Dune

Dune is the true leader of the Desert Apostles in Heartcatch Pretty Cure!, having fought against several generations of Pretty Cure before facing Cure Flower 50 years prior to the season's start. He is first shown as a shadow on a video screen, talking to Sabaku about the new fairy that has been born. He is shown in flashbacks and in several later episodes, but his true form and appearance is revealed in Episode 45.

Trivia

 * During a transmission to Sabaku and Dark Cure, a dark coloured creature can be seen on Dune's left shoulder. It is unknown what this creature is or if it is merely part of Dune. It is possible it could be similar to the fairies and is what grants him is power. Its origins are also unknown.
 * Even after 50 years it would appear Hanasaki Kaoruko still has a connection with Dune, as she can feel he is returning. This connection could be explained with the fact Cure Flower sealed his powers and it is that which is what connects the two.
 * Dune is the only villain in the Pretty Cure Universe who can become a planet-sized being, only been beaten by the Movie Villain Black Hole.
