In general, Heartless are beastly creatures with yellow, beady eyes. Pureblood Heartless are the more primitive, using more chaotic fighting styles. They are ink-black in color and have antenna. | |||
Emblem Heartless have more varied shapes, colors, and are branded with Xehanort's symbol to differentiate them from the Pureblood ones. They possess unique abilities, for example, the Leechgrave uses its tentacles to eat other Heartless. | |||
The Heartless emblem resembles a heart with a fleur-de-lis at the bottom and a spiky "X" crossing through the centre. | |||
Some Heartless, such as Ansem, fit into neither category, and have a unique appearance. | |||

They are more common in places that are close to or saturated in darkness. Upon their destruction, they simply disappear in puffs of darkness, without a heart leaving its body. While Purebloods have less variety, they are far more numerous in quantity. | ||

Once that machine was activated, most stolen hearts become Emblems, provided they contain darkness. They are more common on the worlds within the Realm of Light, and usually mimic the shape of creatures or objects within that world. | ||
Heartless –Emblem or Pureblood– possess several key characteristics that define them as Heartless. Pureblood Heartless are generated naturally from the darkness within people's hearts. They are typically born when a person's heart is swallowed by darkness{{fact}}, but can also be drawn out by a dark being like [[Maleficent]] or a source of dark power like the [[Keyblade of heart]].<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''' "As Yen Sid says in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the Heartless cannot be separated from the darkness in people's hearts, and have been around for a long time. Beings of darkness can draw out the darkness in the heart, so Master Xehanort could summon the Neoshadows with his own hands. In the same way, when Xehanort and Ansem the Wise's students begin to perform the first experiments on the darkness of the heart, artificial Heartless were created in large numbers."</ref> This process will occasionally also form [[Nobodies]], which are born from the body and soul left behind when the heart is lost. Being born from darkness, they are mindless and act on instinct, their only goal is to find hearts, and consume them to create more Heartless. But what they desire above all are the hearts of worlds, and thus they enter worlds in search of the way into the hearts of the worlds. When they consume these colossal hearts, the remains of the world form new worlds, such as Traverse Town and the End of the World. | Heartless –Emblem or Pureblood– possess several key characteristics that define them as Heartless.
