Crimson jazz

The Crimson Jazz, the largest Heartless in its family, is a powerful relative to the Red Nocturne, and can be a real danger if not quickly destroyed. Like its predecessor, it utilizes Fire magic. However, its magic is more focused on surrounding and crushing the target with explosions rather than shooting flames.

Crimson Jazz attacks with exploding mines that follow you until they explode. Even after a Crimson Jazz is destroyed, any existing mines will still follow you until they explode! And with magic-resistance and having the airborne trait, this Heartless can pose quite a threat. This Heartless has a small fire pattern along the bottom of itself and just appears to be a bigger version of its predecessor.

A Crimson Jazz has a smooth, conical, red body with a Heartless emblem emblazoned on its chest and a yellow flame pattern decorating the base of its body. 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, red hat that is yellow on the inside, has a jagged brim, and a thin, curled tip. A black and yellow band encircles the bottom stem of the hat. Like many Heartless, the Crimson Jazz has glowing yellow eyes. Its seemingly useless feet sport three small, thin toes. The Crimson Jazz is one of the largest members of its family of Heartless, only contested by the likes of the Emerald Serenade and Pink Concerto.

The Crimson Jazz, like many other Heartless in its family, is named after a color—in this case, crimson, a shade of red—and a musical term—in this case, jazz.
