Kingdom Hearts 2 - Shadow Stalker & Dark Thorn
#kingdom hearts 2#kh2#shadow stalker#dark thorn#heartless#my gif#this boss fight is so cool for so many reasons#it's highly memorable to me because of how it takes full advantage of the location and possesses the entire ballroom#the ballroom is such an iconic disney location so it's really cool to watch it transform into something alive and nightmarish#also how the shadow stalker cocoons itself and emerges as a monstrous form that resembles the beast himself#the shackles representing how he's confined to his castle#the vines and thorns that wrap around its whole body depict his unhealthy obsession with the rose#it even has the ability to turn invisible which could relate to his isolation and how he doesn't even exist to anyone outside the castle#this form is definitely representative of what he could be if he succumbed to his loneliness depression and anger#good designs. good fight. and very cool reaction commands
