Lingering Sentiment"), do whatever. It doesn't qualify. And as I've said several times: that form when a character is doused in darkness, that's Pete trying to corrupt them with darkness so that they become a Heartless. He does it to Hercules, and Xaldin does it to Beast. I really, really think that shouldn't be interpreted as Scar actually ''being'' a Heartless, as he clearly doesn't fit any of the canon characteristics of being an Emblem Heartless (which he would have to become) until his spirit is reborn as the Groundshaker, and the very idea of ''Scar'', of all people, reaching that special strength of heart that the franchise glorifies in Ansem and Sora (and yet ''never mentions Scar having had''), is silly. Honestly, it should be interpreted as him reaching the point where he "definitely would become a Heartless now"; ''Days'' specifically outlines the defining characteristics of the Heartless and we should be ''very critical'' of any purported examples that defy those requirements.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 17:32, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
::How about this, there are some characters who may or may not be Heartless - we have been disputing them. So how about we add a new section for them, called something like '''Other''' or '''Possible Heartless''', in this section we could have the disputed characters (so Clayton, Experiment, Oogie's Manor, and Scar) and the section would explain why they are sometimes considered Heartless (e.g. The section would mention that Scar is sometimes though to be a Heartless because he was called one by Pete).--[[User:Vanitas|Vanitas]] ([[User talk:Vanitas|talk]]) 08:47, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
:No, this is not the fanon wiki.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 04:17, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
::I dint suggest it is fanon, the characters on this section each have evidence for and against being a Heartless, and are deserving of their own section.--[[Special:Contributions/220.253.160.68|220.253.160.68]] 09:50, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
:::What you're suggesting we do is turn the Heartless article into a fanon page. We're not going to do that. The series is clear on what makes a Heartless a Heartless, and honestly, your commitment to ignoring those definitions doesn't mean the wiki should as well.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 16:19, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
 
== Anti-Riku and Anti-Saix ==
Anti-Riku and Anti-Saix fit the descritpions of a pureblood, and their is no evidence that they are enetelchy/Nobody. As I have stated. If the Unnamed Heartless gets to be a Heartless because of it's appearance, then this rule applies to similar beings.--[[User:Vanitas|Vanitas]] ([[User talk:Vanitas|talk]]) 14:24, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
:Doesn't matter, these two don't officially exist in the game's canon (like the rest of the multiplayer part) which is why they're not even listed as separate entities by the Ultimania or the Bradygames guide and therefore should be categorized as the original bosses: Nobody for Saïx and Other for Riku. --[[Special:Contributions/77.12.234.210|77.12.234.210]] 15:00, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
::Purebloods are a certain type of thing. There is more to it than appearance, and the article already explains what those things are. AntiSaix and AntiRiku are merely recolors of Saix and Riku for use in a multiplayer game mode.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 16:17, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
 
== Pot Spider/Scorpion and Barrel Spider ==
They release hearts but do not possess emblems, how should they be classed?--[[User:Vanitas|Vanitas]] ([[User talk:Vanitas|talk]]) 09:22, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
:Two things: Pureblood heartless never released hearts in the series and if it's a pureblood it's sometimes mentioned in the journal entry. They probably don't possess an emblem (on the outside) because they use mimicry, on the other hand the Spiderchest Unversed had one when exposed. I think we should go with the heart releasing thing. --[[Special:Contributions/77.185.115.1|77.185.115.1]] 11:52, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
::Pretty sure they have the emblem on the bottom, but either way, they have emblems when they combine into Pot Centipede.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 15:56, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
 
