Character Dog
Race:	Mabari
Gender:	Male
Title:	Mabari War Dog
Appearances:	Dragon Age II - The Black Emporium

"Dog" is the default name of a mabari war hound which appears as the Hawke family dog ​​if the player has The Black Emporium DLC for Dragon Age II. He is different from Dog, the Warden's mabari in Dragon Age: Origins. He can be summoned as a small fifth party member akin to a Ranger summoning animals.

Notes Edit

• Hawke's mabari is not a full member of the party—it cannot be controlled and does not occupy a companion slot in the party selector. Dog is summoned by activating its sustained mode, and remains in the party until killed or until an area transition is used, as with Ranger summons in Dragon Age: Origins.
• The player can choose a name when they enter Gamlen's House and talk to the dog for the first time.
• Each of Hawke's companions has scripted interactions with the Dog.

Bugs Edit

• Occasionally, Dog will appear at the start of the game and follow you until you encounter the ogre, even if its DLC has not been purchased.
• pcps3 After naming Dog, when loading a save game where he is already summoned, his name will not be displayed correctly and he will just be labelled "Dog" again. However, if the sustained mode is ended and he is summoned back after the cooldown period, he will return along with his proper name.
• pcxbox360 Sometimes when summoning Dog, it will not follow your party around and will stay put. This happens most often when Dog alone is attacking an enemy and someone finishes off said enemy from range. This can be solved by unsummoning it, and then summon him again.
