The Storm Rider is a gargantuan Heartless boss that fights Sora in The Land of Dragons in Kingdom Hearts II.
The Storm Rider is a Chinese dragon turned into a Heartless by Xigbar. It can control lightning and thunder, so Thunder magic is useless. It attacks the Imperial city of the Emperor. The vulnerable parts of the Storm Rider are the horns on its head. These two points are how Sora dealt damage and defeated the Heartless.
Journal Entry
A giant Heartless that appeared in the sky of the Land of Dragons. An intense battle was fought by Sora above the palace.
Originally a creature that gave strength to the earth and people, it was turned into a Heartless.
