Back when [[Ventus]] was the apprentice of [[Master Xehanort]], Xehanort called the boy to the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] and then summoned a swarm of Neoshadows for him to fight. Ventus was not strong enough to win with only his light, and although Xehanort ordered him to use the power of darkness to win, Ventus refused and was defeated. Xehanort instead decided to use his Keyblade to forcefully extract the darkness within Ventus's heart, creating [[Vanitas]]. | Back when [[Ventus]] was the apprentice of [[Master Xehanort]], Xehanort called the boy to the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] and then summoned a swarm of Neoshadows for him to fight.

A Neoshadow has a more humanoid body structure than a normal Shadow, but shares the same pitch black skin and spherical, glowing yellow eyes. Its crooked antennae are quite long and fall back behind the Heartless. It seems to be rather muscular, and its hands are very large, each one sporting five clawed fingers.

Its crooked antennae are quite long and fall back behind the Heartless. It seems to be rather muscular, and its hands are very large, each one sporting five clawed fingers. Its feet, like those of a normal Shadow, are long and lack digits, but a Neoshadow's feet more resemble boots. Its body is also lined by several faint, blue veins of color. | ||

The Neoshadows are among the most difficult common enemies, working together as a team to defeat [[Sora]]. Fighting Neoshadows is a multi-stage battle, and the stages change based on how many Neoshadows are alive. At the beginning of the fight, there are seven Neoshadows, who will attack by jumping into the air and spinning, then launching at Sora similar to the [[Bandit]]. They will also use basic melee strikes and sink into the floor to avoid attacks, similar to a Shadow. At this point in the fight, they can be affected by [[Stop]] magic. | ||
After there are only four Neoshadows remaining, they change tactics and sink into shadowy portals that appear beneath them on the ground. Afterwards, nine of these portals will appear around Sora, and the Neoshadows will choose random portals to jump out of and attack simultaneously. After attacking, they land on the ground for a brief moment, then the portals reappear beneath them and they sink back into the ground. The only time they can be hurt at this stage is right when they land on the ground, before the portals appear beneath them once again. If a single blow connects with one of them, it opens a short window to execute a combo. At this point, Stop magic no longer affects them. | After there are only four Neoshadows remaining, they change tactics and sink into shadowy portals that appear beneath them on the ground.