==Ansem (Second form) or Guardian Ansem?==
Are you sure is name is Ansem (Second form)? Because is not realy a form of Ansem, but a fusion between Ansem and Xehanort's Guardian, in Italy he called Guardiano Ansem (Guardian Ansem)--[[Special:Contributions/2.40.156.174|2.40.156.174]] 07:37, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
:Where in the game is he called Guardio Ansem, the only reason second form is used is because we do not know any official name. If he is actually called Guardian Ansem somewhere in the Italiian version of DDD, then we could use it here.--[[Special:Contributions/220.253.160.68|220.253.160.68]] 09:36, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
::The Bradygames guide simply calls it '''Ansem (Version 2)''', which sounds like a bad translation. --[[Special:Contributions/77.186.171.4|77.186.171.4]] 10:07, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
:::I see this name in a guide of my friend of DDD--[[Special:Contributions/2.40.156.174|2.40.156.174]] 10:28, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

==Core Blox==
Don't know why this is questioned, just read the [[Core Blox]] page, we have it as a Heartless on there.--[[User:Vanitas|Vanitas]] ([[User talk:Vanitas|talk]]) 13:54, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

{{TheKeyOfDestiny|time=18:58, 10 August 2015 (UTC)|text=Are the Heartless "Lion Dancer", "Chocolate Statue", White Chocolate Statue", "Cloud Sunrise" and "Rodeo Rider" Pureblood or Emblem? They are linked to the "Pureblood" section of the "Heartless" page but when you open their individual pages it says in their profile box that they are Emblem. What should I do?}}
{{TNE|time=21:43, 14 August 2015 (UTC)|text=If they're simply Shadows riding on things, they are Pureblood. I think the best thing to do is rely on the image itself. The people who edited the Heartless page probably did this.}}
{{ShardofTruth|time=22:01, 14 August 2015 (UTC)|talk=Since there is no journal in [chi] your guess is as good as mine. From the images itself these Heartless have no (visible) emblems so they should be Pure Blood, on the other hand most of these funny looking Heartless were always Emblems in the other games. I think we should stick with the images for now and change the type to Pure Blood on the individual pages.}}
 
== Splitting gallery per game ==
 
We now have one large gallery for all Heartless, with tabs for the original and FM games. However, only two games with Heartless have a FM version, which means all Heartless from Days and chi (and there are a lot from chi) are duplicated for the FM tab. My idea is to split the gallery per game, so we can add the FM tab to the games that have a FM version, which will reduce the number of duplicate files. It's also a great way to see what Heartless are in what game, and we can use the images from the respective games, for example, use the chi images in the chi section. We can still split Pureblood and Emblem. Thoughts? {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 16:08, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
:The point of the galleries is to allow the various species across games to be shown alongside their families so that readers can compare how the family has varied across games. The world-enemy galleries and "X Heartless images" galleries already serve to show all Heartless from one game alongside each other. We only have the FM tab to show FM color variations, since there's nowhere where we show all FM images alongside each other (or for the Gummis, all Golds and Reds). If we want to provide galleries for those somewhere else, I'm fine with getting rid of the color variations altogether, but splitting these by game defeats the original purpose.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 03:51, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
::I don't find that purpose very useful. I presume most people would look at the list to see a directory of Heartless so I'm in favour TSH's idea. The enemy infoboxes have the Variations listed so viewers can still look at Heartless families if they wish. Also, considering how long the Heartless list is at this point, it might be worth splitting it onto a new page "List of Heartless"? {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 17:39, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
:::If they're looking at this page for that, then they're misusing the page. We already have the Heartless navbox and categories (both of which are linked on this page anyway) for expressly the purpose you two are describing -- we don't need this page to be ''yet another'' duplicate of that goal. This page's gallery was expressly designed to allow visual comparison, including FM, of the various clades alongside each other. If the complaint is that the list is too big, we can simply add a collapse to the gallery, as on the keychain or keyblade wielder pages, but there's no need to create an entire new article. That non-FM images are duplicated is no obstacle to the page, since by design those images take up no additional space.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 00:29, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 
==Things that I think should be changed==
First, I want to say that I completely understand why all the different colors of Heartless and the hoards were removed. I only added some of the different colors because I saw that there were already some different colors on here, so I wanted to keep it consistent, but yeah, it makes sense that all the alt colors and hoards shouldn't be on here. <br/>
As, for Scar, Scar is not a Heartless. Scar's Ghost is the name of Scar's Heartless. So, why was it changed to Scar. That is just plain incorrect information. <br/>
Next is about the Note about Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. I do not think that that note should be there. It is just speculation. I don't think that speculation should be on wiki pages. Wiki pages are a place for confirmed facts and information. Also, it has been confirmed that he isn't an Emblem Heartless. Emblem Heartless are only made by the machine that Ansem the Wise created. Ansem, Seeker of Darkness was created when Terra-Xehanort turned himself into a Heartless. Ansem, Seeker of Darkness started off as just a heart, which means he is Pureblood. Technically the purest of Pureblood Heartless since he never took manifested form like most Pureblood Heartless. After he took control of Riku and became stronger, he started to take humanoid form. It has not been confirmed as to how he took this form, but it definitely wasn't because he went into the machine Ansem the Wise created. He has no Heartless emblem on him. The one that appears on him in just part of his clothes. This is confirmed in DDD as he no longer has the emblem on him when he's in the black cloak. So, I think this note should be completely removed from the page. <br/>
Next is, why was Ansem, Seeker of Darkness' second form removed? On the Nobody page, Specter's second form is on there, so why shouldn't Ansem Seeker of Darkness' second form be on this page? Inconsistency. <br/>
So, could someone explain to me why these things were changed? --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 23:58, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
 
