Template:Enemy The Large Body is an Emblem Heartless that appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts coded, and Kingdom Hearts χ.
Design
Nearly spherical in shape, Large Bodies also have massive arms and hands, short legs, huge feet, and tiny heads. These blue-skinned Heartless are clothed in a purple sleeveless bodysuit edged in gold trim; the trim also laces up the front of the body suit across a Large Body's big belly. Along with black curl-toe shoes and black silver-trimmed pants, Large Bodies also boast a massive manacle in purple and silver on each wrist; three links of chain dangle from each of them, and are used as effective weapons when the Large Bodies swing back and forth in one of their attacks. They are topped off by a high silver collar that covers their lower face, and a tiny silver wizard hat that ends in a traditional Heartless curl. As per many other Heartless, Large Bodies have shadowed faces and yellow eyes.
The Kingdom Hearts Final Mix version of the Large Body has a more muted color scheme that echoes that of the Air Soldier. Their skin is now black and their clothing has changed to brown with orange lacing and dull gold trim.
The Large Body's name references the size of the Heartless's round, bloated body.

Strategy
Kingdom Hearts
Large Bodies are very basic Heartless, although they can only be attacked from behind, making it a little more difficult. Make use of the Guard ability—hit 
at the right time when the Large Body uses Charge, or attack just as it's about to hit. This will not only grants Tech Points, but will also temporarily immobilize the Large Body, giving time to run behind it and attack. If Guard has not been obtained use a normal strike to deflect the charge; however, the recoil from deflecting it may present to be a problem depending on the Keyblade Sora is using, and if other elements are present to make the battle more difficult.
Later in the game, when Sora gains access to High Jump, jump over its head and hit it to save time. Through this, it is also possible to inflict damage right on its head from above.
In a group of enemies, this one is a low priority. It is slow, and cannot do damage unless Sora is close. Magic attacks can be used at any angle to deal damage.
If timed correctly, Sora can earn Tech Points for blocking attacks.[1][2][3][4]
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Since Large Bodies deflect attacks to their front, it's hard to land a hit. Sora/Riku must attack the Large Body from the back. Sora can use magic attacks to deal damage. When a Large Body lands on the ground after jumping, it will shake the whole screen, dealing damage to Sora/Riku if they're on the ground. Jump to dodge the shockwave. Riku's dodge will allow him to avoid the Large Body attack and easily get behind it to strike.
Kingdom Hearts II
When faced in battle, quickly run to its back as the Large Body is immune to frontal attacks. After attacking a few times, quickly run away. It will go into Berserk mode which can cause heavy damage. Use "Guard", then it will be knocked away. It will then come back and slide across the floor. Use "Kickback", followed by "Full Swing"—and it will be defeated. The Large Body is vulnerable to magic from any angle.
