"Hmm, I thought alcohol was supposed to be bad for dogs. I guess I know nothing."

―Matt, Epic Battle Fantasy 4
The Tanuki Dog is a foe in Epic Battle Fantasy 4 and 5, and a summon in the latter. In EBF4, it appears mostly around the desolate parts of Ashwood Forest; in EBF5, it tends to be found in Mystic Woods.

Appearance

Based off real life tanuki (Japanese raccoon dog), the Tanuki Dog has the structure of a canine and brown fur. There is a patch of darker brown fur near its eyes and at the end of its long fluffy tail. The Tanuki Dog also has a round barrel apparently filled with alcohol tied around its neck with a red string.

Battle logic

The following describes general logic of the enemy and attack patterns, with chances of each attack to be used. Conditions are listed from highest to lowest priority unless specified otherwise.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4

• Syphoned → Backflip;
• Berserked → Burning Dive;
• Otherwise → Backflip (1/3), Burning Dive (1/3), Alcoheal (1/3).

Epic Battle Fantasy 5

Action

• If catch score >55 and all players are Lovable → Surrender;
• If Syphoned → Hit (1/2), Backflip (1/2);
• If Berserked → Burning Dive;
• <49% HP → Alcoheal (6/9), Hit (1/9), Backflip (1/9), Burning Dive (1/9);
• Otherwise → Hit (1/3), Backflip (1/3), Burning Dive (1/3).

The Dog will target the last player who attacked them with their attacks. That said, if their selected target happens to be Burned or Scorched, they'll switch to a different target (unless no other targets are available).

Counter (only if Counter-Attacking Foes is enabled)

• 25% → Backflip.

Additionally, if any front line player has equipment that scares Beasts, the Tanuki Dog will simply Surrender on their turn.

Summon

In EBF5, the foe can be captured to be used as a summon.
