|journalKH=A young man raised from infancy by gorillas. His gorilla "mother" is Kala. Tarzan spoke only the language of the apes until he met Jane. Since then he's learning to speak English at an astonishing rate.<br><br>He swung onto the screen in "Tarzan" (1999).

'''Tarzan''' is a party member in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. He is a wild, almost animal-like man who has been raised by gorillas since birth. He speaks little English, conversing mostly in gorilla language which is a combination of grunts and hoots. Because of his long time in [[Deep Jungle]], he has developed rather impressive acrobatic skills similar to the movements to a monkey, and he even can "[[Jungle Slider|surf]]" down tree branches and vines, as well as using vines to swing across great distances. He fights with a spear made from a sharp rock tied to a branch.

==Story==

[[File:Tarzan 01 KH.png|thumb|200px|left|After rescuing Sora from Sabor, Tarzan tries to help him find his friends.]]

Tarzan first encounters [[Sora]] in his former treehouse home, being attacked by the leopard [[Sabor]]. Tarzan manages to chase off Sabor and becomes friends with Sora, albeit through a difficult conversation due to Tarzan's limited vocabulary. Sora asks for Tarzan's help to locate [[Riku]] and [[Kairi]], although Tarzan doesn't really understand. He leads Sora through the jungle's depths to an encampment where Sora meets Tarzan's friend, [[Jane Porter]], who is surprised to see Sora, and later [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Goofy]]. [[Clayton]], a hunter whom Jane brought to the jungle, attempts yet again to persuade Tarzan to show them the location the gorillas. Tarzan, however, cannot do it as the leader of the gorillas, [[Kerchak]], is distrustful of the humans. At this point, Clayton has his heart taken by the Heartless and he falls into darkness. Sabor attacks Sora and Tarzan again, but they kill him.

Tarzan's brown hair is styled in long dreadlocks. He wears almost no clothes. The only piece of clothing he wears is a tattered, brown loincloth around his waist. His eyes are a light green-blue in color and his muscular body is tanned from living in the jungle all his life.

Tarzan is a gregarious character, especially when is among his "family", the gorillas. He cares deeply about his friends. It also seems Tarzan can feel it when people hurt his friends, because he did not trust Clayton when he said he did not feel like harming the gorillas. Tarzan is almost always the first to rescue people when they are in danger: He rescued Sora from Sabor, and later, along with Sora, Donald and Goofy, he rescued Terk and Jane.

==Abilities==

===''Kingdom Hearts''===

Tarzan is a heavily physical character that wields a [[spear]] with long reach and high strength. He only has one equipment slot and three item slots. He uses his spear in tandem with a variety of special techniques; however, he lacks the [[MP]] to support frequent use of his techniques.  

His combat abilities are a mixture of offensive and defensive skills. Tarzan's special attacks allow him to use spear techniques, such as [[Raging Boar]] and [[Asp's Bite]]. His defense skills, [[Healing Herb]] and [[Wind Armor]], convey the same effects as [[Cure]] and [[Aero]]. Tarzan also has a variety of support abilities, including [[Second Wind]], [[Second Chance]], [[Berserk]], and [[Critical Plus]].

Tarzan first appeared in the 1999 film, ''Tarzan''. He is based on {{w|Tarzan|the character of the same name}} from {{w|Edgar Rice Burroughs}}'s novels.
