The Rapid Thruster is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts II. Rapid Thrusters never appear alone. They are always accompanied by other Rapid Thrusters, be it two or one hundred.
Design[]
A Rapid Thruster has a spherical, black head with glowing, yellow eyes and a jagged mouth. Its head is surrounded by a large, two-pronged, beak-like helmet that sports a black spike on either of its sides. The helmet itself is orange and the Heartless emblem is on its top. Its body is also spherical, black, and only slightly larger than its head. It lack arms, and its legs are thin and do not have distinct digits. It has a propeller attached to its rear that it uses to fly. Its neck and body are separated by a thin, cyan line.
The Rapid Thruster's name refers to its speed—hence, "rapid"—and the propeller on its back—a "thruster" is a propulsion device.
Strategy[]
Rapid Thrusters have low health and can be defeated easily but to compensate they tend to appear in groups using wide ranged magic such as Magnet and Thunder prove to be effective.
Another effective to dispatch a group of Rapid Thrusters is use to the Reaction Commands Speed Trap or Aero Blade while Speed Trap can interrupt the Rapid Thruster's Beak Rush attack.
