Thief enemy line

Thieves and bandits are encountered several times in Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Like monsters, the Player's party will sometimes fight against them. Often, they operate in groups, and in secret. Lunpa the Righteous Thief is a notable exception from typical thieves.

It should be noted that in the games, Thief refers to one type of monster, Bandit a second type, and Brigand a third.
