An imperial guard dog. They attack with a Bite, but will run away if left alone.Final Fantasy VI PlayStation Bestiary entry
The Doberman is an enemy in Final Fantasy VI. It can be encountered by kicking the chest in the northeastern tent in the Imperial Camp: hitting the chest does nothing. Kicking the chest in the Imperial Camp is the only opportunity to make a Doberman formation appear on the Veldt and only one of the formations (Doberman x2 or x3) will unlock. The Doberman Rage becomes permanently unavailable if the chest is not kicked. The Doberman has no Bestiary entry in the ports. Dobermans are imperial war dogs.
