Sabor

Sabor was a deadly, man-eating leopard from Walt Disney's , where it was discovered that the leopard killed both Tarzan's parents and Kala's newborn baby. He serves as a mini-boss for Deep Jungle and is fought four times (although third fight can be avoided).

Kingdom Hearts
When Sora first arrives in the Deep Jungle, he falls into a wooden tree house and meets Sabor immediately. Being too weak after the fall, Sabor takes a jump on him, but Tarzan comes to the rescue just in time.

Sabor then appears at the Camp in an attempt to kill Sora, Tarzan, Donald, and Goofy. The leopard appears at the camp again after Clayton attempts to kill Terk. When Sora and his friends go to confront Clayton, they encounter Sabor one final time at the Bamboo Thicket and the leopard is finally defeated and killed. Afterwards, the world's accessory is obtained, the White Fang.

Appearance
Sabor is a leopard with mostly yellow fur, except for the fur around the mouth, on the bottoms of the paws, on the belly, and at the tip of the tail, which is white. Sabor's legs and head have black spots on them, while the back and shoulders sport yellow-orange markings with black outlines. The leopard's eyes are yellow and has six long, black whiskers, three on both sides of the upper lip. Sabor also has black claws.

Strategy
Sabor's attacks are non-elemental, forward dash that acts as a tackle with fangs and claws. If you stay in front of the leopard, it will also be prompted to swipe you with it's claws. Sabor's speed in battle cannot be matched, and it's leaps across the fighting grounds allow it's to make risk-free, long range attacks. Using Dodge Roll to avoid these lunges is the best way to protect yourself. After Sabor charges, make sure to attack it with a three-hit combo, and then remember to Dodge Roll yourself out of the way, so that it doesn't have any more time to attack you. Using Guard against Sabor's attacks is occasionally a better option as it is easier to execute, with fewer risks, and it will give Sora more experience.

Don't fret if you don't get through the first battle—win or lose, the outcome will be about the same. However, do pay attention to the rest of your battles with Sabor.

In Sabor's final battle (in the Bamboo Thicket) the leopard will jump out of sight, and jump back into the arena at a different location. It is impossible to keep an eye on Sabor, so utilizing the Lock-On function is the best way to assure the leopard does not get a surprise attack in. In all cases, if you have not trained Sora well enough, do be sure to heal often. If you send Sabor flying, start using magic until it's is back in striking range.

Origin
Sabor first appeared in the movie Tarzan, as a huge enemy to the gorillas. Sabor ended up killing Tarzan's parents, and so Kala adopted Tarzan as her son and part of the gorilla troop. Sabor later appears at the gorilla's nest where Tarzan attacks and kills the leopard.

Trivia

 * While Sabor is a female in the official Tarzan materials, the Kingdom Hearts series labels her as a male. It is unknown whether this was a typo or a misunderstanding.
 * It is possible to skip the third battle with Sabor entirely. If you enter the tent and begin the cutscene before fighting the leopard, Sabor does not reappear in the camp after.
