Sabor

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

Story

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.

She then appears at the Camp in an attempt to kill Sora, Tarzan, Donald, and Goofy. She 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 she 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 her mouth, on the bottoms of her paws, on her belly, and at the tip of her tail, which is white. Sabor's legs and head have black spots on them, while her back and shoulders sport yellow-orange markings with black outlines. Her eyes are yellowish green and she has six long, black whiskers, three on both sides of her upper lip. She 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, she will also be prompted to swipe with her claws. Her speed in battle cannot be matched, and her leaps across the fighting grounds allow her to make risk-free, long range attacks. Using Dodge Roll to avoid these lunges is the best way to protect Sora. After she charges, make sure to attack her with a three-hit combo, and then remember to Dodge Roll out of the way, so that she doesn't have any more time to attack. Using Guard against her 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), she will jump out of sight, and jump back into the arena at a different location. It is impossible to keep an eye on her, so utilizing the Lock-On function is the best way to assure she 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 her 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 being a female leopard, 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 her, she does not reappear in the camp after.
