==Strategy==
The Holey Moley is a hit-and-run fighter that uses its claws to deal damage and then escapes to another part of the battlefield via a "warp hole." Riku can use [[Flowmotion]] attacks to deal quick damage to this Dream Eater, and to compensate for his inability to use [[Reality Shift]]s against it, he can use warping attacks of his own, such as [[Dark Aura]] and the Ghost Drive Dual Link. [[Ice Barrage]] is a useful command to use against the Holey Moley, as it can strike the boss even at a distance. It is important to always Lock-On to the Holey Moley in order to track its movements and use the area's map. Its hitbox will remain for a while once it warps away, making Riku able to land extra hits until said hitbox is truly gone. While in the 3DS version of the game it is possible to track down Holey Moley by using the full area map, in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD]]'', this option is absent, and one can only rely on the lock-on and the ripple that appears on the mini-map on the corner of the screen, which helps locating where the boss appears if their location is outside of that mini-map.
 
Once chipped down to half HP (or at the start of the battle on Critical Mode), the Moley disappears and several hands appear. Unlike with [[Hockomonkey]]'s hands, it is unnecessary to beat them to make the Moley itself re-appear, and Riku can wait instead. He cannot be reached by any of their scratches if he stands on a higher ground. He should nonetheless make his Dream Eaters not take any risks at approaching them by bringing them back to him by pressing either both {{button|shoulderl}} and {{button|shoulderr}} (3DS), or {{button|l3}} (PS4).
 
Once it re-appears, only the head does it, use Flomotion on it to use Pole Spin and Buzz Saw to immobilize the Moley for a certain period. The Holey Moley favors shooting gift-like objects at him from afar, but they can easily be avoided. When up close, the Moley will either attack with its claws or retreat into its dimensional hole and reappear close-by, though its retreating will deal some damage. Once it has only one HP bar left, the Moley will become more and more aggressive.

The Holey Moley is a Dream Eater that appears in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. It serves as a boss in Country of the Musketeers in Riku's story.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance[edit]

The Holey Moley attacks as Riku races to install the Stage Gadget backstage and sabotage a trap Pete has set for Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. It taunts Riku and begins warping around the room; the Keyblade wielder launches a counterattack and defeats the Dream Eater just in time to disable Pete's trap and save his friends.

Design[edit]

The Holey Moley is a mole-like Dream Eater that resembles an armored knight. It wears an orange and purple helmet, and its red eyes can be seen through square slits. The Holey Moley's nose protrudes from the center of its face, and it has a multicolored tip. This Dream Eater's helmet is held together by gold hinges, and atop its head are two feathers; one is pink and yellow in coloration, while the other is blue and yellow. The undersides of these feathers are lined with yellow spots and have swapped color palettes.

The Holey Moley's arms resemble the sleeves worn by French soldiers in the nineteenth century; they have red stripes and "hems." The palms of the Holey Moley's hands are light purple, while the tops of its hands are dark purple and decorated with twin, S-shaped symbols that are orange and yellow and purple and blue, respectively. Each of this Dream Eater's hands have three sharp claws that are turquoise with yellow tips. The Holey Moley's body is mostly black in coloration; the Nightmare Dream Eater emblem appears on the center of its yellow-brown chest and has a rainbow-colored, S-shaped symbol on either side of it.

This Dream Eater's English and Japanese names are derived from "Hole Mole" (穴土竜 Ana Mogura?) and refer to the real-world mole's propensity for burrowing. The English name is also a double entendre on "holy moley," an expression of surprise.

Strategy[edit]

The Holey Moley is a hit-and-run fighter that uses its claws to deal damage and then escapes to another part of the battlefield via a "warp hole." Riku can use Flowmotion attacks to deal quick damage to this Dream Eater, and to compensate for his inability to use Reality Shifts against it, he can use warping attacks of his own, such as Dark Aura and the Ghost Drive Dual Link. Ice Barrage is a useful command to use against the Holey Moley, as it can strike the boss even at a distance. It is important to always Lock-On to the Holey Moley in order to track its movements and use the area's map. Its hitbox will remain for a while once it warps away, making Riku able to land extra hits until said hitbox is truly gone. While in the 3DS version of the game it is possible to track down Holey Moley by using the full area map, in Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD, this option is absent, and one can only rely on the lock-on and the ripple that appears on the mini-map on the corner of the screen, which helps locating where the boss appears if their location is outside of that mini-map.

Once chipped down to half HP (or at the start of the battle on Critical Mode), the Moley disappears and several hands appear. Unlike with Hockomonkey's hands, it is unnecessary to beat them to make the Moley itself re-appear, and Riku can wait instead. He cannot be reached by any of their scratches if he stands on a higher ground. He should nonetheless make his Dream Eaters not take any risks at approaching them by bringing them back to him by pressing either both L and R (3DS), or L3 (PS4).

Once it re-appears, only the head does it, use Flomotion on it to use Pole Spin and Buzz Saw to immobilize the Moley for a certain period. The Holey Moley favors shooting gift-like objects at him from afar, but they can easily be avoided. When up close, the Moley will either attack with its claws or retreat into its dimensional hole and reappear close-by, though its retreating will deal some damage. Once it has only one HP bar left, the Moley will become more and more aggressive.
