Maleficent's Goons are dark creatures ofEnchanted Dominion that serveMaleficent inKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep andKingdom Hearts Union χ. They guard their mistress's castle with their lives and use spears, maces, and bows to attack.
Story[edit]
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep[edit]
DuringVentus's visit toEnchanted Dominion, he infiltrates Maleficent's fortress to freeAurora's heart, battling Maleficent's Goons in the process. Later, after being imprisoned in Maleficent's castle,Aqua andPrince Phillip break out of her dungeon and fight their way through Maleficent's Goons to escape.
Design[edit]
Maleficent's Goons are bipedal and come in two varieties inKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep: one is of a light build and has the head of a vulture, while the other is stockier and has a porcine visage. Both types of goons wear greenish-brown tunics and spiked helmets, and burst into green flames when defeated. InKingdom Hearts Union χ, a third variety appears, also pig-like but taller and thinner than the other with a shock of dark hair and two horns that resemble Maleficent's. These wear only a skirt of the same greenish tone as their skin, and carry a shield with the device of a snake.
The goons wield one of four weapons: a mace, an axe, a bow, or a spear. InKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, the axe-wielding goon is labeled as a "Spear" goon. The name was changed to the more accurate "Axe" inKingdom Hearts Union χ, while a new variety is given the "Spear" title in that game.
Strategy[edit]
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep[edit]
Individually, Maleficent's Goons are easy to defeat. They can become a threat if faced in large numbers, however. Most of the goons' attacks can be blocked, and the "Bow" variety's shots can be deflected back at them to deal damage.
In addition to standard status effects, the goons are also cripplingly vulnerable to elemental damage, as all types will stun them and prevent them from attacking. Since they only act a few seconds after spawning, one should immediatly use their magic command before they get an opportunity to attack and become very dangerous, especially on higher difficulties where Second Chance and Once More may have yet to be obtained.

Origin[edit]
Maleficent's goons first appeared in Disney's 1959 animated feature,Sleeping Beauty. In the film, Maleficent ordered them to search nearby lands forAurora after the infant princess disappeared into the woods withFlora, Fauna, and Merryweather. Sixteen years later, the goons returned to their mistress's side empty-handed, and when Maleficent learned they had spent almost two decades incompetently hunting a baby, she flew into a rage.
Later, the goons helped Maleficent capturePrince Phillip. When the prince attempted to escape the Forbidden Mountain with the aid of the three good fairies, several goons tried and failed to stop him.
