The Shadow Stalker is a Pureblood Heartless summoned by [[Xaldin]] after his first attempt to turn the [[Beast]] into a Heartless failed. While Sora, Donald, and Goofy were speaking with the Beast, the Shadow Stalker chased [[Belle]] down to the ballroom, where she called for the Beast's help. Sora, Donald, Goofy, and the Beast arrived just in time to see Belle escape the Heartless out onto the balcony. The Shadow Stalker then turned from her to the party. Similar to the [[Possessor]] Heartless that resided below, the Shadow Stalker possessed the room itself, using the windows, pillars, chandelier, and floor to attack Sora and the Beast. | The Shadow Stalker is a Pureblood Heartless summoned by [[Xaldin]] after his first attempt to turn the [[Beast]] into a Heartless failed.

However, when it is driven from the walls, its chains are released and it transforms into the monstrous Dark Thorn. In this new, powerful bestial form, it attacks the party ferociously with furious attacks and its ability to become invisible. Sora, however, is able to use the very elements that the Heartless had recently possessed to beat it into submission. The Heartless fades back into darkness, and Xaldin leaves the castle to reform his plan. | However, when it is driven from the walls, its chains are released and it transforms into the monstrous Dark Thorn.

While the Beast and Belle reunite after the attack, Sora speaks briefly with the servants of the castle, then opens the gateway to the next world. | While the Beast and Belle reunite after the attack, Sora speaks briefly with the servants of the castle, then opens the gateway to the next world. | ||

*The Shadow Stalker bears an uncanny resemblance to the [[Darkball]] Heartless. The only differences is that it has chains, extra "arms" sticking out, and it has a smoother outer covering. | *The Shadow Stalker bears an uncanny resemblance to the [[Darkball]] Heartless.