Firstly I agree that Scar is not a Heartless, Pete isn't exactly the most trustworthy source of information. However, Scar's Ghost is not Scar's Heartless, as countless Scar Ghosts combined themselves to form the Groundshaker Heartless. No one has ever produced more than one Heartless, ever. I highly doubt that a world-limited Disney character like Scar would be the first one to have more than one Heartless.<br/>
Of course you realize that your statement ''itself'' is speculation. We have no actual proof that states whether Ansem is either a Pureblood or Emblem, thus, we cannot place him in either category as that too would be speculation. That note is there to state the facts that we know for certain to allow readers to determine for themselves what type they think he is.<br/>
Ansem the Wise did ''NOT'' create the Heartless machine, Terra-Xehanort did. Don't worry though, I made the same mistake not too long ago, but from what I can gather, that machine only created the first Emblem Heartless. Proof of that claim? Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRDYH5k8muo at 37:21, a man stumbles and his heart leaves his body and turns into a Soldier, which is an Emblem Heartless. To further this, in Kingdom Hearts II, the Storm Rider Heartless was said to be from an actual Dragon. The fact of the matter is that those who submit to the Darkness in their hearts become Purebloods, while those whose hearts are stolen by Darkness, whether by other Heartless or by those who use Darkness, become Emblems.<br/>
And lastly, Ansem's Second Form from DDD is really just a transformation for Xehanort's guardian, which, since it was first used by Terra-Xehanort, is not a Heartless, which is why it was removed. [[User:Rex Ronald Rilander|Rex Ronald Rilander]] ([[User talk:Rex Ronald Rilander|talk]]) 03:13, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
*Scar is explicitly stated to be a Heartless. Scar's Ghost is a manifestation of darkness, but it is stated to not become a Heartless until they all converge into the Groundshaker.
*Ansem's note is not speculation -- nothing in it is an unsubstantiated claim. It is explaining clearly why we cannot yet place Ansem in either the Emblem or Pureblood categories. As for the machine, we don't have proof it wasn't involved. However the machine works, it can still be activated when a Heartless steals someone's heart, because we see a random man become a Soldier in Traverse Town and soldiers become Necromancers in The Land of Dragons. The black cloak also clearly goes ''over'' Ansem's body, as it has with ''everyone else who has worn the black cloak then taken it off''.
*In short, Emblem Heartless are actual hearts, Purebloods are just darkness. Sora's Heartless is a special case that doesn't fit what Days and the Ultimania have said, which is why it's also listed in the special section. The machine ''could'' still be involved with facilitating the creation of Emblem Heartless, but we have ''no proof'' that it was not used on Ansem, so we can't make a definitive statement about his status.
*The second forms were removed because none of these pages are supposed to have alternate entries for the same entity. The second form of Marluxia's fight is a ''separate entity from the Specter'', as far as we know. I've revised the listing to properly specify that.
*The point of these pages is to list the various species, not every single form every single Heartless has taken. Images of various "forms" of a boss fight are included only if they depict separate entities, like the World of Chaos and Ansem Seeker of Darkness. When it's just one entity taking a separate form, we don't include that. The page is bloated enough as it is.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 03:47, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 
 
