TheSpiked Turtletoad is anUnversed that appears inKingdom Hearts III.

Design[edit]

The Spiked Turtletoad is a monstrous Unversed that resembles a large toad. Its main body is blue with a pink stomach and a purple shell covered with black spikes featuring red tips. Its Unversed symbol is on its face, where it has a pair of black stalk-eyes with red horizontal slit eyes, as well as a wide mouth with a purple tongue. On the sides of its face are a pair of noodle-shaped whiskers that end in a pink loop with three spikes at its tip. Its four legs are raindrop shaped and have a black diamond shaped pattern near the feet.

Strategy[edit]

The Spiked Turtletoad can do a flying press to flatten the player (this attack triggersRisk Dodge) and eat the player. Its back automatically deflects all attacks unlessGuardbreaker is active. Some haveFlowersnakes on their back that function as turrets; others can eat Flowersnakes to add them to their back.

Spiked Turtletoads are often accompanied by smaller enemies, so the player should focus on attacking them first to build aFormchange before taking on the big enemy. Once achieved, go up to its face and keep attacking. Formchanges that transform theKeyblade into big weapons, such as theHyper Hammer,Drill Punch,Blizzard Claws, orBlizzard Blades, are the best choices since they are always guaranteed to push back the toad. Once acquired, theUltima WeaponShotlock,Infinity Circle, can also destroy a Spiked Turtletoad in a single salvo on lower difficulties or at higher levels.
