Bulky Vendor

The Bulky Vendor is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It resembles a Japanese gashapon machines, and its main function is to provide Sora with prizes. Unlike other Heartless, it has no attacks, and will disappear soon after it is found.

Kingdom Hearts II
''A rare Heartless that can be found in certain worlds. It appears when you poke around various areas of the map.'' ''It only appears in certain areas, and once it appears, it will not appear in that area for a while. Use the reaction command to get items. Figure out its secret pattern to get specific items.''

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
''Uncombative by nature, these mid-sized capsule Heartless will disappear after a short time. They hold rare and valuable prizes, however, and should be defeated when possible.'' ''They gain speed as they take damage. Don't let them get away!''

Kingdom Hearts II
The Bulky Vendor appears in only one world at a time, but moves to the next one once it is defeated or runs away. However, the Bulky Vendor will not appear until after some of the scenery in the room has been destroyed or used.
 * Agrabah: In the Bazaar.
 * Halloween Town: Outside Santa's house.
 * Land of Dragons: In the Checkpoint.
 * Beast's Castle: West Hall.
 * Olympus Coliseum: Cave of the Dead Entrance.

Kingdom Hearts II
Note: In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, the Bright materials were replaced with the equivalent Serenity materials.

Kingdom Hearts II
A Bulky Vendor's HP goes down all by itself, but if Sora uses a Reaction Command on it, it will spit out a rare item. The rareness depends on the amount of HP it has when the Reaction Command is used. The longer Sora waits to use the Reaction Command, the better the prize when he does. However, the Bulky Vendor gets faster as its HP decreases, making it harder to catch.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Unlike in Kingdom Hearts II, the Bulky Vendor must be slain in order to get a prize, but it still appears in hidden areas, and disappears soon after it is found.