Oh, okay. Interesting, I had forgotten all about that man in Traverse Town who turned into a Soldier. Whenever I think I know everything about this game series, a new bit of info comes up that surprises me everytime, that's what I love about these games and that's what I love about this wiki.

Shouldn't Robed Figure be removed from this page completely? He's not a Heartless, he's just a heart. At least that's what Young Xehanort said. --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 05:05, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
:Where was that? The Ultimanias and Ansem's Reports all indicate that that is the "Xehanort still retaining his form after becoming a Heartless" version.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 17:25, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 
Young Xehanort: "Yes, this is where it started. At this point I still had no idea that I was talking to myself. He cast away his bodily form just to set me on the appointed path."<br/>
Sora: "What do you mean?"<br/>
Young Xehanort: "That is Xehanort reduced to just a heart. The being you and your friends called Ansem."<br/>
It could be retconning or it could be Young Xehanort trying to deceive Sora or being vague. Guess we'll have to wait for KH3 for this too. --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 19:49, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

I don't recall this ever being stated anywhere in the series. It's only said that Purebloods are created from the darkness in someone's heart and emblems are created from stolen hearts, which implies that they are either created from hearts or are manifested hearts. Doesn't imply that they are just plain hearts in my opinion. Could you give me a quote or something from the games or an interview or something? --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 00:18, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
:Secret Ansem Report 10: "But what if one willingly releases one's heart from one's body? Sora and Xehanort retained their self-hood even after becoming Heartless."

::"Living embodiments of the darkness within our hearts, and therefore the darkness that has been in the world since its inception, Although they originate in our hearts, they have no hearts of their own, hence their name." -Reports from Dream Drop Distance. Also, I don't see how "But what if one willingly releases one's heart from one's body? Sora and Xehanort retained their self-hood even after becoming Heartless" proves that Heartless are hearts in any way. It's saying that their Heartless retained self-hood because they willingly released their hearts, it's not saying that the heart they released is a Heartless. --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 20:41, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
:::That line cannot possibly be interpreted correctly in light of what ''everything else has said''. Heartless must "have" hearts, because so, so many times we are told that when they are slain, the "heart that they have seized" is freed. Furthermore, the Ansem's Reports in the very first game, which introduced the Heartless, says "The hearts taken by the Heartless become Heartless themselves." While Ansem nee Xehanort is not super reliable, that info matches what we've seen and what characters have claimed. The closest it could mean, if it's not an outright flub by the authors, is that Heartless ''act'' as if they lack hearts, being "entirely devoid of emotion".
:::That line says what it says, yes, but there are ''so many other sources'' saying and, for plot purposes, ''requiring'' a contradictory setup, that it cannot be relied upon.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 22:30, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 
::By the way, found the source of Nomura saying that Purebloods can be spawned from a heart without breaking the person, and that browncloak is Xehanort's Heartless:
<blockquote>-- In a memory scene in Ventus' chapter, we see Master Xehanort send Neoshadow Heartless after Ventus. But the Heartless only appeared in the world of light at the time Ansem Report 1 from "KHI" was written - were Ansem the Wise's student Xehanort's experiments with darkness not his first?
 
