Template:Enemy The Glidewinder is an Unversed which appears in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep in the world Deep Space. Similar to the Magnum Loader Heartless, they come in several colors. As the name implies, these Unversed are seemingly run by a spring-powered clockwork mechanism, as indicated by the key sticking out of their heads. A large group of these Unversed is fought outside the Grand Councilwoman's spaceship by both Terra and Aqua. It is also a racer in Disney Town.

Design

A Glidewinder is a seemingly mechanical creature that lacks legs. Its body is wide, bulky, and sports two small headlights in it. Its arms each end in large, conical lance heads, though they can flip around for it to use its clawed hands. Its head is black and partially fused with its body, and has a large turn key sticking out of the top of its head. It can also alter its shape and transform into a sleeker, more compact and aerodynamic form. Glidewinder Unversed come in several color varieties, including blue, yellow, and red versions, though this is purely an aesthetic difference. All types of the Unversed sport the same red eyes set in an angry expression and the Unversed emblem adorned on the front of its body.

"Glide" is a reference to the Unversed's speed while "winder" is a possible reference to the wind-up key in its head. "glidewinder" is also phonetically similar to "sidewinder", which can refer to an untrustworthy person.

Strategy

The Glidewinder is the fastest species of Unversed in the game. Similar in fighting style to the Magnum Loader Heartless, It will circle around a player before charging at them at high speeds. It can also attack players with its claws. Though Terra is strong, Aqua is a better choice, as she can attack by shooting magic arrows with no chance of missing.
