Page should actually be called "Rabid Dog"... a more systematic naming might need to be discussed.

Personally I would upper case every word of the anime names... e.g. "Asian Brown Bear", or "Rabid Dog", or "Mountain Lion" and treat these as dedicated specific names for the Far Cry 3 entities, as opposed to normal dogs or lions.

If anyone cares I could go in an rename the pages, and fix the pages that link to them. — [[User:AEon|AEon]] ([[User talk:AEon|talk]]) 13:09, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

 Several unique animals also appear in special [[Path of the Hunter]] sidequests. These animals are variations on some of the regular animals that live on the islands, usually displaying a special colour or other identifying mark(s) that sets them apart. There is only one of each of these animals, and they will only ever be found during the corresponding Path of the Hunter quest. They are also much more dangerous than their regular counterparts, being harder to kill and more aggressive, a problem compounded by the fact that most must be killed with just a [[Recurve Bow]] and regular arrows. Killing and skinning these animals allows the player to craft the largest upgrade for the games various storage items.

 Pigs are often mistaken for [[Boar]]s. There are several noticeable differences, however. Pigs are slightly smaller, have reddish or pink skin, and smaller visible external tusks. Unlike boars, pigs are not aggressive when attacked, and will always choose flight over fight.

 '''Guard dogs''' are animals that can be found in [[Far Cry 3]].
 They are one of the few creatures that cannot be found in the wild, observed only with [[pirates]] in outposts or story missions.
-Guard dogs can be seen at the very beginning of the game, where [[Grant Brody|Grant]] and [[Jason Brody|Jason]] are trying to escape [[Vaas Montenegro|Vaas]]'s slave camp. At this part of the game, the player cannot interact with them as he's just being able to run away while the dogs are howling to reveal the prisoners' presence to their masters.
