The '''Holey Moley''' is a [[Dream Eater]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. It serves as a boss in [[Country of the Musketeers]] in [[Riku]]'s story.


==Story==
==Story==
After Riku retrieves the [[Stage Gadget]] from the [[Beagle Boys]], he returns backstage to stop the trap [[Pete]] has set for [[Mickey]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]]. As Riku runs towards the machinery, the Holey Moley pops out from one of its holes and knocks Riku off his feet before ducking back into the hole. While Riku scans the room for it, it briefly reappears on the wall behind him and taps him on the back before disappearing again. Momentarily confused, Riku glances over his shoulder and spots the Nightmare on the far wall. He then engages it in battle, muttering how "they just never want to make this easy". After defeating the Holey Moley, Riku returns the gadget to its place and uses it to disable Pete's trap.

The Holey Moley resembles a {{w|Mole (animal)|mole}} that is styled after a knight in armor, it has an orange-to-purple helmet with square-cut out slits for its eyes, its nose peeks out from the middle of its face and is colored red, yellow, green and blue at the tip. On the top of its helmet there are two feathers; one colored pink and yellow and the other blue and yellow from the top, underneath they are swapped in which the pink and yellow feather is now pink and yellow with yellow spots while the other is pink and yellow with blue and yellow with yellow spots. Its helmet is held together by two gold hinges on each side. Its clothing is mostly black, with sleeves similar to those of 19th Century French soldiers, with red slits and red hems. Its hands are a dark purple on top and a light purple in the palm and have two S-shaped figures on the top, one that is orange and yellow and another that is purple and blue. It also has three sharp claws that are mostly turquoise but are yellow at the tips. Its chestplate is black except in the center and two S-shaped figures, the chestplate is a yellow-brown color in the middle and the two figures are rainbow-colored similar to that of the nose. The Nightmare Dream Eater emblem is located on the middle of its chestplate.
The Holey Moley is a {{w|Mole (animal)|mole}}-like Dream Eater that resembles an armored knight. It wears an orange and purple helmet, and its red eyes can be seen through square slits. The Holey Moley's nose protrudes from the center of its face, and it has a multicolored tip. This Dream Eater's helmet is held together by gold hinges, and atop its head are two feathers; one is pink and yellow in coloration, while the other is blue and yellow. The undersides of these feathers are lined with yellow spots and have swapped color palettes.
 
The Holey Moley's arms resemble the sleeves worn by French soldiers in the nineteenth century; they have red stripes and "hems." The palms of the Holey Moley's hands are light purple, while the tops of its hands are dark purple and decorated with twin, S-shaped symbols that are orange and yellow and purple and blue, respectively. Each of this Dream Eater's hands have three sharp claws that are turquoise with yellow tips. The Holey Moley's body is mostly black in coloration; the Nightmare Dream Eater emblem appears on the center of its yellow-brown chest and has a rainbow-colored, S-shaped symbol on either side of it.


The Dream Eater's names are derived from {{nihongo|"Hole {{w|Talpa europaea|Mole}}"|穴土竜|Ana Mogura}}, based on the mole's propensity for burrowing. The English name is also a double entendre on "[[wiktionary:holy moley|holy moley]]", an expression of surprise.

The Holey Moley tends to use "warp holes" to attack at first, mainly using its claws to deal damage. As always, Riku can use Flowmotion attacks to deal quick damage, but beware, as this still will leave him open to attacks. After the hands have taken enough of a beating, the Moley itself will appear to finish Riku off. The Holey Moley favors shooting gift-like objects at him from afar, but they can easily be avoided. When up close, the Moley will either attack with its claws or retreat into its dimensional hole and reappear close-by, though its retreating will deal some damage. Once its HP starts dwindling to the "red zone", the Moley will become more and more aggressive As long as Riku dodges Holey Moley's attacks, the Nightmare will fall with relative ease.  
The Holey Moley is a hit-and-run fighter that uses its claws to deal damage and then escapes to another part of the battlefield via a "warp hole." Riku can use [[Flowmotion]] attacks to deal quick damage to this Dream Eater, and to compensate for his inability to use [[Reality Shift]]s against it, he can use warping attacks of his own, such as [[Dark Aura]] and the Ghost Drive Dual Link. [[Ice Barrage]] is a useful command to use against the Holey Moley, as it can strike the boss even at a distance. It is important to always Lock-On to the Holey Moley in order to track its movements and use the area's map. Its hitbox will remain for a while once it warps away, making Riku able to land extra hits until said hitbox is truly gone.
 
