Nightwalker
Template:Heartless/KHII The Nightwalker (ナイトウォーカー Naitowōkā) is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts II.
They are ghostly Heartless and they hover in midair. They use ghost-fire for long-range attacks but also use their claws for close range attacks. They can be difficult to defeat if one is low leveled, due to their aerial attacks and sweeps.
Nightwalker's appear in a cutscene in The Land of Dragons in which several wounded soldiers become them.

Appearance
Nightwalkers have an appearance similar to that of a Chinese demon, specifically the Jiang Shi, sometimes called "Chinese vampire". A small parchment covering their face implies they are in fact cursed beings.
They wear crimson Chinese robes, but with a deep violet intricate design. The same goes for the hats they wear, which are traditional Chinese top-wear.
When they appear, the robe and hat appear along with the parchment. The parchment has the Heartless Emblem on it. The parchment is lit in blue flames, bringing the Nightwalker to life to attack its target.
Trivia
- In the Nightwalker's artwork it has the piece of parchment stuck to its hat that holds the Heartless emblem. This parchment does not appear in-game, and because of this, the Nightwalker has no Heartless emblem anywhere on its body.
- In the Land of Dragons some of the Imperial soldiers turn into Nightwalkers because of the despair in their hearts.
