===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===

Realizing his loss to Roxas is inevitable, Riku unleashes Ansem's darkness that he had been holding back from within his heart. Riku, now in Ansem's form, uses the Dark Figure to grab Roxas and knock him out, so that he can bring Roxas to DiZ.

[[File:Strength, to Protect What Matters 01 KH3D.png|thumb|As it disintegrates, the Dark Figure reaches for Riku, echoing Terra.]]

In the sleeping version of The World that Never Was, Ansem appears to Riku, attempting to persuade him once again to open himself to darkness and allow his possession. However, Riku chooses to fight and vanquish his inner darkness, causing Ansem to surround them in darkness and summon the Dark Figure. After a first battle, Ansem enlarges the Dark Figure and merges with it, but Riku defeats this form as well.<!--As Kingdom Hearts 3 reveals Terra's heart is inside the Dark Figure, wouldn't the Dark Figure reaching out to Riku be a sign of Terra trying to get help?-->

The Dark Figure next appears to defend Ansem when [[Hayner]] attempts to ambush him at Twilight Town. Ansem pursues but is waylaid by Vexen's Dusks, with the Dark Figure defending him again.

At the Keyblade Graveyard, Aqua, [[Ventus]], and Sora fight Terra-Xehanort in one final battle. When Terra-Xehanort captures the trio and prepares to do away with Aqua and Ventus, the Dark Figure moves on its own to intervene and save them. It then breaks the chains binding the trio and lays the unconscious Aqua and Ventus safely on the ground. Terra-Xehanort is surprised by Terra's heart taking control of the vessel and insists that it had been consumed by the darkness, but the Dark Figure removes its bandages and declares the promise to set things right it had made as Terra. While the Dark Figure is keeping Terra-Xehanort restrained, Sora quickly uses his Keyblade to expel Xehanort's heart from Terra's body, allowing Terra's heart to reclaim his rightful body and finally terminating the existence of the Dark Figure.

==Design==

When it merges with Ansem at The World That Never Was, the Dark Figure becomes much larger, and its lower body forms into an orb of darkness which surrounds Ansem, with two indigo wings extending from the sides and curving downward.

==Abilities==

The Dark Figure has many dark powers with which it assists its host. It possesses great physical strength, impervious to all damage; its grip is strong enough to crack the [[Lingering Will]]'s helmet. While it tends to stay behind its host, it can be commanded to detach itself from that host to attack its victims. Able to latch onto these opponents and drain their HP, the Dark Figure can also hit them with bursts of energy spawned from its fists, mighty punches, and even spheres of energy. Similar to a Pureblood Heartless, the Dark Figure's most devastating ability allows it to sink into the ground, creating massive shockwaves every time it re-emerges. The Dark Figure also has the power to shoot disc-like projectiles at enemies, greatly multiplying the host's powers with its own as they double-team opponents to ram them with brute force while shining with a dark aura.

====Ansem (first battle)====

When paired with Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, the Dark Figure will immediately go on the offensive in battle, punching opponents if they come too close or bombarding them with dark projectiles if they are out of attack range. On Ansem's command, the Dark Figure will appear in front of him, preventing him from being damaged. However, Aeroga, or attacks such as [[Ragnarok]], can still hit Ansem if Sora runs around to his location. On Ansem's command, the Dark Figure will rush to Sora and swipe at him twice. If any of these hits connects, the Dark Figure will latch itself to Sora and cause his Attack command to occasionally become "Freeze"; using this command will cause the Dark Figure to latch onto Sora and drain a large amount of his HP. It will eventually return to Ansem in the end, however. Use careful timing of the Dodge Roll ability to dodge this attack, as well as use Curaga when necessary. Guard can be used to earn Tech Points when Sora deflects the dark discs the Dark Figure shoots back at it.

====Ansem (first battle)====

===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===

====Terra-Xehanort====

When paired with Terra-Xehanort during the final battle with Aqua, the Dark Figure will do most of the attacking, creating small shockwaves as it reemerges from dark portals on the ground, slamming Aqua into the ground after carrying her high into the air, should the shockwaves make contact with her. The Dark Figure can latch onto Aqua, at this point rapidly press {{Button|X}} to free her. The Dark Figure can deal a powerful punch, release twin columns of energy from its fists, and shoot twin energy spheres from each hand. When very little of Terra-Xehanort's HP remains, it will warp Aqua to Terra's Mind. The Dark Figure will attempt to drive Aqua away from the waiting Terra with its energy sphere attack, which causes [[Blind]], but if she makes it to Terra, she can activate the "Dual Limit" reaction command to deal a significant amount of damage to the Dark Figure by teaming up with Terra and shooting it with an immense amount of light energy.

The fight is similar to the fight from the original game, as the guardian can toss blades of energy and be used as a battering ram by Ansem. However, it cannot briefly possess Riku or shoot out of the ground in rapid succession.
