Design
The Candy Apple has the basic appearance of a standard Shadow: large, yellow eyes, a black, humanoid body, hands with three clawed fingers, feet without any discernible digits, and a spherical head. A black stem appears at the tip of this Heartless's head; a gold ribbon is tied in a bow around it. A red slime completely covers the Candy Apple's head, save for the area around its eyes and a small area just below them that is shaped like a small, upside-down heart; this "nose" gives the Heartless's head a skull-like appearance that alludes to the appearance of the Queen's poisoned apple when she first creates it in Disney's 1937 animated feature, .

The Candy Apple's name refers to the red slime that forms the skull-like appearance for its head, resembling a red-colored caramel that apples are dipped into.
