Large Armors are, as their names imply, fully armored versions of Large Bodies. They are not a great deal stronger than their relatives, but their armor automatically blocks all attacks except those aimed at their heads. Though their attacks are mostly the same as those of Large Bodies, their HP attacks are able to inflict a status effect that temporarily robs the enemy of its ability to use Brave attacks.

Bookmasters are a fair bit more difficult to deal with than most other magic-using Heartless. They cast their spells quickly and their melee attacks are difficult to avoid. They also have the distinction of being the only type of Heartless capable of casting three types of magic, Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder, meaning any of their HP attacks can potentially Ignite, Freeze, or Jolt the enemy.

Saw that there was a peanut gallery on the boss page so I made one here. How does the Crimson Jazz look? Since the Crimson Jazz never touches the ground, I didn't give it any "ground" attacks. Also, the names of its attacks are all subgenres of Jazz.

Haha, yeah, sixteen to go I think. I like doing this, thinking up attack names helps me wake my brain up.
Xelias0 - So...it seems your hearts have led you to obliteration. Perhaps it doesn't pay to be too loyal to one's heart. I will have to be sure and remember that. TALK - My name is of no importance.
I used to visit daily this page - but I grew tired because there was nothing changing. Now is just... wow ! Only little detail (sorry, but I'm like that) : Dual Blade's Spiral Drain Complete cannot drain life (as it is a Brave Attack) and I changed its name to Spiral Blade and removed the "drain life" part. The other Spiral Drain is good, though.

Ah, thanks for that. If I'm counting correctly, seventeen out of twenty-eight of them have been finished so far, so there's only eleven to go. Unfortunately, I have a huge workload to get to tomorrow, so I'll be pretty inactive for about a week at the worst. Hopefully it'll only be a day or two, but I figured I'd give you a heads-up.

Got the Snapper Dog, and the Air Battler and Detonator'll be up in a few minutes. I'd like some feedback on the detail section I put on the Snapper Dog by the way, and if its goodI can do that for the rest of the Heartless.
The Heartless I have almst completely done (save for attack names) are as follows: Deserter, Cymbal Monkey, Large Armor, Hover Ghost, and Barrier Master.
