Prize Pod

The Prize Pod is an Unversed appearing in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. It shares common battle techniques with the other Unversed pods. It is known to drop rare ice cream ingredients needed for ice cream making in Disney Town. If it is not attacked within a certain amount of time and destroyed, it will disappear and will not reappear until you leave the world you are currently are in, and go back.

Design
A Prize Pod is a small Unversed that resembles a pot or jar. Its lower half is dark purple and decorated by several small, violet diamonds. Its upper half is violet. Its lid is black and sports two small wings that it uses to fly. Its red eyes are set in a happy expression. Prize Pods' behavior and tendency to relinquish rare treasures are reminiscent of the Bulky Vendor Heartless.

Battle
Prize Pods appear in exactly one location in each world (a different location per character) and in certain matches in the Mirage Arena. They appear in groups of four and will flee after thirty seconds without attacking once. Upon encountering them and defeating them, they will not reappear until the character has left the world and re-entered. For every hit, they will drop an ingredient to use in ice cream creation in Disney Town. This is the only way to acquire these ingredients. Prize Pods only drop two (and sometimes three) specific ingredients per world, so in order to get them all they must be defeated in every place they appear.

To effectively and easily yield the most amount of ingredients from Prize Pods, it is recommended to have two Magnera and twice as many Thundara commands in deck, arranged so two Thundaras follow a single Magnera, as well as a projectile-type Shotlock. Upon their appearance, use Magnera and then the following Thundaras. This will activate the Thunderbolt Command Style, nulling Magnera, so it should be recast. At this point step back and use a Shotlock to its maximum number of lock-ons. Once they have either been defeated or have fled, go in and collect the dropped ingredients.

Trivia

 * The Prize Pods in Ventus's and Terra's story drop only two ingredients per world. But in Aqua's story, the Prize Pods drop three ingredients per world.
