Lore

Pandemonium War Lore:

Another of my kind blew up into bloody pieces before my eyes. The noise almost shattered my eardrums, which were already ringing from the previous explosions. The violent earthquake forced me to my knees, but I widened my eyes, trying to find him behind the cloud of dust.

"Are these the best you've got? How disappointing!"

I pricked my ears at that low voice. It had a hint of laughter in it. I was right. I didn't believe such a major player like the Dark Eyes would roll up his sleeves, simply to catch a runaway Half-breed. He just liked the hunt, followed by gouging intact eyeballs out of his victims and looking at them in a glass jar from the side where the light entered. I mustered up the last ounce of mana left in me and concentrated it in front of my hands. It jerked forward, missing his face by a hair's breath, its force pushing me backward onto the ground. But it worked. I heard him approaching. The hand that violently grabbed my hair sent a jolt through my neck.

"A Half-breed capable of magic, huh?"

"...I'll be useful to you."

I looked into the dark Abyss that was his eyes and saw the reflection of my face in it, stretched into a big grin, showing bloody teeth. Sarpoza threw me onto the ground and turned, walking away. I could tell he liked me.

"Sir Doghead, Sniff Kei... He's been found."

A puff of smoke dispersed, revealing the reality before me. With the lanky, stupid-looking flunky standing in the middle of it, my office looked more unorganized and shabbier than it already did.

"You mean, he's dead."

"And Ricardo—"

"I don't need to hear that name anymore."

I've failed the Boss. I told him I'd be useful. I drew a long breath of smoke one last time to repel the surging memories of the past. Since I don't have a good weapon to give him, I'll become it myself.

"Let's go to the Doctor. I want to get a gift for the Boss."


Female in her 30s. Kashipa's second-in-command and the leader of its killer units, Dog Leash and Flying Steak. A Half-breed with the head of a dog, she enjoys smoking tobacco mixed with magical plant leaves.

Since the unsavory incident related to Gragor the Black Tiger, many members of Kashipa became opposed to accepting more Half-breeds into their ranks and putting them in important positions. Her magic power, overwhelmingly powerful without assistance from the Abyss, shut them all up and placed her in the second highest position of the organization.

Doghead is probably the only one who can touch her boss Sarpoza and even lean against him without any deadly consequences. Anyone who disclosed any private information between the two has been found dead in a sewer, strangled by a dog leash. [1]

History

Neople-logo.png This part of the current article contains spoilers.

A Half-Breed from Pandemonium, Dog Head is one of the few of her kind who's capable in wielding magic without relying on the Abyss. During her past life, she witnesses seeing Sarpoza slaughtering Beastkin in a attempt to catch her. Infact, he took quite a interest to her magical abilities and Doghead vowed to be useful to him as she would later be part of Kashipa's ranks being placed as Sarpoza's Second-in-command despite members being heavily opposed due to Gragol's actions.

Although she doesn't appear physically until much later, Dog Head is first mentioned indirectly by Trauma Yom when speaking to Healer Soniar that "The Head is watching us!" about their ambitions on trying to get rid of Heart Destroyer Ricardo who wanted Prey-Isys's egg. Sometime after the incident with the Apostle's egg crash landing into Harlem, she orders Sniff Kei of the Dog Leash Unit to track down Ricardo's whereabouts when he ran off into Nighttime Skyscraper.

She is seen as a silhouette as both her and Sarpoza slaughter Isys's Followers who invaded East Harlem as the Kashipa leader begins to initiate his plan. Sometime after Isys was defeated, Doghead gets news that Kei has been found dead when his body got discovered heading back to Kashipa's Headquarters. Expressing disappointment on failing her boss, she and a Kashipa member heads to Gizel Logan so she can get a gift for him.

When the Adventurer and their group start their mission infiltrating East Harlem, they enter Silent Chapel where the Second-in-Command makes her appearance impressed that they made it this far, but refuses to let them near her boss and she battles. After losing, Sarpoza orders her to retreat for unknown reasons. As they reach Mansion de Sarpoza, the Adventurer's group confronts Dog Head yet again when she appears next to Gizel ordering him to detain Ricardo because it's not the right time yet as she teleports them out with a return spell.

Pushing through the Chapel from another passage, Dog Head confronts the Adventurer for a third time after seeing how persistent they've become and fights them. Despite losing again, she praises them for their strength, but remarks something about the time of revelation is at hand and they're too late to stop it as she retreats.

She is last seen with her boss when he tries to kill the Adventurers with an Abyss Bomb only for it to reappear that sucks her, Sarpoza and Pai into a Dimensional Storm, sending them off into an unknown location. After the war's conclusion, Spell Deceiver Zasura would currently take possession of her staff.

Move Set

  • Abyss Energy: Doghead's main pattern. Similar to Flower Queen Blossom's Sun & Moon, all party members will receive a counter icon above their head starting at 0. Each time a player is hit by any of Doghead's attacks, the counter increases. Unlike Sun & Moon, Abyss Energy's counter doesn't go up gradually throughout the fight, and instead decreases by 5 per second after not being hit for a short while.
  • Execution: If the Abyss Energy counter gauge reaches 100, Doghead traps the player in darkness and casts a powerful magic attack on them that does potentially lethal damage.
  • Staff Transformation:
    • Spear Dash: Her staff's tip transforms into a spear as she performs a double dash forward.
    • Aerial Scythe: Dog Head's staff will transform into a sickle, she randomly targets a player and does an aerial attack downwards.
    • Glaive Slash: Transforming into a glaive, she quickly moves over to slash at someone randomly in a wide range, then teleports to do it again twice in a row.
  • Magic Sphere Bombing: Doghead twirls her staff to launch out Magic Spheres that randomly drops down onto a random spot.
  • Pursuit Magic Sphere: A variant of Magic Sphere Bombing where smaller spheres track down each player.

  • Berserk:
    • Omertà!: After 45 seconds have passed, Doghead teleports to the room's center to begin casting down a shower of Magic Spheres with purple pentacles appearing on the floor as she places a mark randomly above a player's head. The player who receives the mark above them must find a safe spot from the pentacles on the room's opposite side and lead the unmarked players to it to avoid being damaged by the AoE explosions a total of three times. Afterwards, she'll drop down another giant magic sphere at the center of the room and go groggy for 20 seconds.

Strategy

  • Dog Head is a very formidable boss as she wields AoE advantage along with her spear that can easily stack up Abyss Energy if you're hit by her attacks.
  • Try not to perform skills infront of her when she performs Pursuit Magic Sphere as the damage it inflicts can easily kill you or party members.
  • When preparing her Spear patterns which are easy enough to dodge, do be mindful of her Glaive Slash since she'll teleport to target players randomly and catch them during the double slash portion of her pattern.
  • For players who aren't familiar with her attack patterns, prioritize survivability and do not risk yourself getting killed if your Abyss Energy gauge goes up as this can cause a huge casualty during the fight.

Trivia

  • Omertà, is an actual Italian Mafia code of silence practiced by the members that forbids them from betraying their 'brothers' to authorities or rival gangs. The penalty for disobeying the oath is death.
  • In the Arad Times, she was referred to as Poison Head prior to her actual reveal, likely a mistranslation.
