Hot Rod

The Hot Rod (ホットロッド) is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts II. Hot Rods are Heartless resembling cartoonish cars that appeared in the Timeless River. They are some of the most powerful natural enemies encountered in the game.

Hot Rods attack with their tires until a good fraction of their HP is depleted. Afterwards, they go berserk and attempt to chronically and rapidly mow down Sora (while paying little attention to Donald Duck and Goofy). A Hot Rod is invincible to all physical attacks while charging, except for a few seconds after every third charge. However, it is vulnerable to magic, especially Thunder and Reflect magic.

A powered-up Hot Rod called Evil Bumper is found in the Cavern of Remembrance.
