The Shaman is a type of Emblem Heartless that appears in Kingdom Hearts II. Encountered in the Pride Lands, this creature resembles a monkey wearing a large tribal mask adorned with the Heartless emblem. It also carries a wand using its tail, which it uses to cast magic spells.
Shamans are often encountered riding atop Living Bones. While riding, their magical attacks are even more powerful. They can cast Curse, which is capable of killing even a high-level character in no time. As well as this, they can also cast flaming Will-o-Wisps and Thundaga spells, or attack physically by striking with their claws. They are highly resistant to magical attacks, so it is best to attack them head-on with the Keyblade. There is also a rare chance that a Shaman will drop its staff, the Spell's Relic, when defeated, which Donald Duck can use as a weapon.
