Top Dogfish are the most formidable, and the most feared non-boss opponent in Mother 3. These chimeras are ranked as one of the rarest and the strongest opponents in-game. The Top Dogfish appears to have a head of a dog, a body of a fish, and possibly bird claws as feet. This formidable foe makes its first appearance to Lucas and Boney during the events of Chapter 4.

Top Dogfish is appropriately named for 'Top Dog', an idiom meaning boss or leader.

Tactics & Enemy EncountersEdit

Top Dogfish are a very rare encounter in a small pond east of the Chimera Lab in Murasaki Forest. Lucas and Boney should be at a high level, with Hot Spring Eggs (if both character's HP falls below 1/3 of their total) and weapons like Pencil Rockets (for Boney to utilize, since he can't use PSI like Lucas) and Made-You-Looks (to buy both Lucas and Boney time to attack).

This atrocious enemy can deal a relatively high attack damage with its standard ramming attack. Second, it utilizes PSI with ease, such as the strong PK Freeze and possibly PK Thunder. Lastly, its cohorts can be the standard Dogfish, which is quite a dangerous foe in these areas.

The Top Dogfish is the only known enemy to drop the Meteotite, an item that sells for 2,500 DP, at a 100% rate.