Nomura: As Yen Sid says in "KHII", the Heartless cannot be separated from the darkness in people's hearts, and have been around for a long time. Beings of darkness can draw out the darkness in the heart, so Master Xehanort could summon the Neoshadows with his own hands. In the same way, when Xehanort and Ansem the Wise's students begin to perform the first experiments on the darkness of the heart, artificial Heartless were created in large numbers.
 
...
 
-- In "KHI", the robed man, Ansem the Wise's apprentice Xehanort's Heartless (the body of Xehanort's Heartless before he inhabited Riku's body), appeared on the Destiny Islands. Is this because it was Master Xehanort's homeworld?
 
Nomura: That may be one reason, but if he somehow had some of Terra's memories, we can consider that it might be because he had laid eyes on Riku previously. In terms of the elements of Terra and Master Xehanort, I think the questions of how their power is related and divided, as well as who has whose memories and heart, will become a key to the story* after this one.

==Heartless Piloted Gummi Ships==
They ''are'' Heartless-piloted Gummi Ships in KH1. Go to 2:17 on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUqWFVvGL1A this video]. Goofy says "The Heartless ships often give us a hard time." --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 04:25, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
:Sure, and that's already mentioned in the article. The expand was saying to add the Gummi Heartless themselves, which we don't know the identity of. They could be Air Pirates piloting those Gummi Ships, we don't know.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 17:46, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

==KH2 Emblem Heartless==
Why do the Emblem Heartless in KH2 release hearts when they're destroyed by the Final Fantasy characters? --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 09:09, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 
They do? Can you provide an example of this?--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 21:56, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 
Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewAl5Zt_rYU It happens at around 12:22 with Cloud, Leon, and Sephiroth. It also happens with Tifa in a cutscene as well I'm pretty sure. Maybe if you destroy Emblem Heartless, the hearts get released, but end up just becoming Purebloods elsewhere by being consumed by Purebloods, but if an Emblem Heartless is destroyed by a Keyblade, the heart goes directly to go form back with the Nobody, and if it doesn't have a corresponding Nobody, it will end up just becoming a Pureblood as well? Another thing that sort of proves this is in The World That Never Was, when Kingdom Hearts breaks and all the hearts fall down, they don't have a corresponding Nobody to go to, so they end up just falling to the floor and becoming consumed by Purebloods and become more Purebloods. --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 22:51, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
:They release hearts because the concept of grey hearts weren't introduced until KHD. Also, because I'm really, really tired, here:

Why don't the Gummi Copters count as Gummi Heartless? I mean, I'm fairly sure Goofy or Donald in KHx said that they were Heartless who stole Gummi blocks from their ship, but I'm not sure.

:They even drop Gummi Blocks in [chi] and they look like the are made out of Gummi Blocks too.

==Partial Cleanup?==
It's been a while since I proposed the idea to NinjaSheik, not realizing that this is really the proper place for said discussion, but I'm still pretty motivated to organize the Heartless a little better. My main point being that there is a special section for "Gummi Heartless", but there isn't one for Raid Bosses. Raid Bosses are a mechanic that exist only in the Kingdom Hearts χ saga, and some of them include Heartless ships piloted by lesser Heartless. Thus it would figure that the parameters are all there to justify a new section dedicated to Raid Bosses. Naturally, Raid Bosses that already function as Bosses in other games (i.e. Darkside, Trickmaster, Behemoth, Guard Armor) would remain in the larger section because they did not first appear as Raid Bosses. Several Raid Boss Heartless also appear within the main story line, however these are moreso to help prepare us, as many of these missions take part in the early stages of the game. Raid Bosses are as follows according to KHInsider:
*Darkside, Darkside Ω, Lion Headliner
*Behemoth, Destroyed Behemoth, Hocus Pocus
*Guard Armor, Guard Armor Ω, Sinister Sweets, Spiteful Sweets
*Trickmaster, Trickmaster Ω, Egg Master, Jack in the Box
*Trident Tail, Trident Tail Ω, Red Trident Tail, Green Trident Tail, Blue Trident Tail, Submarine Carp
*Savage Spider, Venomous Spider, Scourge Spider, Malicious Spider, Enraged Arachnid
*Fortress Crab, Fortress Crab Ω, Circus Crab
*Queen Bee, Queen Bee Ω
*Jewel Sorceress, Jewel Princess
*Gummi Hound, Assault Dragon, Closehanded Captain, Adventurer, Gear Golem, Loudness March, Heartless Tsums, Furious Whole Cake
Let me know if this is feasible ([[User:Levi657|Levi657]] ([[User talk:Levi657|talk]]) 14:54, 8 March 2018 (UTC))
:Gummi Heartless have a separate section, because they are encountered exclusively in the Gummi Ship "mini-game", and not in regular combat. You could say that the Raid Boss fights itself are also separate from regular combat, but a lot of the Raid Bosses also appear as regular enemies in quests (mostly Event and Union Cross, but also some in Story), and like you said, there are some which already appeared as regular bosses in previous games, so I would keep them in the same section. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 17:55, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
::To add to that, I'd much rather merge in the gummi heartless section than try to tease out the raid bosses, esp. with stuff like the fire monkey where it's not clear if it's meant to be a raid boss or regular boss.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 13:00, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

