Darkside

Darkside is a boss from Kingdom Hearts. It is a colossal pureblood Heartless that Sora encountered 3/4 times. Instances included in the mysterious Awakening, the Destiny Islands, and in the End of the World. It also has a resemblence to Twilight Thorn which could possibly be its Nobody. Sora also glimpsed a number of Darksides within Kingdom Hearts before they were destroyed by King Mickey.

In Chain Of Memories Riku fights a Darkside simalar to how Sora fought him. Zexion creates this Darkside from a copy of Riku simalar to how Sora faced Darkside in The Awakening where it was created from Sora's shadow. Darkside's name refers to how he is often shown as a representation of the Darkness within others.

Darkside's theme song is Destati. It has a heart-shaped hole in its stomach. It creates Shadows by creating an orb which it puts in the hole in its stomach. The monster can also fire these orbs from its stomach as offensive weapons. It's also the very first boss that is battled in the series.

In Kingdom Hearts, at the first battle with Darkside at Awakening, he has 240 HP, his Attack Power is 2, and his Defense Power is 2. Sora recovers no MP for hitting him (because he doesn't know any spells at the time), but he gets 18 EXP points for defeating him. Then, at the battle with Darkside at Destiny Islands, Darkside has 300 HP, his Attack Power and his Defense Power become 6. Sora recovers no MP for hitting him, because again, he knows no spells at the time, but he gets 60 EXP points for defeating him. At the last battle with Darkside at the End of the World, he has 900 HP, his Attack Power becomes 40 and his Defense Power becomes 30. Sora recovers 58 MP from hitting him, and gets 8,000 EXP points for defeating him.

You can also fight with a Darkside in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. It fights similarly as it does in the first game.

Darkside is fought at Beast's Castle (during a mission involving Roxas and Xaldin) in the upcoming game Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Abilities
Darkside is a easy-medium boss, and you can defeat him very quickly. His weaknesses are his head and hands. His attacks in all three battles of Kingdom Hearts are:
 * The Darkside punches the ground, causing a dark pool and mild shockwave to form. This attack gives birth to a small number of Shadows.
 * The Darkside scoops up an orb of darkness, which splits into many smaller orbs that rain from the sky.
 * The Darkside creates a dark force in the heart-shaped hole in its body, which shoots homing dark missiles. These can be dodged by standing behind the massive heartless.
