- "Omg, so cute! ^_______^"
- ―Natalie meets a Friend Dog, Epic Battle Fantasy 4
The Friend Dog is a foe and a summon in Epic Battle Fantasy 4. It can be met in many areas, but only in few exemplars. It is a member of the Dog enemy family.
Appearance
Friend Dog has white fur, brown paws, and a short tail. Its accessory is a round barrel tied around its neck. The barrel has a large red cross on the front.
Overview
Friend Dog poses a very little threat on its own, as this peaceful creature simply won't even attack its adversary. Instead Friend Dog will support its teammates by buffing their stats, or will use its cuteness to reduce enemies' will to fight.
Similarly to other foes that can buff their allies, it is often recommended to deal with Friend Dog as fast as possible, as its support will make defeating other foes much harder.
