The '''Claymores''' are the [[Radiant Garden]]'s defensive system, installed presumably by [[Cid]], who also presumably gave them their name.  The Claymores assisted [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck]], and [[Goofy]] in defeating any [[Heartless]] or [[Nobody|Nobodies]] within the village's borders.  At one point, however, the [[Master Control Program|MCP]] of the Hollow Bastion OS took control of the Claymores, making them attack Sora instead.

'''Claymores''' are [[Radiant Garden]]'s defensive system, installed presumably by [[Cid]], who also presumably gave them their name. They aid the [[Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee]] in battle by eliminating enemies that may have infiltrated the town. The claymores can no longer assist Sora in battle after he travels beyond the Castle Gate area.

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
The Claymore is first seen during Sora, Donald, and Goofy's first visit to [[Hollow Bastion]]. Yuffie explains it as the town's defense mechanism and it was possibly created by [[Cid]]. It disposes of small and weaker heartless, and it distracts the stronger ones until a Committee Member finishes it off. During the third visit to [[Hollow Bastion]], the [[Master Control Program|MCP]] takes control of the [[Hollow Bastion OS]], which includes the Heartless Manufactory and the town's defense system, and changes the Claymore's programming, directing them to attack Sora instead.

==Appearance==
Claymores are spheres of light that appear from the ground. After forming a circle beneath the target, the sphere is launched up to inflict damage, similar to a device in the thirteenth floor and first basement of [[Castle Oblivion]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]''. The damage, though, is very minor as it can only send the target flying into the air at best which makes it a perfect target for Sora's aerial attacks.
 
When they begin to attack Sora, the Claymores slightly change in appearance and also make a different sound. They still do not deal a lot of damage and are quite easy to dodge. Another slightly different change in the Claymores' appearance occurs once the Master Control Program takes control of the Hollow Bastion OS; during this event, the Claymores appear more orange than before.
