Search Ghost

Search Ghosts are enemies from Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.

Search Ghosts are artificial Heartless created for the purpose of scouting out specific targets. After Sora defeated Jafar in Agrabah, Search Ghosts were deployed to the two closest worlds, Atlantica and Halloween Town. Some additionally entered Monstro the Whale.

Search Ghosts always have a purpose. In Monstro, they scoured out Pinocchio. In Atlantica, Ursula the Sea Witch used them to keep an eye on King Triton. They were called for by Oogie Boogie to search for Halloween Town's keyhole. When Sora activated Doctor Finkelstein's artificial heart, they searched for that as well.

Search Ghosts are most commonly found in Atlantica.

Trivia

 * No matter what, Search Ghosts are always the very first Heartless encountered if the player heads to either Atlantica or Halloween Town after defeating Jafar.
 * Once, Jack Skellington attempted to teach Search Ghosts how to dance.
 * Apparently, the Search Ghosts are easier to control than any other Heartless.
