Leechgrave

The Leechgrave (パラサイトグレイブ) is a Heartless boss which appears in Halloween Town in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. The Leechgrave is fought on Day 256.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
''A massive plant-like Heartless with a savage claw attack. The toxic pollen it spews from its head saps victims' HP for as long as they breathe it.'' Destroy all of the Tentaclaws to dizzy the main body, then move in. Note that defeating Tentaclaws or hitting them with magic will speed up the pollen bursts.

Appearance
The Leechgrave is a large, spider-like Heartless. It has four long, thorn-covered legs, its body a coffin with one yellow eye peaking out and wrapped in chains. A large, bolbous-like object that is maroon and light purple in coloration forms at the top of the coffin. If one looks carefully, a pair of hands can be seen reaching out of this beast's coffin-like body.

Strategy
The Leechgrave is quite the conundrum. Fought near Oogie's Manor, Roxas must deplete its HP while dealing with lesser enemies that the creature summons around it as a decoy. These smaller Heartless, however, are best ignored. The Leechgrave is slow, large, and immobile, using a swinging attack in which it swings its body forwards and deals impact damage to Roxas. It may also slash at the player with its ghost-like hands. The Leechgrave may also emit a cloud of toxicity.

Should one's HP reach the "Alarm Zone," do not hesitate to use the Limit Break. So long as the player heals periodically, this Heartless boss should not be to difficult of an opponent.