Once chipped down by half (or at the start of the battle on Critical Mode), the Moley disappears and several hands appear. Unlike with [[Hockomonkey]]'s hands, it is unnecessary to beat them to make the Moley itself re-appear, and Riku can wait instead. He cannot be reached by any of their scratches if he stands on a higher ground. He should nonetheless make his Dream Eaters not take any risks at approaching them by bringing them back to him by pressing either both {{button|shoulderl}} and {{button|shoulderr}} (3DS), or {{button|l3}} (PS4).
 
Once it re-appears, only the head does it, use Flomotion on it to use Pole Spin and Buzz Saw to immobilize the Moley for a certain period. The Holey Moley favors shooting gift-like objects at him from afar, but they can easily be avoided. When up close, the Moley will either attack with its claws or retreat into its dimensional hole and reappear close-by, though its retreating will deal some damage.

The Holey Moley is a Dream Eater that appears in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. It serves as a boss in Country of the Musketeers in Riku's story.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance[edit]

The Holey Moley attacks as Riku races to install the Stage Gadget backstage and sabotage a trap Pete has set for Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. It taunts Riku and begins warping around the room; the Keyblade wielder launches a counterattack and defeats the Dream Eater just in time to disable Pete's trap and save his friends.

Design[edit]

The Holey Moley is a mole-like Dream Eater that resembles an armored knight. It wears an orange and purple helmet, and its red eyes can be seen through square slits. The Holey Moley's nose protrudes from the center of its face, and it has a multicolored tip. This Dream Eater's helmet is held together by gold hinges, and atop its head are two feathers; one is pink and yellow in coloration, while the other is blue and yellow. The undersides of these feathers are lined with yellow spots and have swapped color palettes.

The Holey Moley's arms resemble the sleeves worn by French soldiers in the nineteenth century; they have red stripes and "hems." The palms of the Holey Moley's hands are light purple, while the tops of its hands are dark purple and decorated with twin, S-shaped symbols that are orange and yellow and purple and blue, respectively. Each of this Dream Eater's hands have three sharp claws that are turquoise with yellow tips. The Holey Moley's body is mostly black in coloration; the Nightmare Dream Eater emblem appears on the center of its yellow-brown chest and has a rainbow-colored, S-shaped symbol on either side of it.

This Dream Eater's English and Japanese names are derived from "Hole Mole" (穴土竜 Ana Mogura?) and refer to the real-world mole's propensity for burrowing. The English name is also a double entendre on "holy moley," an expression of surprise.

Strategy[edit]

The Holey Moley is a hit-and-run fighter that uses its claws to deal damage and then escapes to another part of the battlefield via a "warp hole." Riku can use Flowmotion attacks to deal quick damage to this Dream Eater, and to compensate for his inability to use Reality Shifts against it, he can use warping attacks of his own, such as Dark Aura and the Ghost Drive Dual Link. Ice Barrage is a useful command to use against the Holey Moley, as it can strike the boss even at a distance. It is important to always Lock-On to the Holey Moley in order to track its movements and use the area's map. Its hitbox will remain for a while once it warps away, making Riku able to land extra hits until said hitbox is truly gone.

Once chipped down by half (or at the start of the battle on Critical Mode), the Moley disappears and several hands appear. Unlike with Hockomonkey's hands, it is unnecessary to beat them to make the Moley itself re-appear, and Riku can wait instead. He cannot be reached by any of their scratches if he stands on a higher ground. He should nonetheless make his Dream Eaters not take any risks at approaching them by bringing them back to him by pressing either both L and R (3DS), or L3 (PS4).

Once it re-appears, only the head does it, use Flomotion on it to use Pole Spin and Buzz Saw to immobilize the Moley for a certain period. The Holey Moley favors shooting gift-like objects at him from afar, but they can easily be avoided. When up close, the Moley will either attack with its claws or retreat into its dimensional hole and reappear close-by, though its retreating will deal some damage. Once it has only one HP bar left, the Moley will become more and more aggressive.
