The '''Leechgrave''' is an [[Emblem Heartless]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. It is one of the bosses at [[Halloween Town]]. The '''Tentaclaws''' are its arms, which it uses to consume other Heartless.

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
After pulling a prank on [[Roxas]], [[Barrel]] finds something strange in the Graveyard and decides to keep it at the Manor Ruins. It eventually begins to grow into a Heartless.

After finishing a mission to exterminate a [[Carrier Ghost]] at Halloween Town, Roxas heads back to [[Castle That Never Was|the castle]]. However, as he approaches the [[Corridor of Darkness|portal]] home, he is startled when a Tentaclaw suddenly bursts from the ground. He defeats the Tentaclaw and goes home, but a month later, the Organization learns that all the Emblem Heartless have mysteriously disappeared from Halloween Town.

Roxas is sent to investigate, and discovers that Tentaclaws have overrun the town. He tracks them to their source, and finds the Leechgrave, which had been eating the other Heartless. After a battle, Roxas defeats the Leechgrave and releases its heart. Unbeknownst to Roxas, [[Jack Skellington|Jack]] observes him while brainstorming new scares. The combination of Roxas's [[black coat]] and the Leechgrave's tentacles inspires Jack to create the [[Scarecrow]], which he presents to [[Dr. Finkelstein]], as Roxas passes by on his way home.

==Design==
The Leechgrave's main body is a decrepit, black coffin with pale gold lining. This coffin is surrounded by a large, silver chain, has two large, silver nails driven partway into it, and has a small hole near its top where a single, glowing yellow eye peers out. Occasionally, two large, pale green, clawed hands are able to force their way out of the coffin, though no other part of the coffin's contents are visible. Its Heartless emblem is on the lower half of the coffin, and there are other red patterns resembling claw marks decorating it. This coffin hangs from a pink and red-violet bud with angular, pale yellow spirals for eyes. This bud sprouts four lone, dark green, thorny roots that keep the Leechgrave anchored to the ground.

These roots are the source of the Tentaclaws, the Leechgrave's appendages. A Tentaclaw is a black creature lined by thorns. Its tip is red and it has three black mandibles, each with three curved spikes resembling scythe blades.

The Leechgrave's name references the casket-shape of its body and its cannibalistic behavior. By devouring other Heartless, it steals the hearts [[Organization XIII]] hopes to use, thus making it a leech or parasite to their goals. The Tentaclaw's name reflects its tentacle-like body and its clawed mandibles.

==Strategy==
Equip Fire magic for this battle.

The Leechgrave is a large Heartless rooted in the ground. At the start of the battle, four Tentaclaws spawn around the Leechgrave. 

The safest strategy is to avoid directly attacking the Leechgrave: it is immune to magic, and any melee attack will leave Roxas in range of its high-damage Slash attack. Focus instead on destroying the Tentaclaws using attacks and Fire spells, while dodging the Leechgrave's Poison Bullets and Poisonous Pollen attacks. Block the Tentaclaws' Swallow attack to stun them, leaving them open to attack.

When all four Tentaclaws are destroyed, the Leechgrave falls over and stops attacking. Use this opening to attack the Leechgrave directly. After a brief period, the Leechgrave recovers and all four Tentaclaws regenerate.

Damaging the Leechgrave while its Tentaclaws are alive is dangerous but possible. To do so, approach the Leechgrave, then quickly move out of range before it Slashes. Slash has a short cooldown, leaving a brief opening for Roxas to deal damage. Be ready to move away once the Leechgrave begins another attack.

To increase Roxas's damage output, consider using Limit Break. Kill three Tentaclaws, then leave the fourth to whittle away at Roxas's health. Kill the fourth Tentaclaw when Roxas's HP reaches the Alarm Zone. Then, unleash a Limit Break on the Leechgrave while it is stunned.
