Template:Enemy The Hachi Queen is a Dream Eater that appears in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. It serves as a boss during Riku's Dive to La Cité des Cloches and Sora's Dive to The World That Never Was.
Development
The Hachi Queen was originally created as a much smaller common Dream Eater before being reintroduced as a Dive Mode boss. During battle, the Hachi Queen would have sat in the eye of a needle and spun like a top.[1]

It has a very narrow head with two large red eyes, it's face is almost framed in orange lines and it wears a crown in the shape of an orange tulip on the top of its head. Behind its head it has two long protrusions that curl at the ends, these are colored white, yellow, orange and green. The Hachi Queen has a white puffy neckline and appears to wear a large dress which is black in the middle, purple and pink with white lining at the bottom and an underlying layer of green and orange petals on black. It also has two arms which are blue and purple, its hands are black with red and yellow shapes, the hands end in a spike. At the bottom of its body it has a sharp protrusion colored purple.

Notes and references
- ^ Kingdom Hearts 3D Ultimania: Mamoru Ohashi: "Of course, halfway through development many Dream Eaters were cut to my extreme sadness. Among them was Hachi Queen, which began designed as a normal small-fry enemy and cut but made a miraculous recovery as a Dive Mode boss, which is rare to have happen. By the way, when it was small-fry it attacked by sitting in the eye of a needle and spinning like a top."
