'''Rashers''' is a pig-like boss encountered in {{DQ7}}.

He and his partner [[Stripes]] are lackeys of [[Cardinal Sin]] that guard the entrance to {{Alltrades Abbey 7}}.

==Characteristics==
A [[Beast family|beastly]] demonic dark pig that stands on two trotters, ever ready to strike and smash with his massive bludgeoning club. Rashers wears a white shirt with a crescent moon design, white armlets, and a white mawashi similar to those worn by sumo wrestlers. In the first battle against him, he uses the [[Jolly Rager]] watery skill to strike down all enemies in a single swathe. Rashers can also blow up [[Sandstorm]]s in order to cause blindness. His English name, Rasher, refers to a thin slice of bacon or ham. Rashers and his fellow guard Stripes delight in the newfound power that the Cardinal has granted them in order to crush any [[human]]s that attempt to traverse the [[Western Cave]]. The two together are not particularly bright themselves, being fooled easily by the thief [[Fingers]] and prefer to use their brute force and unfair advantage in combat to overpower their foes. 

==History==
On the island where {{Alltrades Abbey 7}} is located, the [[Orgodemir|Demon King]] sent [[Cardinal Sin]] to take over the temple in order to prevent any adventurers from becoming [[Hero]]s and to steal powers away from unsuspecting [[human]]s and use them as an offering. [[Cardinal Sin]] placed both Rashers and [[Stripes]] guard the entrance to the [[Precipice Pass]] and augmented their powers so no [[human]]s would be able to stand up to them.

==Strategy==
The first battle against Rashers and [[Stripes]] in the [[Western Cave]] is completely unwinnable in both versions of the game, due to a combination of having an exceedingly high amount of {{HP}} and simply recovering too much {{HP}} each turn for the {{Party 7}} to make any dent. In the original [[Sony PlayStation]] version, it is theoretically possible to beat the two if the {{Party 7}}'s levels are raised to an absurdly high level, but it makes no impact on the story as the game continues as if the {{Party 7}} has been defeated in any case. Rashers and Stripes have an infinite amount of {{HP}} in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version, so it is impossible to try defeating them.

The second time the {{Party 7}} faces Rashers and [[Stripes]], High Priestess [[Jacqueline]] negates the stolen power that has been granted to them and [[Eustace]] joins in order to face them on equal footing. Rashers will no longer be able to use [[Jolly Rager]] on the {{Party 7}}, but he can still land {{Desperate attack}}s and blow up sand to blind the {{Party 7}}. It will still be a difficult fight since the {{Party 7}} hasn't gained back their lost abilities or spells, forcing them to rely on [[Medicinal herb]]s and the [[Salvation stone]] for healing. It is a good idea to focus on defeating Rashers first as his [[Sandstorm]] is a nuisance. As long as the {{Party 7}} stays regularly healed, the two beasts will eventually be defeated.