==Flan Heartless==
Not that it's urgent, but I believe that when more pages for Kingdom Hearts III Heartless are made, the Flan Heartless should all share a page like the Mushroom XIII. I've heard them called the "Flantastic Seven" but I do not know if this is canon or not and will get back to you about that, but it's just a recommended title.

== Schwartzgeist ==
 
Is it not a Heartless? It has the Heartless emblem on it, just like the other gummi bosses in the game. It's on one of the upper "wings", I checked before I added it on there. Here's a screencap I got off youtube just now:

==Gummi Bosses==
Would I be allowed to upload the artwork of the Gummi Bosses from KHIII instead of the in-game renders. It shows more of the Heartless because they're isolated, so it'd probably be better (they included Flower Guardian, Glacial Fortress, Astro Warrior, and Dread Shark  in the artbook) at least until we get some actual renders ([[User:Levi657|Levi657]] ([[User talk:Levi657|talk]]) 18:50, 2 March 2019 (UTC))
:You can upload the art separately to use in the gallery. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 19:28, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
::Only upload Glacial Fortress and Astrowarrior. I already uploaded the other artwork, but KHInsider's scans of the two I mentioned were too blurry to use. - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 19:30, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 
== Wayward Wardrobe and Mysterious Sir ==
 
So, counterexamples would be Gearbit, Nimble Bee, Skoll, and Infernal Engine's archers. However, each of these smaller Heartless can be defeated separately from the main boss. For the Wayward Wardrobe and Mysterious Sir's minions, we can't really fight them separately in the same way, so should we really treat them as separate?
 
If we do, I don't really see a distinction between that and:
*Pink Possessor
*Defenders
*Rush Sheep
*Lance Soldiers
*Bog O' Gifts/Dark Score Bag
*Wibble Wobbles
*Cannoned Camel
*Circus Balloon/Bunch O' Balloons
*Chipper Chef
*Sleepy Snoozer
*Hocus Pocus
*Groundshaker
*Trident Tails
*Savage Spiders
*Gummi Hound
*Assault Dragons
*Fortress Crabs
*Crabby Cake
*Adventurers
*Iron Giants
*Heartless Tsum
*Gear Golem
*Ribbitoad
*Merry-Go-Rowdy
*Loudmouth Parade
 
