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 only be encountered by kicking the chest in the northeastern tent in the Imperial Camp: hitting the chest does nothing.
Battle
The Doberman is not an overly dangerous enemy but has considerable HP. Shadow should Throw Shurikens at them while Sabin uses a Blitz. If he knows Rising Phoenix yet, it can hit the Doberman's weakness to Fire and do heavy damage.
Kicking the chest in the Imperial Camp is the only opportunity to make a Doberman formation appear on the Veldt. The Doberman Rage becomes permanently unavailable if the chest is not kicked. The Doberman has no Bestiary entry in the remakes, however.
