The Heartless' symbol.

Heartless are the darkness in people's hearts, or darkness made real. They have a thirst for hearts, and are often attracted to pure hearts, such as Sora's. They were created by Ansem, as revealed by his reports. They first appeared in Kingdom Hearts.

When a Heartless eats a person's heart, the victim turns into a Heartless, while the mindless soul is created into a Nobody.
