Dogi's the name, and wall-crushing's my game. Pleased to meet ya'!
~ Dogi
Dogi (ドギ?) (pronounced as "Dohggy") is Adol Christin's long-time companion and best friend, the blue-haired kindly giant with a knack for crushing walls (or boulders) with his bare hands. Introduced as a thief who breaks Adol out of prison in the first Ys, he has become Adol's traveling companion in the majority of the series.
Dogi is first mentioned as a member of Goban Tovah's group of thieves who had entered the Darm Tower. Later in the game, Adol enters Darm Tower himself and gets caught in a magical trap that teleports him into a prison cell without any exit. Shortly after, Dogi crushes the wall of the prison cell and frees Adol, marking the first time the two meet, forging a friendship almost immediately. Dogi tells Adol to look for Raba, a wise old man who knows the Darm Tower, and to return an idol that Raba lost.
In the prologue of Ys VI, Adol and Dogi are approached by the pirate Captain Ladoc while resting in Ediz. Ladoc tells them of the Canaan Islands, which are surrounded by a mysterious Vortex which makes approaching the islands impossible. Adol and Dogi agree to board Ladoc's ship, the Tres Mares, and to explore the Canaan Islands together. However, they get attacked by the Romun Fleet and Adol is thrown over board. Dogi and the crew of the Tres Mares manage to escape the Romun attack by fleeing into the Great Vortex of Canaan. Though the Tres Mares is heavily damaged, they successfully pass through the Vortex and dock at the Sunrise Inlet on the eastern shore of Canaan Island.
While looking for resources to repair their ship, Dogi busts open a blocked path, which connects the Sunrise Inlet to the Limewater Cave. Coincidentally, this was right after Adol had reached the end of the Limewater Cave and the two reunited once again. Dogi then goes to Port Rimorge with Adol, Ladoc and Terra both to obtain resources and because he heard from Adol that Raba is now living there.
Later, while Adol and Terra are rescuing the Rehda who were kidnapped by the Romun soldiers, Dogi and Ladoc go to the Zemeth Sanctum to rescue Isha from Ernst. Though the two manage to incapacitate all of Ernsts soldiers, Ernst releases the final seal on the Ark of Napishtim, which forces them to retreat back to Port Rimorge.
In the end Dogi, Adol and the crew of the Tres Mares return towards Eresia.
In Alternative Saga, Dogi is a formidable opponent in the right hands, having by far the highest endurance of all the characters and surprisingly high power. While he's dreadfully slow, his strength combined with the usefulness and sheer power of his skills makes him a good choice for moderate to skilled players.
Adol's good friend and muscle-bound partner. Though rough around the edges, he is an honorable, kindhearted man.
Skilled Laborer Adept at both manual labor and careful construction, he focuses his efforts on fortifying Castaway Village.
Dependable His actions have earned him a reputation for being very dependable. He has become the go-to guy for help.
A Partner's Promise Over drinks, he confided his worries about Adol to him. Still, he laughed off the imminent danger as nothing new.
Dogi
【Wandering Strongman】 Adol's adventuring partner of many years. After being with him for so long, the supernatural doesn't faze him much anymore.
Dogi the Wallcrusher The strongman event he joined was canceled, but not before the ex-thief riled the crowd with his strength as Dogi the Wallcrusher.
First Encounter He and Adol fondly exchange stories of old days while eating apples picked in Esteria, the land where they'd met seven years ago.
Bosom Buddies Having overcome numerous trials before, his and Adol's deep bond and strong curiosity move them ahead no matter what awaits.
Dogi
【Traveling Companion】 An easy-going former wandering thief. After meeting Adol in Esteria he turned a new leaf and started traveling with him.
Igi Yolds takes a liking to Dogi, and turns him into a puppet. Although he once stood as an obstacle before Adol, he was able to be purified and restored to his original form.
Fascinated with adventure When he was invited by the Normans to join their crew, he hesitated at first, but eventually decided to travel with Adol after speaking with him.
He is known for his skill for crushing walls, boulders and other things, much as Adol is known for his propensity to find himself the victim of shipwrecks. He does this in most games that he appears in. This has earned him the nickname "Dogi the Wallcrusher".
In some artwork, such as the Sega Genesis boxart of Ys III: Wanderers from Ys and his own Ys V: Lost Kefin, Kingdom of Sand concept art, he is shown to have a sword but said blade is never used, as Dogi's main weapons are his fists.
In Ys IX; Monstrum Nox, if the player skips the side quests involving Silhouette, Iris, Lucien, Margot and Maxim that lead them to join the Dandelion, Dogi will instead be the one responsible for for bringing them to the bar.
