Mauler enemy line

The Mauler, Ravager, and Grisly are enemies that are randomly battled throughout each game in the. These monsters resemble bears standing on their hind legs in the GBA games, but in Dark Dawn they receive a drastic redesign where they are now more hulking, vaguely demonic bear-like creatures with huge claws on their arms. In any game's case, they are palette swaps of each other that have differing levels of power and defense and are fought in different locations in the games.

Mauler
A Mauler (グリズリー Grizzly) is a brown-furred level 9 variant. In Golden Sun, it is battled in the wintry overworld region of Angara around Mercury Lighthouse and within that dungeon as well. Later, it is fought in the overworld region of Angara around Fuchin Temple and within Fuchin Falls Cave.

The Mauler will briefly be the strongest monster you fight yet when you first exit Bilibin Cave to reach Angara's snow-capped north region, though it uses its Bear Claw rarely. It is outperformed in all statistics by the Lizard Man fought throughout Mercury Lighthouse and the other areas the Mauler is fought in.

A Mauler is especially likely to be affected by Sleep-inducing effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Ravager
A Ravager (ブラウンベアー Brown Bear) is a more green-furred variant that is level 15 in Golden Sun and level 22 in The Lost Age. In Golden Sun, it is battled in the optional Vale Cave and Vault Cave dungeons. In The Lost Age, it is one of the "stock" monsters fought throughout the land-based overworld areas accessible from the Great Eastern Sea.

The Ravager is slow among the monsters in Vale Cave, but has the highest HP, Attack, and Defense. In Vault Cave, it is outperformed by the even slower but tougher Cave Troll. In The Lost Age, it has the highest HP of the monsters it is fought alongside, backed up by that solid defense rating and solid offensive ability, but like before, it is slow.

A Ravager is especially likely to be affected by Sleep-inducing effects. Its statistics are as follows:

A Ravager uses the following battle commands with :

Grisly
A Grisly (サベージベアー Savage Bear) is a dark-purple-furred level 23 variant. In Golden Sun, only two are fought throughout the entire game, together with the Succubus as one scripted boss encounter that occurs on the second "dungeon floor" of the optional Crossbone Isle as soon as you try to enter the door to that floor's puzzle room.

As part of a team of three monsters that is one special encounter, the Grislys are the monsters that are strong and durable, while the less HP-heavy Succubus uses area-of-effect Psynergy for elemental damage. This battle should only be adequately difficult by boss battle standards if Crossbone Isle is visited and this battle is fought earlier in the game through the hidden method at Tolbi-bound Ship. This is definitely a battle that can be won in one turn by having everyone use full-powered summons at the start, but if you decide to battle these the typical way, the Succubus is the target that goes down much more easily than the Grislys, so that should probably be focused on first. Mars-based Psynergy is what all three monsters are weak to.
