Although it is not technically a [[Heartless]], the information given when the game is paused says to defeat Doctor Finkelstein's experimental Heartless. The Experiment, along with the [[Hostile Program]], are the only boss characters in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' games who are not Disney characters, ''Final Fantasy'' characters, major original characters of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' setting, Heartless, [[Unversed]], [[Nobody|Nobodies]] or [[Dream Eater]]s. Rather, the Experiment is a character within the ''Nightmare Before Christmas'' setting who did not appear in the movie but clearly shares the distinctive art style of that film's characters. It is identified in [[Jiminy's Journal]] with a red background on its panel, symbolizing its role as an antagonist.
==Design==
Like the [[MCP]]'s [[Hostile Program]], the Experiment is [[Doctor Finkelstein]]'s attempt at creating a Heartless; although it does not share the Heartless' nature, it does share their desire for a heart of its own.
 
Although the Experiment, as a character, is original to ''Kingdom Hearts'', its body is constructed from various props that appear throughout ''The Nightmare Before Christmas'', mostly from Oogie Boogie's mansion: its left arm is the vent which Lock, Shock, and Barrel use to send bugs to Oogie Boogie, and its right arm is the torture device Oogie attempted to use on Santa Claus.
