Stripes is an enormous [[Beast family|beastman]] that wears the pelt of a tiger like a disguise. In battle, he uses his sharp claws and strong tail to overpower his opponents. He has a red demonic face poking out of the tiger pelt's mouth that has large eyes and a fang-filled mouth. Stripes and his fellow guard [[Rashers]] delighted in the newfound power granted to them by [[Cardinal Sin]] to prey on the unfortunate [[human]] adventurers that happened to find themselves in the [[Western Cave]]. However, the two guards are not very intelligent as they were able to be fooled by the thief [[Fingers]] with a simple ruse. He relies on nothing more than brute force and the power stolen from the [[human]]s wishing to change their vocation at the Abbey. In the first battle against the pair, Stripes is capable of breathing out fierce flames and using wind magic, but he loses this ability when High Priestess [[Jacqueline]] removes the powers granted to him by [[Cardinal Sin]].
 
==History==
The Demon King sent [[Cardinal Sin]] to take over {{Alltrades Abbey 7}} due to his recognition that it could produce a [[Hero]] that was capable of standing up to him and to steal the powers and abilities of the unsuspecting travelers making their pilgrimage to the temple in order to change vocations. The foul priest stationed Stripes and [[Rashers]] to guard the entrance to the [[Precipice Pass]] and magnified their strength to prevent any [[human]]s from crossing the [[Western Cave]].

==Strategy==
The first battle against [[Rashers]] and Stripes in the [[Western Cave]] is completely unwinnable in all versions of the game, due to both {{MFamilies}}s having a combination of exceedingly high {{HP}} and simply recovering too much {{HP}} per turn for the party to make a dent. In the original [[Sony PlayStation]] version of the game, it was theoretically possible to beat the two if the {{Party 7}}'s levels are raised to an absurdly high amount, but it makes no impact on the story as the game will act as if the {{Party 7}} has been defeated in any case. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version, [[Rashers]] and Stripes have an unlimited amount of {{HP}}, so it is impossible to try defeating them.
 
The second time the {{Party 7}} faces Rashers]] and Stripes, High Priestess [[Jacqueline]] negates the stolen power granted to them by [[Cardinal Sin]] and the temple guard [[Eustace]] joins in order to face them on equal footing. Stripes will no longer be able to cast magic or use his [[Flame Breath]) on the {{party 7}}, but he can still land {{Desperate attack}}s and use his claws and tail to inflict heavy damage. The battle will still be difficult as the {{Party 7}} still has not regained their lost abilities and spells, forcing them to rely on [[Medicinal herb]]s and the [[Salvation stone]] to keep everyone healthy. The player should focus on taking out [[Rashers]] first as his [[Sandstorm]] can be a nuisance. As long as the {{Party 7}} stays regularly healed, the beastly duo will eventually be defeated.
