Dragoon

The Dragoon is a Nobody that mostly appear in Beast's Castle. It is controlled by Xaldin.

The Dragoon is very spiky, and wields lances. Though most Nobodies are white, it is mostly purple.

Dragoons and their master are, technically, the Kingdom Hearts homage to the Dragoon/Dragon Knight character class of the original Final Fantasy series due to their usage of spears, being dragon-themed (the Nobodies themselves appear as humanoid dragons and Xaldin's spears are dragon-shaped as is his strongest attack) and that they use the Jump ability, the job's signature ability. The fact that these Nobodies, plus Xaldin's spears, are purple also stems from the fact that the standard Final Fantasy Dragoon wears purple or dark blue dragon armor or clothing.

Journal Entry
''A dragoon. A high-ranking Nobody. When a ball of light appears after parrying its attacks, use Learn. Time it accurately, to use Jump to attack.''

Learn can be used as often as possible, so a series of Jump attacks is one strategy option.

Appearances

 * Twilight Town
 * Beast's Castle
 * Olympus Coliseum
 * The World That Never Was

Strategy
Dragoons are one of the most powerful Nobodies. They use the jump attack constantly and it can make fighting difficult. Sora can use the Jump reaction command to eliminate them more easily. The Jump ability also becomes extremely useful when fighting Xaldin.

Trivia

 * The Dragoon's real face is actually in what appears to be it's neck. The draconian head acts as a helmet for this variety of Nobody.


 * A Dragoon is a term used to describe a mounted halberd wielding soldiers. This may explain their horse-like legs and halberd-like lance.
