99 Puppies

The 99 Puppies make an appearance as a side quest in Kingdom Hearts, where Sora is tasked with finding them in various worlds.

Kingdom Hearts
''Pongo and Perdita's puppies. When they work together, they can be tough to beat. Ever since their world was destroyed by the darkness, they've been trying to get back together again.''

They were first spotted on-screen in "101 Dalmatians" (1961).

Kingdom Hearts
The puppies originally resided in a currently unnamed world in the Kingdom Hearts universe, raised by two adult dalmatians, Pongo and Perdita. At some point (likely following their capture by and subsequent rescue from Cruella De Vil) the dalmatians' world was destroyed and the puppies were separated from their parents. During the chaos of their world's destruction, the puppies were somehow bundled into groups of three and forced into chests which then landed in various worlds of the Kingdom Hearts universe.

During his journey, Sora found and freed each group of puppies and sent them to Traverse Town, where Pongo and Perdita had found a temporary home. Once Sora completed his journey and sealed Kingdom Hearts all of the puppies and their parents returned home.

Personality
As there are ninety-nine of them, the puppies have varied personalities. Their common traits include hyperactive, child-like behavior. They all enjoy watching TV, but are all very well-disciplined by their parents.

Appearance
The most notable thing about these dalmatians is that they wear different colored collars to signify their genders; females wear blue and males wear red.

Abilities
The ninety-nine puppies have no apparent abilities.

Origin
The dalmatian puppies are based on their appearance in Walt Disney's 1961 film 101 Dalmatians, which was in turn based on the 1956 book The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith. The puppies main characteristics, along with some of their names (Patch and Lucky included) remained for the transition from book to film. However, the film added two dalmatian pups to the book's original count of ninety-seven; in the original book, two additional adult dalmatians round off the total one-hundred-and-one (the four adults were merged into Pongo and Perdita for the film).
