'''Chernabog''' is the demonic denizen of [[Bald Mountain]], that appears as a boss at the [[End of the World]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', and is set to appear in the upcoming ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. He originally appeared in Disney's ''{{w|Fantasia (film)|Fantasia}}'', in the segment set to "{{w|Night on Bald Mountain}}". | |||
The Japanese version of the game uses "Squirming Evil", the track used for most Disney Villain battles. However, in the international version of ''Kingdom Hearts'', as well as in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', the background music for the battle with Chernabog is an arrangement of "Night on Bald Mountain", renamed "A Night on the Bare Mountain." | The Japanese version of the game uses "Squirming Evil", the track used for most Disney Villain battles.

Chernabog has many frightening powers at his disposal. His main ability is to control fire, and uses it in various ways such as breathing fire or shooting fireballs from his hands. He can also cause the volcano he resides in to erupt with tremendous force, flap his huge wings to create a gale to blow opponents away, and, when in desperate need, summon six orbs of light to attack opponents. | Chernabog has many frightening powers at his disposal.

Chernabog first appeared in Walt Disney's ''{{w|Fantasia (film)|Fantasia}}'', during the ''Night on Bald Mountain'' segment, in which he erupts from the mountain in the same way as in the game. Chernabog awakens on top of Bald Mountain on {{w|Walpurgis Night}}, and uses his dark powers to raise ghosts, skeletons, demons, witches, harpies, goblins, and zombies from a nearby town. He summons fire and lava, and makes the wretches in his control dance and fly around, before he destroys them. However, the Angelus bells suddenly begin ringing, heralding sunrise, driving Chernabog and his slaves back into hiding, as a line of monks proceeds through the forest and a ruined cathedral to the sounds of the "{{w|Ave Maria}}". | Chernabog first appeared in Walt Disney's ''{{w|Fantasia (film)|Fantasia}}'', during the ''Night on Bald Mountain'' segment, in which he erupts from the mountain in the same way as in the game.

His name is taken from the Slavic deity [[wikipedia:Crnobog|Crnobog]], whose name means "black god". However, Disney designed him with Satan in mind. His Japanese name, "Demon of Fantasia", references his role in ''Fantasia'', the Disney film he first appeared in. | |||
