Red Nocturne

Red Nocturne are enemies from Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.

Red Nocturne are members of a strange family of artificial Heartless. Almost every Heartless in the family (with the exception of Wizards and Bookmasters) shares a common trait: They look very much like Black Mages (from the Final Fantasy series), and all have names referring to their color and a form of music. A nocturne is usually a musical composition that is inspired by, or evocative of, the night.

Red Nocturnes utilize Fire magic, although they treat it very much like Blizzard magic in that they shoot it. And, in compensation, they are weak to Blizzard magic. Because they are Fire-like enemies, they absorb any kind of Fire spell cast upon them by any party member. Red Nocturnes, like their relatives, can be found most commonly in Wonderland after the Hollow Bastion keyhole is revealed.

In Kingdom Hearts, Red Nocturnes have 24 HP, their Attack Power is 9, and their Defense Power is 9. Sora also recovers 6 MP for hitting one, and gets 1 experience point for defeating it. However, after the events at Hollow Bastion, the HP becomes 60, the Attack Power becomes 35, and the Defense Power becomes 27. Sora then recovers 43 MP for hitting one, and gets 60 expierience points for defeating it.

Kingdom Hearts
''Spellcasting Heartless. While hovering about, they attack by casting Fire. Having low HP, they keep their distance from their opponents, making them difficult to attack. They absorb fire attacks.''

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
''A magic-wielding Heartless that drifts through the air. It's flighty and hard to hit.''

The Red Nocturne attacks with Fire from a distance, and absorbs Fire damage.

Trivia

 * Despite being more closely related to the larger members of the family such as Emerald Blues, the Crimson Jazz is almost identical to a Red Nocturne. The biggest difference is the obvious difference in size (Crimson Jazz are quite large, while Red Nocturnes are smaller than Donald Duck).
