Sabor

Sabor was a deadly, man-eating leopard from Walt Disney's , where it was discovered that he 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.

He then appears at the Camp in an attempt to kill Sora, Tarzan, Donald, and Goofy. He 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 he 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 his mouth, on the bottoms of his paws, on his belly, and at the tip of his tail, which is white. Sabor's legs and head have black spots on them, while his back and shoulders sport yellow-orange markings with black outlines. His eyes are yellow and he has six long, black whiskers, three on both sides of his upper lip. He also has black claws.

Strategy
Sabor's attacks are non-elemental, forward dash that acts as a tackle with fangs and claws. If Sora stays in front of him, he will also be prompted to swipe with his claws. His speed in battle cannot be matched, and his leaps across the fighting grounds allow his to make risk-free, long range attacks. Using Dodge Roll to avoid these lunges is the best way to protect Sora. After he charges, make sure to attack his with a three-hit combo, and then remember to Dodge Roll out of the way, so that he doesn't have any more time to attack. Using Guard against his 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 Sora doesn't get through the first battle—win or lose, the outcome will be about the same. However, do pay attention to the rest of the battles with Sabor.

In Sabor's final battle (in the Bamboo Thicket) he will jump out of sight, and jump back into the arena at a different location. It is impossible to keep an eye on his, so utilizing the Lock-On function is the best way to assure he does not get a surprise attack in. In all cases, if Sora isn't trained well enough, do be sure to heal often. If Sora sends him flying, start using magic until he 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 him 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 Sora enters the tent and begin the cutscene before fighting him, he does not reappear in the camp after.
