Hearty dog

Hearty dog, known in Japan as bulldog of love, is an enemy fought on Cassia in Magical Starsign. It appears in multiple formations in random encounters in Mandarin Beach, Dragon Beach, and the Great Dragon Road.

Profile
Hearty dogs are bulldogs with pink fur and a large, round body. They have long floppy ears, and a blue heart on their chest.

Enemy
Despite possessing the light starsign, hearty dogs do not possess any spells. Their physical skill crush is their primary means of attack, damaging one member of the party. They also have the skill hula, which can cause party members to have temporarily reduced intelligence. On the Great Dragon Road, hearty dogs appear in various formations with ice chunks. If a hearty dog uses love shower on an ice chunk, it will use thaw to become a mossling, sniffles, or funguroach, depending on the type. Love shower can otherwise be used as a healing spell.

Bestiary entry
This loyal bulldog wanders around trying to make people happy. Unfortunately, his freakish appearance usually frightens them off, as does the slobber.
