| The {{nihongo|'''Unversed'''|アンヴァース|Anvāsu}}<ref>The Unversed were once publicly known as "Unbirths" due to a fan mistranslation.</ref> are monsters that appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. They attack [[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]] on many occasions over the course of their respective journeys.

| | | [[File:Unbirths.png|thumb|216px|The Emblem of the Unversed]] |
| They return in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' and make their primary appearance in [[Monstropolis]]. They also appear in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] as enemies. | | {{nihongo|'''Unversed'''|アンヴァース|Anvāsu}}, meaning "those who were not well-versed in their own existences", are the main enemies of the game ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. The Unversed possess some sort of connection to the [[Heartless]] and the [[Nobody|Nobodies]] of the main series and are, in essence, "the opposite of human life". They are also known to "grow off of negative emotions". They are extensions of [[Vanitas]] and part of [[Master Xehanort]]'s master plan. The Unversed symbol also appears on the [[Vanitas's Sentiment]]'s helmet. |

| ===Before ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''=== | | ===''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''=== |
| {{canon
| | It has been revealed that the Unversed are dark beings created by [[Vanitas]]. As a human created from the purest, most raw form of darkness, Vanitas had the ability to manipulate the negative thoughts and emotions of people, and spawn them as the Unversed to further his goals, as well as [[Master Xehanort]]'s goals. By every and all accounts, the Unversed are extensions of Vanitas himself, and part of his power and influence - effectively making him the "first and original Unversed". With Vanitas's destruction, however, the Unversed are completely wiped from existence. |
| |The first Unversed are born soon after [[Vanitas]] is created by [[Master Xehanort]]. Vanitas attempts to destroy the creatures, but he merely absorbs them. Their negativity worsens his mental state, and this, in turn, spawns more Unversed. A vicious cycle begins that does not end until Ventus's damaged heart contacts [[Sora]]'s new one. After this, Vanitas leaves Ventus and is forced to fight more Unversed. The pain and suffering this causes him leads him to submit to Master Xehanort and agree to help him forge the [[χ-blade]].

| |
| After [[Master Eraqus]] conducts Terra and Aqua's [[Mark of Mastery exam]], the Unversed are unleashed in accordance with Master Xehanort's ambitions. In each of the worlds they plague, the creatures are attracted to negativity.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''''', '''Eraqus:''' "All the more reason, then, for concern—for he tells me the Princesses of Heart are in danger. Not only from the forces of darkness, as you may assume...but also from a new threat—one that feeds on negativity. Fledgling emotions that have taken monster form—Yen Sid calls them the "Unversed.""</ref> They ultimately cease to be after Ventus fuses with Vanitas, who reveals the Unversed only existed to make Ventus stronger.<ref name="Vanitas">'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''''', '''Vanitas:''' "I released them in all the worlds I could, hoping to lure you away from home and isolate you from your Master. We needed to make you stronger. The Unversed were the perfect opponents. And better yet, no matter how many times you defeat them, their negativity flows right back into me."</ref>

| |
| As a result of Master Xehanort's plan to gather [[Real Organization XIII|thirteen darknesses]] for the second Keyblade War, Vanitas is brought forward in time to clash with the [[Seven Guardians of Light]]. The Unversed, and Vanitas's control over them, return as well. Intrigued with how negative emotions are exploited in the world of [[Monstropolis]], Vanitas sends hordes of Unversed to that world. On the Laugh Floor at the Monsters Inc. factory, the Unversed utilize the company's former business model of deploying Scarers into children's bedrooms to collect scream energy, allowing them to accumulate enough negative emotion to reconstitute Vanitas's heart.

| Unversed come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. A key component of their design is emotion, thus their red eyes are made to resemble laughing, angry, and crying faces. All Unversed, with the exception with the Flood, are emblazoned with an insignia that represents a heart that expresses emotion.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer''': "There was a new enemy this time called the Unversed, how did you think them up?" / '''Testuya Nomura''': "Their design concept was "emotions", so we see them with smiling faces, angry faces, crying faces... they were designed with many different expressions. The Unversed mark is also meant to be a heart that expresses emotions." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/Full-Nomura-Interview-20-KH-Mysteries-Solved-1366 Translation via Lissar]</ref>

| Unversed are "those who are not well-versed in their own existences".<ref>'''''{{w|Weekly Famitsu}}'''''<!--If anyone knows which volume issue this is, please add it-->, '''Interviewer''': "What can you tell us about the "Unversed" enemies?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "The English name will be "Unversed". The meaning is "those that are not [well]-versed in life" and they grow out of negative emotions. You'll understand the meaning of this when you play the game." [https://www.khinsider.com/forums/index.php?threads/revised-translation-of-new-famitsu-interview.133571/ Translation via Krexia].</ref> They are the result of the negative emotions produced when Ventus and Vanitas were separated by Master Xehanort. The Unversed are extensions of Vanitas himself, thus they obey his every command.<ref name="Vanitas"/> They only exist if Vanitas also exists, and if he is destroyed, they will cease to exist. However, certain Unversed like [[Cursed Coach]] and [[Symphony Master]] were drawn to the negative emotions of [[Lady Tremaine]] and focused on trying to carry out her wishes to harm Cinderella.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''''', '''Aqua:''' "The darkness in their hearts overtook them."</ref>

| |
|
| |
|
| Without Vanitas commanding them, the Unversed generally cause chaos. They appear drawn to the [[Princesses of Heart]], due to the pure light in their hearts; however, they can also be drawn in when someone's heart is wounded and they are being negative.
| | ==Bosses== |
| | [[Image:WheelMaster.png|thumb|231px|left|Terra fighting Wheel Master]] |
| | The [[Wheel Master]] was the first confirmed boss for ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', fought by [[Terra]] and located in [[Enchanted Dominion]]. One included is the Unversed that resembles the pumpkin carriage from the [[Castle of Dreams]] which [[Aqua]] fights and also [[Symphony Master]] in Terra's story mode. [[Trinity Armor |Trinity Armor]] is a Unversed that appears in [[Radiant Garden]] in which Terra, Aqua, and [[Ventus]] fight as a three way battle. An Unversed called [[Metamorphosis]] is also shown to battle Ven and Terra in Space. |
|
| |
|
| When the [[Magic Mirror]] was turned into an Unversed, it focused on attacking anyone that wasn't [[the Queen]]; in addition, the [[Mad Treant]] was likely born when the Queen plotted to poison Snow White with her sleeping apple.-->

| | [[Image:OlympusColiseumUnversed.png|thumb|230px|right|Terra battling Buckle Bruisers in Olympus Coliseum]] |
| | Several types of Unversed have been shown in scans, including a small, skinny creature, blue in color, and a large creature also colored blue. They all seem to feature odd, red eyes and large, zig-zagging antennae/ears. There are flower-like Unversed that look like potted flowers with vines for arms that seems to spin like a top, and pot-like Unversed that are simply red pots with bat wings. Also, there are falcon-like Unversed and Unversed that are reminiscent to boots. A rabbit-like Unversed is also shown, with long floppy ears and tiny, stubby legs. |

| *[[Nobody]] | | *The Unversed are the only enemy species to be controlled by only one person: Vanitas. |
| *[[Dream Eater]]
| | **In addition, they are the only species to not have a playable character (unlike the Heartless ([[Sora's Heartless]]) and the Nobodies ([[Organization XIII]]) ). |
