TheMalachite Bolero is anEmblem Heartless that appears inKingdom Hearts III.

Design[edit]

The Malachite Bolero has a smooth, conical body colored turquoise with light-green swirling patterns, and has a Heartless emblem emblazoned on its chest. The top of its body flares outward and forms a jagged "collar" below the Heartless's spherical, pitch black head. It also wears a conical, turquoise hat that has a jagged brim and a thin, curled tip. Like many Heartless, the Malachite Bolero has glowing yellow eyes.

Like other Heartless in its family, the Malachite Bolero's name refers to a color—in this case, malachite—and a musical term—in this case, aBolero, a type of music that can refer either to Cuban love ballads or Spanish dance music.

Strategy[edit]

Kingdom Hearts III[edit]

Malachite Boleros are not difficult enemies. Like other Heartless in its family, they have lowHP and defenses, and can easily be defeated if Sora is fast enough. Their attacks are telegraphed and can be easily blocked or dodged. If Sora wishes to fight at a distance,Blizzard magic is perfect as it destroys the magic circles and will easily kill a Malachite Bolero in a few hits.
