Armored Knight

The Armored Knight (アーマーナイト) is an Emblem Heartless from Kingdom Hearts II. It resembles a knight and, despite its fearsome appearance, it is one of the easiest enemies in the game. They have very low HP, and their Reaction Command, Rising Sun, is very powerful. However, they do tend to swarm in large numbers! Many of them, along with Surveillance Robot Heartless, are fought in the Battle of the 1000 Heartless.

Trivia

 * Seven hundred of these fight Sora in the Battle of the 1000 Heartless, along with 300 Surveillance Robots.
 * Quite humorously, when one looks through the Journal at the Heartless, seeing how many they have slain, the Armored Knight count is usually VERY high, assuiming the player has completed the Battle of the 1000 Heartless. For example: Shadow- 293 slain. Crimson Jazz- 46 slain. Armored Knight- 1097 slain.
