Wild Doge

Wild Doge (野生のわんこ, Yasei no Wanko, Wild Doggy) is a Traitless/Behemoth enemy that appears in Legend Stages and the Zombie Outbreaks of Cats of the Cosmos Chapter 2.
==Enemy==
Essentially a Traitless/Behemoth Relic Doge, Wild Doge is faster than it and has even higher DPS, Area Attack, has a chance to survive a lethal strike, is immune to Surge Attacks and has almost no backswing, making him one of the strongest Doge variants when it comes to pushing. In odd contrast to the bulk of Doge's other variants, he also has slightly longer range than most meatshields rather than being outranged himself (this includes units such as Jellycat and Teacher BearCat, so timing may be required). 
As Wild Doge is considered Traitless, any abilities targeting "all traits" or "Traited enemies" (e.g., Shining Amaterasu's Massive Damage, Baby Gao's Strong Against and Wafer Cat's Slow) will not activate against Wild Doge. On the otherhand, abilities specifically targeting Traitless or Behemoth enemies (Shadow Gao's Massive Damage, Courier Cat's Behemoth Slayer) continue to function per usual. Units with both Behemoth Slayer and stat-boosting anti-Traitless abilities can stack, as in the case of Haniwa Cat and Cop Cat.
==Strategy==
Being immune to Surges changes little unless you rely heavily on Surge Attackers to win stages; the real problem comes from his extreme pushing power and ability to survive an attack from Awakened Bahamut Cat or other hard-hitting units and then land a hit on them. Otherwise, treat Wild Doge like you would any of Doge's stronger variants, but with longer range and no trait. Without anti-Traitless Cats, the best strategy is to wear him down with Area Attackers like Cameraman Cat, Paris Cat and Crazed UFO Cat. Ururun and Urs could be especially good for controlling hordes of them. Courier Cat can deal good damage reliably, but its Long Distance ability necessitates having some support. In True Form, Reborn Warrior Doguemon can not only resist Wild Doge, but, with good survive luck, one-shot him at 200% at level 33, giving you an excellent counter to them in late-game.
Buffed Wild Doges in general can be a major threat without high-level cats. While Fallen Bear Cat's Behemoth Slayer ability is usually inconsequential, it outranges Wild Doge and gains enough damage to instantly knockback a 200% Wild Doge at level 49. Defensively, even though Wild Doge isn't a Black enemy, Crystal Li'l Gau Gau is a surprisingly viable meatshield at level 50+13, tanking one hit from a 200% Wild Doge while having almost the shortest recharge time possible.

==Trivia==
*Design-wise, Wild Doge is a Doge mixed with a Canyne/Palamute from the Monster Hunter series - the tip-off is the white "X" on his forehead.
*Wild Doge's description references the Jack London novel The Call of the Wild, which details its canine protagonist's transformation during his exposure in nature, ending with him embracing his new life as a feral beast with Canadian wolves.
*The "tropics" where Wild Doge became a Behemoth are implied to be Iriomote Island, a sparsely-populated subtropical island that appears as stage 48 in the Japanese Version of Empire of Cats, replaced by the Moon in other versions of the game.
**The term "underlying power of the wild" (野生の底力) in Wild Doge's Japanese description also appears on the tree that serves as Iriomote Island's base.
**Wild Doge appears in Ape Lord's Revenge and Birth of True Man, which have a similar enemy base to Iriomote Island.
**Awamori, the drink mentioned in Wild Doge's Japanese description, is a signature product of Okinawa, the Japanese prefecture where Iriomote Island is located.
***Another Behemoth with a potential connection to this island is Crustaceous Scissorex, whose shell is the skull of a Bun Bun - an enemy introduced in Chapter 3 Iriomote Island.
*The phrase "a life spent in pursuit of the ultimate wave" in Wild Doge's description may be a reference to Surfer Cat, implying a connection between the two.
*Along with Ragin' Gory and Ultima Beast Naala, Wild Doge was one of the three enemies that were updated to have the Behemoth type in Version 11.5.
*Wild Doge and Ragin' Gory are the only Behemoths to have any hiragana in their Japanese names.
