Crystalite - Grunt

Something that appeared in my dream, but in the dream itself the only thing on it was its forehead crystal and it looked kinda naked so I added some more. D:

Also note, I drew this with a new mouse so it might look a little awkward, I'm still getting used to it. X3

Of all the Crystalites, Grunts are the probably the symbolistic ones (Like with Shadows = Heartless and Dusk = Nobodies). Its appearance is much like a bipedal lizard or frog, perhaps a cross. When standing on its hind legs, it stands about up to Sora's stomach in height (Which I guess would make it around 4 feet tall). Its fighting style can be compared to Heartless Soldiers, which where some attacks look like effortless and flail-ey swipes. It can also swing its head upward, hitting foes with the crystal forming on its forehead. The crystals forming on its tail can also shoot out sharp shards of crystals at enemies as well. When Spotting a non-Crystalite, it typically cries out, calling the attention of nearby, fellow Crystalites.

When comparing Crystalites to Heartless and Nobodies, they share similarities and differences between both. Crystalites, like most machine-made Heartless, can take on rather cartoony forms and have various different abilities and powers. Like Nobodies, on the other hand, Crystalites are able to act on actual thoughts rather than purely instincts. Also like Nobodies, they seem to be working on a goal. Unlike both, Crystalites follow orders from whatever being they think is worthy, thought not exactly in the manor of "whoever is the strongest or superior."

The Grunts are first encountered by Sora, Donald, and Goofy in Wonderland. While they were searching for whatever was causing the plants in Wonderland to become violent and dangerous, they came across Crystalites, warping out of pink portals. They fought several Crystalites, they found crystal growths in Wonderland, and they seemed to be spreading. They were unable to stop the growth for now, but they did eventually fight a giant Crystalite alongside Samus at some later point of revisiting Wonderland.

Other random notes:
-When defeated, Grunts fall backward and shatter into bits and shards of crystals when they hit the ground.
-Grunts sometimes appear in alternate colors like cyan and red, these alternate colors seem to possess better strength and can use Power Crystals.
