Gold Tricholoma

The Gold Tricholoma is an Emblem Heartless that is introduced in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded.

Design
A Gold Tricholoma has a spherical, pitch black head with two glowing yellow, beady eyes. It wears a round, golden cap on its head that sports two black, angular spirals on its front. It also seems to wear a golden smock that completely covers its legs and thin, fingerless arms. Its Heartless emblem is present on the front of this smock.

The Gold Tricholoma's name references its golden coloration and , a genus of fungus.

Strategy
Gold Tricholomas are Heartless very similar to the Prize Pod Unversed and the Bulky Vendor Heartless. Gold Tricholomas can sometimes appear on a System Sector floor, but only in one room, and only after at least one room has been cleared of bugs. They appear most reliably in the Cave of Wonders / Gauntlet System Sector.

Once found, the Gold Tricholoma will keep vanishing and reappear in a new part of the room, making it difficult to close in on it. After a short period, it will also shroud itself in a cloud of poison that damages and s Data-Sora on contact. However, the Tricholoma drops SP prize orbs each time it is hit, and when it is defeated it relinquishes a jackpot of SP. Tricholomas are vulnerable to most status effects, so they can easily be slain by immobilizing them with a freeze or air-toss, or by simply striking them with powerful Keyblades.
