Groundshaker is a boss from Kingdom Hearts II.
Groundshaker is a mega doppelganger-like Living Bone who roams the Pride Lands after Simba triumphs over Scar's Ghosts. The ghosts all merge to form the gigantic Heartless that is easily one of the biggest Heartless Sora ever fights, comparable only to the World of Chaos. The top of the beast is very much like a lush Savannah. He is the boss of the Pride Lands on the return visit.
Atop the beast is an unnamed witch doctor Heartless who resembles a Shaman. Similar to the Shaman and the Living Bone, the witch doctor forms a symbiotic relationship with Groundshaker. When the witch doctor's double-mask rotates, Groundshaker's head would also rotate. One side uses volcanic fire attacks, while the other side uses eerie electric magic.
It is unknown whether the beast or the witch doctor is the Heartless named Groundshaker. Timon hints that the witch controls the beast. It is entirely possible that they are one in the same, as the witch doctor sometimes merges with the beast. However when it dies the Shaman is the only one seen to vanish and a heart pop out. It is easy to tell what earlier Heartless inspired Groundshaker--he has uncanny resemblance in attack style to Behemoth from Kingdom Hearts.
Strategy
The main thing to remember is that ONLY ATTACK AROUND IT'S EYE AND MASTER.
At the start use reaction command to stun the Groundshaker. This will leave it stunned. Combo and use Simba's limit.
Soon you will have the chance to jump on it's back. Attack the shaman.
Near low health it will inflame it's eyes and run. Repeat step 1.
When back on it's back the Shaman can go invisible and use lasers. Combo until dead.
NOTE: When you fall off the back jump up the leg to get back on.
Journal Entry

The main body on the back of the creature controlled his bones, creating chaos in the savannah.
Trivia
- It is believed that Groundshaker is the largest Heartless that Sora ever fought (excluding World of Chaos).
- Based on the beta screen shots, many fans believed that Behemoth would appear in Kingdom Hearts II. It did, only in the Battle of 1000 Heartless, but it could not be fought. Instead, Groundshaker took Behemoth's place as a boss battle.
