Poison Plant

The Poison Plant is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Design
A Poison Plant is meant to resemble a large flower, and is much larger than any of its relatives. Its base is black and is surrounded by four salmon pink leaves, while its stem is light green. Its hexagonal face is black with yellow border. Its mouth is jagged and its eyes are glowing yellow. Its face is decorated by four salmon pink flower petals with white edges. The Heartless emblem is emblazoned on the lower half of its body.

The Poison Plant's name clearly references its floral appearance, as well as the poison it fires.

Strategy
At the start of the battle, the Poison Plant fires a ball of poison in your direction which can blind you or take away your jumping ability. Try jumping to dodge it, and then use Lock-On. You may then begin to hammer the stationary boss with the Keyblade. Use caution, as the boss soon begins to slam its head against the ground to deal damage. It is impervious to physical damage when it does this, so do not bother to attack it. It lasts for a few seconds, so use this advantage to get away and use magic or heal yourself. The slamming attack can be prevented with a combo finisher. The Fire Spell will also burn the Heartless Boss, dealing extra damage for a few seconds after the initial hit. Do not worry though, if you do not do this, as Xion often uses Fire Magic on her own.

Bring as many healing items as possible into this battle, and remember to dodge.
