Matt & Lance with the Ninja Hood.
The Ninja Hood is a male hat available in Epic Battle Fantasy 3 and 4. Its armor counterpart is the Ninja Gear and female armor counterpart is the Ninja Skirt.
Description
The Ninja Hood is a black hood, with a white symbol on top. It also features a similarly coloured piece of cloth covering the mouth.
In EBF3, the Ninja Hood appears to lack stat wise, with small increases to Defence and Magic Defence and medium to Accuracy and Evade. However, it partially compensates with resistance (or immunity when maxed) to Attack, Accuracy and Evade debuffs.
In EBF4, the Ninja Hood's stats stay quite similar to the third game, but as EBF4 doesn't give the players any options to resist debuffs, its former resistances were replaced with two uncommon statuses, Weaken and Tired, and the more common Thunder element.
It also appears in Adventure Story as one of hats available to player, providing a moderate bonus to both Matt's attack and magic.
Epic Battle Fantasy 4
Found in the first dark screen of Crystal Caverns, in a chest that falls down after lighting up all torches. As EBF4 allows no debuff resistance for players, its resistances were changed completely.

Trivia
- Interestingly, if the party leader is wearing a Ninja Hood, it will show them wearing a straw hat on the overworld rather than a hood, as ninjas are supposed to hide.
- The symbol on top of the EBF4 Ninja Hood partially resembles a Chinese character.
