The Magic Popcat is an Emblem Heartless that appears in Kingdom Hearts III.

Design

The Magic Popcat appears as a slim feline-like Heartless with white fur and black skin that shows in its face, ears, feet, and in its sharply curled tail. Its face contains a pair of beady yellow eyes and a zig-zagged mouth which extends upward in the middle.

When inactive, the Magic Popcat hides in an ice blue pot with a pattern of white staff symbols rising up from the bottom of the pot, as well as white diamond shapes, both of which have a dark blue outline. In the middle of the pot is its Heartless emblem. After becoming active, the Magic Popcat will keep the pot attached to its upper body as it runs around with its head, torso, and legs exposed.

Strategy

Magic Popcats are unthreatening on their own, and as such they tend to appear in groups. They will hide in their pots to attempt to blend in with the background, but their pots are distinctive and they're easily seen when they peek their eyes from under the pot. When close enough, they will jump and slash at Sora, but this attack is slow and easily dodged.

Magic Popcats have low defense and health, and the group can easily be defeated before they can finish their first attack by using a couple casts of Thunder or Aero magic. Magic Popcats will always drop MP, which is useful to make sure all casts of Thunder and Aero can be used.
