The '''Foo dog''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first introduced in {{DQ4}}.

Foo dogs are large {{Beast}}s that are a cross between lions and rabid dogs with silvery white fur, a golden mane and tail and gold tufts of hair on its legs and paws. It has glowing yellow eyes and drool trailing from its fang-lined mouth. In the {{Monsters S}} spinoff games, the foo dogs are part of the [[Material family]] as a reference to the guardian lion dog statues they are based on.

Two Foo dogs at either side of [[Master Kung]] are encountered in a boss fight in {{Dragon Quest IV}}. [[Master Kung]] demands sacrificial female victims brought to an altar behind the [[church]] in [[Taborov]].

==Etymology==

Foo dog is a corruption of ''fu dog'', another term for the [[Wikipedia:Chinese guardian lions|Chinese lion guardians]] frequently seen in statue form at the entrances of buildings. In Japan, they are known as ''shishi'' or ''komainu''.

The two Foo dogs being paired with Master Kung can form a name that is based on the word "kung-fu" (Master ''Kung'' and ''Foo'' dog).
