Loudmouth
Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories
A hopping, horn-like Heartless. It's a bothersome foe that can honk and call other Heartless.
Kingdom Hearts II
It restores the HP of surrounding enemies. Use Heal Stomp with the right timing to heal the party. When attacked, it may call for help, so be sure to defeat it immediately.
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
These small Heartless cause the most trouble when they toot their horns to heal themselves and their cohorts. The wind missiles they shoot can be returned with a block. TIP: Wind-based attacks can air-toss you. While airborne you become an easy target and will take more damage if hit.
Kingdom Hearts Union χ
Inflicts sleep on its enemies. Defeat it quickly before it makes a sitting duck out of you!

The Loudmouth, also called Crescendo, is an Emblem Heartless introduced in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories. It is one of only three Heartless that debut in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, along with the Creeper Plant and Tornado Step.

Design

Based on the design of an old-fashioned vehicle horn, the round, black body of the Loudmouth resembles a squeeze bulb, while its golden mouth resembles the bell of an instrumental horn. The Heartless's black head and antenna resembles a musical note, notably a quaver or an eighth note. A red collar separates the head and body. Two yellow eyes can be seen on its face, and it seems to be wearing earmuffs on its head, which are light and dark blue in color. The Heartless emblem can be seen clearly on the front of its body.

The colors of the Loudmouth become brighter in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. Its body and head are now blue, the mouth-bell is now red, the collar is now a light blue, and the earmuffs are yellow and orange in color.

The Loudmouth resembles a creature featured in the 1951 film, Alice in Wonderland. This creature resembled a duck, with a golden horn bell for a bill, and a purple squeeze bulb for a body.

Musically, a crescendo is a gradual increase in volume.

Strategy

Kingdom Hearts II

These Heartless can be both a pain and a gain. They have low strength, but they can call in reinforcements. They can also heal nearby Heartless, but by using the Heal Stomp Reaction Command, the Crescendo's healing sounds are directed towards Sora's party instead.

The Crescendo retaliates with its Trumpet Strike or Trumpet Summon techniques when damaged.

Trumpet Strike (ラッパなぐり, Rappa Naguri)		Physical	—	x1.0	O

Trumpet Summon (召喚ラッパ, Shōkan Rappa)		—	—	—	—
		Summons new enemies. Only includes any enemy that normally appears in the area, excluding Crescendos.

Reaction Commands
Reaction Command	Attribute	Power	Description
Heal Stomp (スタンプヒール, Sutanpu Hīru, lit. "Stamp Heal")	Physical	x1.0	Can be used when a Crescendo is about to use Healing Trumpet. Perform a small jump and trample the Crescendo, after which it drops HP prizes and its trumpet notes heal Sora's party for (Sora's Magic x 30) HP.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Loudmouths should generally be targeted first, as their healing of other Heartless will prove a major annoyance. If they begin their healing attack, quickly dispatch them before they can finish with Fire or Blizzard magic, which they are weak to. They have little in the way of offensive capabilities save for a projectile attack which can easily be blocked, but will always inflict the Air-toss status effect if the attack lands.

Technique		Attribute	Effects	Power	Guard?
Wind Bullet (風弾, Fūtan)		Wind	Air-toss (100%)	0.73	◯
		Fires a wind projectile at the target.
Trumpet Recovery (ラッパ回復, Rappa Kaifuku)		—	—	—	—
		After a delay, heals nearby Heartless, including itself, by 50% of their maximum HP.
Guard: O = Can be blocked and interrupted/knocked back; △ = Can be blocked, but not interrupted/knocked back; X = Can't be blocked.