And I personally don't want to do that.
{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 13:37, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 
:For me we will see if that Heartless is actually a separate entity or attached, so a same entity. For exemple, Groundshaker is obviusly the same entity with 2 body, since the game talk him to be the transformation of Scar's Ghost when fuse with all his illusion (seriously, Scar's Ghost seems pretty a Heartless, since Pete say about Scar becaming a Heartless, and then Scar's Ghost became Groundshaker). Btw, talking about the Heartless. Exist Heartless that are a lot of entities that became a unique entity (Demon Tower for exemple, is a mass of Shadow, yhea, but act like a individual entity, and is considered a Heartless).<br>
So we must see this. The Wardrobe minions is not attached to the Wardrobe, when they are summoned, they go away, so they don't seems to be "attached" to the main boss, the Infernal Engine's archer, similar, can be killed separatly, and they existence is not connected directly to Infernal Engine, the Infernal Engine is just their "boss".<br>
Tentaclaw too are considered their own Heartless, even if they are created by Leechgrave (they are not all connected to Leechgrave, because in one location we see 5 of them, and Leechgrave have only 4 tentacles), this is just my opinion, you decide what to do--[[Special:Contributions/93.150.192.145|93.150.192.145]] 13:50, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 
==KHUX Bosses vs Not==
So, on KHInsider they don't list the Possessors, Flutterings, or Red/Yellow/Blue/Black Copter Fleets as Bosses or Raid Bosses, which makes sense because they are just accumulations of lesser Heartless. Anyway, because of this I am going to correct the page as such. ([[User:Levi657|Levi657]] ([[User talk:Levi657|talk]]) 14:10, 18 March 2019 (UTC))
:But, we're not KHInsider. And the Demon Tower/Tide are technically just accumulations of Shadows, but they're still bosses. I do have to admit KHUX is a bit vague on what is considered a boss or not, especially when they change early quests to be like boss quests, but with regular Heartless. Also, it's possible the Possessors and Copter Fleets were bosses in the original KHX. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 14:32, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
::The game lists them as bosses using the ? marking pre-quest.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 14:45, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 
==Special Heartless?==
I noticed that the Cy-Bug who was possessed by a Darkling is not listed as a Heartless, and while I understand that it is a Cy-Bug, wouldn't the two together also be considered a Heartless? Or do we only look at the Heartless that is doing the possessing? I've noticed that Riku-Ansem isn't on this page either, so I thought I would ask. ([[User:Levi657|Levi657]] ([[User talk:Levi657|talk]]) 16:28, 18 January 2020 (UTC))
:KH3 considers the possessed toys like the Bouncy Pets as not Heartless, even though they get the emblem when they're possessed, so I guess it doesn't necessarily make it a Heartless. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 17:33, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
 
==Do Heartless have genders?==
Some Heartless, such as the [[Powerwild]], [[Bouncywild]], [[Parasol Beauty]], [[Queen Bee]], or [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], clearly look either male or female (and in the latter's case, even have a male voice), but it seems that for the most part both the in-game descriptions and the fans use the pronoun "it" to refer to Heartless (with Ansem, the Queen Bee, and the Parasol Beauty being notable exceptions, with the latter explicitly being called a "lady" in its [[Gummiphone]] entry). Does this mean they actually have genders, or are the gendered pronouns merely assigned to Heartless that clearly ''look'' like they're either gender?
--[[User:HopelessNobody|HopelessNobody]] ([[User talk:HopelessNobody|talk]]) 10:21, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 
:I'd just go with the [[KHWiki:Manual of Style#Enemy and Boss Articles|MoS]] on this matter where it says that all Heartless are genderless and to be referred as "it", with Ansem SoD being the exception. I believe the only Heartless/Nobodies/etc that have genders on the wiki are actual characters with personalities (like org xiii and ansem sod) rather than common enemies.

::I meant lore-wise, not what pronouns are meant to be used for them on the wiki.--[[User:HopelessNobody|HopelessNobody]] ([[User talk:HopelessNobody|talk]]) 20:08, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 
:::It seems pretty universal within lore for Heartless/Nobodies/etc to be genderless, again except for defined characters like Ansem SoD/Org XIII. For example, the [[Grim Guardianess]] has a feminine name and the [[Dancer]]s look quite feminine but the journal still refers to both as "it"s. The Parasol Beauty's journal refers to it as a lady, although I'm more under the impression that's more of a reference to its resemblance of a 19th century noblewoman.

