Red Nocturne

The Red Nocturne (レッドノクターン) is an Emblem Heartless which appears in 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.

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).
 * Along with the Shadow Heartless, the Red Nocturne is the only visible field Heartless in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.
