Nightwalker

A Nightwalker is an artificial Heartless.

They are ghostly Heartless and they hover in midair. They use ghost-fire for long-range attacks but also use their claws for close range attacks. They can be difficult to defeat if one is low leveled, due to their aerial attacks and sweeps. They have no Reaction Command to help you defeat them.

It is an Emblem Heartless, and it is located on top of its hat. This makes it difficult to determine whether its type, much like Rabid Dogs, which have emblem that are very small, or in places many don't look at.

Journal Entry

It jumps around while attacking persistently, so attack it and defeat it immediately. Watch out for its powerful counterattack.

Attacks

• Claw Nightwalkers swipe twice with their claws, so continue to defend even after the first claw swipe.

• Tailspin Charge Nightwalker spins in the air, so it's best to wait for the attack to end from a distance before running in to attack.

• Spin Slash Nightwalker spins either on the ground or in midair but very close to it. A strategy similar to its Tailspin Charge is effective.

Appearance

Nightwalkers have an appearance similar to that of a Chinese demon, specifically the Jiang Shi, sometimes called "Chinese vampire". A small parchment covering their face implies they are in fact cursed beings.

They wear crimson Chinese robes, but with a deep violet intricate design. The same goes for the hats they wear, which are traditional Chinese top-wear.
