Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

'''Zero''' is [[Jack Skellington]]'s loyal pet ghost dog. He made his ''Kingdom Hearts'' series debut in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''; he later appeared in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. Zero originates from Tim Burton's ''{{w|The Nightmare Before Christmas}}''.

===''Kingdom Hearts''===
When [[Lock, Shock, and Barrel]] steal [[Dr. Finkelstein]]'s artificial heart for [[Oogie Boogie]], Jack Skellington sends Zero to follow them. Jack, in turn, teams up with [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] and follows Zero to Oogie's Manor.

{{Q|So that floating doggy thing can sniff out Heartless?|Roxas admiring Zero's Heartless-sensing capabilities}}
<!--[[File:Bone KHD.png|left]] shouldn't the bone be on a different article?-->
When [[Roxas]] finds Jack and Zero in the Graveyard during [[Mission 45]], he is amused to see that the ghostly dog can sense nearby Heartless with his nose. Zero reveals a hidden [[Carrier Ghost]] to Jack, who happily rewards him. Roxas learns by watching this that if he gives Zero a [[bone]], the dog will reveal other concealed Heartless. Using this tactic to his advantage, Roxas completes his mission in Halloween Town with ease. Later, Roxas repeats this tactic to complete [[Mission 52]].


===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
Sora encounters Zero again, aimlessly floating around Dr. Finkelstein's lab. When spoken to, Zero happily barks at Sora and his friends.


==Design==
''The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)''
Zero is a ghostly dog who closely resembles a white sheet, much like a stereotypical ghost. However, in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Zero appears to be a light blue in coloration, contrasting his usual, white appearance. Like [[Pluto]], Zero has {{w|Basset hound|basset hound}}-esque, floppy ears. His "eyes" are just empty holes and his snout is very long and thin. Zero's upper jaw curls upward at its tip, and his nose is tipped with a small jack-o'-lantern. Zero's collar is a faded brown color.
 
''Jack's ghost dog. He comes out of his grave whenever Jack calls, and never gets tired of playing fetch with his master.''


While Zero moves silently in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'', in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', the sound of blowing wind can be heard when Zero moves.
==Story==
===''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''===
Zero made a rather small appearance in the first ''Kingdom Hearts'', only as a ghostly hallucination.


When Sora runs up to Zero in ''Kingdom Hearts'', he disappears, causing the Keyblade wielder to pass right through him. However, Sora can interact with Zero in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
===''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''===
{{Q|So that floating doggy thing can sniff out Heartless?|Roxas admiring Zero's Heartless-sensing capabilities.}}
When [[Roxas]] finds Jack and Zero in the Graveyard, he is amused to see that the ghostly dog can sense the Heartless's presence around him with his nose. Showing Jack a [[Carrier Ghost]] that was hiding in one, Zero is rewarded by a happy Jack while Roxas looks on. Roxas later decided if he gave Zero a bone, the dog would reveal the Heartless' hiding places. The dog gladly complies.


==Origin==
===''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''===
Zero first appeared in Tim Burton's 1993 film ''The Nightmare Before Christmas''. In the movie, Zero spends a majority of his time at the side of his owner, Jack Skellington. Zero is present when Jack finds the door to Christmas Town, and due to his glowing nose, he also becomes the leader of Jack's team of skeletal reindeer on Christmas Eve when Sally tries to use a thick fog to stop Jack from taking off to deliver presents. At the film's conclusion, as Jack and Sally kiss atop Curly Hill, Zero flies off into the night sky and transforms into a star.


In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Zero appears yet again. Floating around in [[Dr. Finkelstein|Dr. Finkelstein's]] lab after his re-encounter with [[Sora]], he happily barks at the Keyblade master when spoken to.
==Trivia==
* While Zero is more of a white-gray in coloration in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'', he is a sky blue in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''.
*''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' is the first time Zero has been shown to have Heartless-tracking capabilities.
*Unlike in past games, Zero's movement in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' is represented by the sound of blowing wind.
*When you ran up to Zero in ''Kingdom Hearts'', he would disappear and you would go right through him, when he was able to interact with Sora in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
