"Hi. I'm Mad Dog. That spiked club you have belongs to me. May I have it back?"

―Mad Dog

Mad Dog is a character met in the Factory Town, near the bottom left. He does not speak much and it is not known how he earned his name.

Background

Name: Mad Dog

Fighting Art: Pure Violence

Past Occupation: ???

Likes: Strong People

Favorite Food: Instant Noodles

Most Hated Thing: His Sons

It's hard to say what goes through this beady eyed man's head. He's known to be very strict on his two children. Rumor has it that Mad Dog killed his son, Mad Dog Jr. The reason being? Jr. wasn't worthy enough of passing on the Mad Dog name.

Appearance

Mad Dog is a heavyset, pale man with beady black eyes, a large red nose, a thin black moustache that resembles a frown, and a large, almost bell-shaped head, a trait he shares with Ollie Nickels. His clothing consists out of a metal cap, a Nipple-Patch, a dark green martial arts belt, and a black pair of shorts, and other than this, he doesn't wear that much, going completely shirtless as is common for some denizens of Olathe.

Personality

Mad Dog's personality can be best described as completely basic, when spoken to by Brad, his speech patterns are shown to be extremely subdued, and lacking in any emotion, he also, as shown by his profile, is very harsh and strict on his two children, killing his own son, Mad Dog Jr. in cold blood due to his apparent unworthiness of the Mad Dog name. However, in spite of this, Mad Dog appears to regret his actions, as he will ask his son for forgiveness in one of his victory quotes.

How to Invite to Party

In order to invite Mad Dog to Brad's party, you must obtain his Spiked Club. This is found by jumping down a ledge in the Factory Road, just before the Factory Club.

WARNING: THIS WILL TAKE 500 HP FROM BRAD'S PARTY. BE SURE TO BE ABOVE THIS AMOUNT BEFORE JUMPING.

After jumping, enter the cave to the left and climb up the rope to retrieve it from a corpse.

The man in which you grab the club from is Mad Dog's son as he bears a "M.D. Jr" tattoo.

Alternatively, you can also give him the Spiked Club you found during the Area 1/2 Transition scene with Rick.

Battle

Mad Dog is a strong party member who can be recruited as early as area 1. Mad Dog always deals powerful damage, and his Nail Comb skill can be quite nasty on enemies. Additionally his strongest attack Hellball unleashes a gigantic fireball at an enemy and deals massive damage in addition to a high chance of burning.

Mad Dog can also use a skill called Taunt, which is targeted at every enemy on the screen. The benefit to using this though is that his TP gauge fills by a good chunk for every enemy he's taunted; if there are 3 or more enemies on the screen Mad Dog's TP is almost guaranteed to be maxed out in a single turn.

One of Mad Dog's downsides is that he doesn't really have a big skill set, nor a diverse one, but it's hard to complain when what he does have is so effective.

Tips

• Visiting and leaving Factory Town for the first time will trigger the encounter with a five-man gang known as the Road Scholars. For early on in the game, the Road Scholars are extremely tough due to their high offense, stuns and above-average HP. If you pick a fight with them and lose, the Road Scholars will slaughter the residents of Factory Town and rob you of all your mags. This outcome will remove Mad Dog from the game permanently if you don't recruit him. To avoid the risk of Mad Dog permanently dying, it is recommended for players to find the Spiked Club first before going anywhere near Factory Town so that Mad Dog can be immediately recruited upon entering the town.
• Mad Dog works well when fighting multiple enemies, due to the fact that Taunt will give him 30 TP when an enemy get's inflicted.

Trivia

• Mad Dog lost his nipple fighting his children.
• Amusingly, Mad Dog shares the same favorite food with Percy of all people.
• Mad Dog along with Ollie, Percy, Nern and Fardy lack a mouth.
  • In fact it's a common misconception that Mad Dog's moustache is a frown.
• Dingaling considers Mad Dog as the most strongest character that can join Brad's party.
• Dingaling considers Mad Dog to be worse than Marty. Given his active desire for familial violence and his mission to continue said violence, it could be argued whether he truly is.
