Animal Staff

Transformation Staff is a key item in Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light that lets the player transform the characters into animals. Brandt turns into a gray dog, Aire into a white cat, Yunita into a brown and white rabbit and Jusqua into a black rooster. If the characters enter battle their animal forms, they will keep all their same items and commands, but appear as animals in battle and their weapons aren't visible. As animals, the player characters can converse with the NPC animals found in towns, such as the seagulls in Liberte.

Turning into an animal is required to advance the plot in a few occasions.