::::Well, what about the [[Queen Bee]]? That one is openly referred to as a "she" in the flavor text.--[[User:HopelessNobody|HopelessNobody]] ([[User talk:HopelessNobody|talk]]) 20:43, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
:::::There are some Heartless in KHUX who use he/she in descriptions, like Queen Bee, Shiva, or Ifrit. However, this is most likely just from translation, as I believe Japanese doesn't use gendered pronouns. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 20:46, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 
::::::Looking at Ifrit's journal entry on its page, it seems it's referred to as "it" (unless there is another journal entry for it in a different quest). Although your point about the translation still stands.--[[User:HopelessNobody|HopelessNobody]] ([[User talk:HopelessNobody|talk]]) 20:54, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
:::::::There is another description from a later quest. "This fiery foe resets your boosts, unleashes critical attacks that lower your strength, absorbs Power-based damage, and counters when '''his''' hit count reaches 0!" {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 20:57, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 
==Purebloods==
I know Emblems, by their very nature of being hearts forcibly surrounded by darkness, make more Emblems when they consume hearts.
 
However, don't Purebloods technically do the same thing?
 
Ansem's Report 3:
 
''"The shadows that crawl beneath the castle... Are they the people who lost their hearts, or incarnations of darkness? Or something entirely beyond my imagination?'''<br>
 
''All my knowledge has provided no answer. One thing I am sure of is that they are entirely devoid of emotion. Perhaps further study will unlock the mysteries of the heart.'''<br>
 
''Fortunately, there is no shortage of test samples.'' '''''They are multiplying underground even as I write this report.''''' ''They still need a name. Those who lack hearts... I will call them the Heartless."''
 
And this entry takes place before the first Emblems were created.
 
Can we add this to the page if it's correct? --[[User:Mikoto|Mikoto]] ([[User talk:Mikoto|talk]]) 06:12, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 
==Dark Servants and other silhouttes==
Something that's kinda bugging me is that why we don't have any pages for the Dark Servants? (the little shadow orbs the Dark Thorn and the Hydra summons in kh 2) as well, would the "afterimages" that Xehanort and Vanitas uses as attacks in KH3 kinda counts as heartless of the pureblood type or are they different all together? Just asking.
--[[User:LuisArturo|talk]] 09:01 Oct 2023 (UTC)
:A few reasons. The first is that they aren't actual enemies (no HP bar, no stats of any kind). They also aren't mentioned as their own entities (no journal entry, no Ultimania info, no names outside of attack titles), and the information that we ''do'' have essentially amounts to "dark orb attack", so there isn't enough to warrant a separate article or even a section. As per the afterimages, it's exactly that: an afterimage, an avatar, a mirage. They may be a manifestation of dark power, but they wouldn't count as Heartless themselves. —<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'; font-size:110%>[[User:Aid1043|<span style="color:#9932CC">Aid</span>]][[User talk:Aid1043|<span style="color:#9932CC">1043</span>]]</span> 03:38, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 
== Union X confuses me ==
 
Does anybody know why emblem heartless appear in this game when they were supposedly created MUCH later? {{unsigned|24.214.45.254}}
 
: Some of it can be explained by the Disney worlds being constructions of the Book of Prophecies (or data based on the book), which has knowledge of the future, including emblem Heartless. But that explanation doesn't cover everything. Nomura discussed this in an inverview about ''Dark Road'', which also features emblem Heartless way earlier than expected:
::'''Interviewer''': "In Dark Road, several of the Emblem Heartless make an appearance. But we thought that they would only appear later in the series."
::'''Nomura''': "The reason for their appearance in these past worlds will be explained in Missing-Link."
:So there's allegedly a reason, but right now we don't have a clear answer. —<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'; font-size:110%>[[User:Aid1043|<span style="color:#9932CC">Aid</span>]][[User talk:Aid1043|<span style="color:#9932CC">1043</span>]]</span> 03:13, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
