Profile
Ninjas are characterized by wearing cowls that cover their mouths and head, and lightweight armor. Their weapons include special daggers, katanas, and boomerangs. Physically they are strong and have high Speed, but their HP and Defense are low. Their special ability is Throw, which lets them throw weapons including shuriken and magical scrolls to do high damage, but in most cases, the item thrown is lost. In some installments, Ninjas are able to wield specialized Ninjutsu magic. They usually have methods of nullifying physical attacks by creating illusions, and are able to equip two weapons at once.
