'''Tarzan''' is a party member in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''.

He is a wild, almost animal-like man who has been raised by gorillas since birth. He speaks little English and mostly 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 "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.

==Journal Entry==
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
''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.'' 

''He swung onto the screen in "Tarzan" (1999).''

==''Kingdom Hearts''==
Tarzan first encounters [[Sora]] in his former treehouse home, being attacked by the leopard [[Sabor]]. Tarzan managed to chase off Sabor and became friends with Sora, 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]], 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.

Jane and Terk are briefly kidnapped by Clayton, but are saved shortly after by the Keyblade bearer. Unfortunately, Clayton and his gang of [[Heartless]] have now captured all the gorillas so that Clayton can shoot them. Sora and Tarzan intervene and the gorillas escape. Clayton and a large Heartless named [[Stealth Sneak]] fight Sora, Tarzan, Donald and Goofy, but they are defeated (Clayton being crushed by the Heartless). Tarzan seems to be able to tell that Clayton is no longer human, and expresses his discovery immediately before the fight. Grateful for their rescue, the gorillas show Sora and the others the location of the world's [[Keyhole]]. Jane then figures out what Tarzan's continuous grunting means: Friends in the heart (the word '''heart''' is subtitled in punctuation symbols).

==Skillset==
Tarzan is a heavily physical character. His spear has long reach and high strength. He uses his spear in tandem with a variety of special techniques, attacking enemies rapidly in battles, although he runs out of MP for these special attacks quickly. He only has one equipment slot and three item slots. Tarzan's abilities are as follows:

*'''Raging Boar''': Thrash around and attack surrounding enemies.
*'''Asp Bite''': Increases rate of MP restoration.
*'''Healing Herb''': Restores HP, similar to [[Cure]].
*'''Wind Armor''': Summons a whirl of air for protection, similar to [[Aero]].
*'''Second Wind''': Recovers from KO quickly.
*'''Second Chance''': Ensures 1 HP is retained after being hit with a critical attack.
*'''Berserk''': Boosts attack power when HP is critical.
*'''Critical Plus''': Increases chance of landing a critical hit. Tarzan has this ability twice.

==Quotes==
"''X&&/X (heart). Friends here.''"<br />
"''Not Clayton;! X&&/X (Heart)! Not Clayton!''"<br />
"''Kerchak, please listen to me! I know the nesting grounds are secret, but I trust them.''"<br />
"''You see, I want to help them because... because... well, they need us.''"<br />
"''Sabor, danger.''"<br />
"''Tarzan, home.''"<br />
"''Friends, same heart. Clayton, lose heart. No heart, no see friends. No heart, no friends.''"

==Trivia==
*Although Tarzan speaks to his adopted father Kerchak and the rest of the gorillas in Gorilla language, his lines are in English - mainly for the players to understand what he is saying.
*Tarzan is the only party member who does not return in any of the future games, thus never lands the opportunity to use [[Limit]]. [[Ariel]] returns, but in a non-combatant role.
*Tarzan's world did not appear in any other games because of copyright issues.
*Tarzan walks on his hands and knees (though in battle he uses one hand to carry his spear.)
*Despite Donald and Goofy being the very first party members in the game, Tarzan has been known to be the very first in-world party member to join Sora's group in the entire series. 
*Tarzan is also the very first party member to team up with Sora alone, even if it was for a short time at the beginning of Deep Jungle.

-==Design==
+==Journal Entry==
-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.

-==Personality==
+''He swung onto the screen in "Tarzan" (1999).''
-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.

-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]].

-==Origin==
+==Skillset==
-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.
+Tarzan is a heavily physical character. His spear has long reach and high strength. He uses his spear in tandem with a variety of special techniques, attacking enemies rapidly in battles, although he runs out of MP for these special attacks quickly. He only has one equipment slot and three item slots. Tarzan's abilities are as follows:
-In the film, Tarzan is a human infant who was taken in by the gorillas after his parents were marooned in a shipwreck and subsequently killed by Sabor. He grows up befriending the jungle's inhabitants and learning their ways, but often butts heads with his adopted father Kerchak. When Jane Porter, her father Professor Archimedes, and their guide Clayton set up camp near Tarzan's home, Tarzan eventually befriends them and learns English and basic manners and etiquette. However, Tarzan distrusts Clayton, and his fears are realized when Clayton begins to capture as many gorillas as possible. After Tarzan, Jane, and the Professor are rescued by Tarzan's jungle friends, Clayton chases them back into the jungle and battles them, only to fall to his demise. Kerchak sacrifices himself to protect his family, appointing Tarzan as his successor. Jane and the Professor stay behind in Africa to study the gorillas, with Tarzan and Jane living in his family treehouse.

 ==Trivia==
-*Although Tarzan speaks to his adopted father Kerchak and the rest of the gorillas in the gorilla language, his lines are in English to allow the players to understand what he is saying. After Tarzan's first lines to Kerchak, Goofy asks Donald, "Did you get that?" clearly indicating that he, Donald and Sora did not understand him.
