Dark Thorn

File:DarkThorn.jpg

The Dark Thorn is a Kingdom Hearts II Heartless boss. It was created when the Shadow Stalker becomes unbound by it's chains. It is the final boss of the first visit to Beast's Castle.

The Dark Thorn has the ability to turn invisible. Its invisibility is not very effective though, as a dim outline of the creature can still be seen and Sora can still target it, much like he could with the Stealth Sneak. Also, when invisible, the Dark Thorn is much faster. The only way to restore its visibility is to crush a large object on it, the chandelier being the object Sora uses when fighting it.

Dark Thorn's attacks are primarily physical, and it is a relatively weak opponent. It also bears a strong resemblance to Ifrit from the Final Fantasy series.
