| | The {{nihongo|'''Unversed'''|アンヴァース|Anvāsu}}<ref>At one point, the Unversed were known in the past as "Unbirths" due to a fan mistranslation.</ref>, meaning "those who were not well-versed in their own existences", are the main enemies of the game ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. They are considered "the opposite of human life" and grow from the negative emotions produced when [[Vanitas]] was created from [[Ventus]]. It is because of this that Vanitas is able to control them. By all accounts, the Unversed are extensions of Vanitas himself. |
|
| |
|
| They return in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' and make their primary appearance in [[Monstropolis]]. They also appear in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] as enemies.
| | Chronologically, the Unversed are either the first or second enemy referenced during ''[[Another side, Another story...|Deep Dive]]'', as they are the second race to manifest, but the first to attack the Realm of Light. |

| ===Before ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
| |
| {{canon
| |
| |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>
| | Around the same time as [[Master Xehanort]]'s leave from the [[Land of Departure]], the existence of the Unversed is brought to the attention of [[Master Eraqus]] by the Keyblade master's old friend, [[Yen Sid|Master Yen Sid]]. Master Eraqus sends Terra and Aqua (two of his three apprentices) on a quest to find Master Xehanort and stop the Unversed threat. He did not plan on Ventus (the youngest apprentice) trailing after his two friends, and it is due to Ventus's quest and his final battle with Vanitas (his dark side) that the truth behind the Unversed is revealed. |

| | Vanitas explains that the Unversed are his creation, and since he is a being created from the purest, most raw form of darkness, he can manipulate the negative thoughts and emotions of people. He spawned them as Unversed and spread them across the worlds, so that Terra, Ventus, and Aqua can fight them off and grow stronger in the process. The negativity of the defeated Unversed eventually return to Vanitas, and the race as a whole disappears upon Vanitas's destruction. |

| |
| [[File:Code 72-16 01 KHIII.png|thumb|200px|Spiked Turtletoads ravage Monstropolis.]]
| |
| 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.

| | [[File:UnversedEyes.png|thumb|200px|The eyes of a crying Unversed.]] |
| | Several varieties of Unversed appear over the course of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. Emotion was a key component in their conception and design. Thus they are seen with smiling, angry, and crying "faces", referring to the shape of their red eyes, which all Unversed share. The emblem most Unversed are christened with is also meant to represent a heart that expresses emotion. <ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''''' '''Ultimania Nomura Interview''' Their design concept became the theme of ‘emotion’, and we went with various motifs, such as a laughing face, angry face and crying face. The Unversed mark was also modeled on the heart from emotions.</ref> |
|
| |
|
| After Vanitas's defeat at the hands of Sora and Ventus, the Unversed cease to exist once more.

| |
| 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>

|
| |
| This contains speculation -- it needs to be pruned to what is sourceable
| |
|
| |
| 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.
| |
|
| |
| 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.-->
