Some enemies look like existing animals or have animalistic features. Though the game can technically be cleared without winning any of the random encounters, some fixed encounters involve animal-like enemies.

Early in the game, a friendly stray dog hangs around your party for a short time. One of the characters swings his arm above the dog, telling it to "scram!". Apart from that, several enemies appear to be animals, though they are aggressive so it can be said your party acts in self-defense.
