Design

A Living Pod is a humanoid creature clad in a white coat with black cuffs. It wears pale yellow gloves with pink fingertips—causing them to resemble actual hands—on its large, long-fingered hands, which are not directly connected to the Heartless's body and can be "thrown" at enemies. A few holes in this coat expose the creature's ribcage. Its Heartless emblem is printed on the front of its coat. The Hover Ghost's black, spherical head sports a jagged, red mouth and two yellow eyes with black spirals in them. Its right eye hangs down from its socket, attached to its head by a silver chain. It can generate spotlights from its eyes, suggesting that they may be mechanical in some fashion. The Hover Ghost's lower body is a simple, white, ghostly tail with a faded red tip.

The latter part of the Living Pod's name is synonymous with the words "husk", "shell", or "vessel". This could be referencing the Heartless's lust to absorb the life force of foes. The former part of its name highlights its undead, ghost-like appearance.

Strategy

These Heartless only appear in one mission at Beast's Castle, in which you have to break jars. They randomly appear when the jars are broken, so it's possible to go most of the mission without seeing one. However, when they do appear, they are deadly. Their possession attack will remove a full bar of life from Roxas, and they have much more strength than normal enemies.

Your best bet is to simply get to the other end of the hall when they appear, which will hopefully keep them from spotting you. You can then go back and try to break the remaining jars with a quick combo. However, if they fade out while near you, they are about to use their possess attack, so it's advised to run before they can strike you.

If it is necessary to fight them, use Aero spells to knock them into the air, and then Fire spells to inflict massive damage.
