'''Guard Hound''' is an enemy in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''. It is a short-tailed, panther-like canine with a whip-like projection sticking from its back. It is encountered in [[Sector 1 (Final Fantasy VII field)|Sector 1]], in a set battle in [[Church in the Slums (Final Fantasy VII field)|Church in the Slums]], and in the north section of the [[Train Graveyard (Final Fantasy VII field)|Train Graveyard]]. It is also a possible encounter in the opening round of the [[Battle Square]] before obtaining the ''[[Tiny Bronco]]''. In the Battle Square, it has enhanced stats with double the normal HP and 25% higher Attack and Magic Attack.

Guard Hound always uses its two attacks on the party member who has the lowest current HP. It is not a strong enemy and should not be a problem.
