The '''Nightwalker''' is an [[Emblem Heartless]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
As [[Li Shang]] and his men limp back to the Imperial City, several of them succumb to their fatigue and become Nightwalkers, which immediately attack Li Shang.


A '''Nightwalker''' is an artifical [[Heartless]], first encountered in [[The Land of Dragons]].
==Design==
The Nightwalker has a spherical head with a jagged mouth and glowing, yellow eyes with black rings around them. Its skin is sky blue, and its arms are always held stiffly out in front of its body. It dresses in high-collared, purple robes with hand blue and yellow lining on the loose, furisode-esque sleeves. The front of these robes is magenta with yellow lining. It also wears a wide, flat-topped hat that is purple on top and magenta near the base, with the two colors being separated by a yellow, zig-zagging line. It also seems to wear pointed shoes, though because they are the same color as the Heartless's skin, they may simply be its feet. Its Heartless symbol is printed on a small, yellow piece of parchment stuck to its forehead.


They can be difficult to defeat if one is low leveled, due to their aerial attacks and sweeps.
The Nightwalker's name could be a reference to {{w|vampire}}s, monsters that traditionally could not venture out into light. Its mannerisms also make it resemble {{w|jiangshi}}, vampire and zombie-like creatures from Chinese mythology. Though they initially were said to feed of the qi of living beings, they eventually became known as blood–suckers as well, due to influence from Western stories about vampires.


It's emblem, to be noted, is located on top of its hat.  This makes it difficult to determine whether its type, much like Bulk vendors, Creeper plants, and Rabid Dogs, all three have emblems that are either very small, or in places many don't look at.
Nightwalkers are summoned somewhat differently than other Heartless. The robe and hat appear along with the parchment, which is lit in blue flames, bringing the Nightwalker to life to attack its target.


==Attacks==
==Strategy==
Claw: Nightwalkers swipe twice with their claws, so continue to defend even after the first claw swipe.
Nightwalkers hover in midair and ghost-fire for long-range attacks but also use their claws for close range attacks. When damaged, they counterattack with their '''Spin Slash''' attack. The counterattack can be avoided by jumping. Once the Nightwalker's close-range attack has been blocked, immediately follow up with a combo attack. Continue dodging with jumps or blocking its attacks and countering until it is defeated.


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.
When reduced to 60% HP, the Nightwalker jumps up and down in the air and exclusively uses its '''Tailspin Charge''' attack as its non-counterattack technique.

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.

The Nightwalker is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts II.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

As Li Shang and his men limp back to the Imperial City, several of them succumb to their fatigue and become Nightwalkers, which immediately attack Li Shang.

Design[edit]

The Nightwalker has a spherical head with a jagged mouth and glowing, yellow eyes with black rings around them. Its skin is sky blue, and its arms are always held stiffly out in front of its body. It dresses in high-collared, purple robes with hand blue and yellow lining on the loose, furisode-esque sleeves. The front of these robes is magenta with yellow lining. It also wears a wide, flat-topped hat that is purple on top and magenta near the base, with the two colors being separated by a yellow, zig-zagging line. It also seems to wear pointed shoes, though because they are the same color as the Heartless's skin, they may simply be its feet. Its Heartless symbol is printed on a small, yellow piece of parchment stuck to its forehead.

The Nightwalker's name could be a reference to vampires, monsters that traditionally could not venture out into light. Its mannerisms also make it resemble jiangshi, vampire and zombie-like creatures from Chinese mythology. Though they initially were said to feed of the qi of living beings, they eventually became known as blood–suckers as well, due to influence from Western stories about vampires.

Nightwalkers are summoned somewhat differently than other Heartless. The robe and hat appear along with the parchment, which is lit in blue flames, bringing the Nightwalker to life to attack its target.

Strategy[edit]

Nightwalkers hover in midair and ghost-fire for long-range attacks but also use their claws for close range attacks. When damaged, they counterattack with their Spin Slash attack. The counterattack can be avoided by jumping. Once the Nightwalker's close-range attack has been blocked, immediately follow up with a combo attack. Continue dodging with jumps or blocking its attacks and countering until it is defeated.

When reduced to 60% HP, the Nightwalker jumps up and down in the air and exclusively uses its Tailspin Charge attack as its non-counterattack technique.
