Guard Armor

The Guard Armor is a type of Emblem Heartless that appears as a boss in Kingdom Hearts. It is a large creature that resembles a suit of medieval knight's armor, though its arms and legs are not connected to the body and can move with a certain degree of independence. It is encountered by Sora, Donald and Goofy twice in Traverse Town and transforms into the Opposite Armor during the second encounter.

Abilities
The Guard Armor and Opposite Armor have different abilities and their limbs an move independently from their bodies, granting them a wide attack range and the ability to overwhelm careless players.

Guard Armor

 * Gauntlets - The Guard Armor's arms spin around with their claws extended, slashing enemies that come into contact with them and providing a shield for the torso.
 * Hammerlegs - The feet of the Guard Armor will stomp about and attempt to crush the player.
 * Armored Torso - The main body of the Guard Armor can perform a Tornado attack, spinning rapidly and dealing multiple hits to those around it. It may also perform a powerful body slam that can take off half the player's HP in a single blow.

Opposite Armor
During the second encounter, the Guard Armor will change shape after taking a certain amount of damage. Its torso will turn upside down and its head will sit in the "skirt" of the torso while its arms and legs swap places.
 * 4-Limb Strike - The Opposite Armor will launch all of its limbs at Sora and party in an attempt to smash them into the ground.
 * Back Flip - The Opposite Armor will flip backwards and attack with its gauntlets.
 * Hammerleg-Head - The Opposite Armor's head spins around the legs and attacks with its spikes.
 * Gauntlet-Torso - The gauntlets spin around the torso whilst homing in on Sora.
 * Torso Cannon - When its limbs have been destroyed, the Opposite Armor floats in the air and will fire energy blasts from the collar-end of its torso.
