Tony
Tony is a character in Wild Arms XF. He's a medium-to large sized dog with whitish fur whose quiet gaze gives off a sense of great intelligence; he has a dignified presence. At the start of the game he's Labyrinthia Wordsworth's constant companion but he develops an even deeper bond with Clarrisa Arwin over the course of the game. No one 'owns' Tony -- he chooses who he wants to follow. Although as a dog, he does not have a great role in the plot itself, he does save the party from certain death when he uses a special ability that allows the party to inflict damage upon the Clysmian.

Crossbreed Job Class
Tony is given his own exclusive job class known as "Crossbreed". The Crossbreed job class does not have any skills or abilities of it's own but it's rate of movement is the highest the player will encounter in the early portions of the game.

Possible Connection to Luceid
Sporadically through out the game NPCs in towns will tell you about the Guardian of Desire, Lucied. Supposedly Luceid can still maintain physical form in his Wild Arms XF incarnation and is roaming Filgaia seemingly attracted to the source of strong desires. While the game does not ever explicitly state that Tony is Lucied there is enough evidence to make a solid argument that the two are one and the same. Lucied begins following around Labyrinthia at a point before the start of the game when she's still the leader of the rebellion against the Council of Elder Statesmen. Elesius is in a state of unrest at this point, which could produce a good deal of desire, and Labrynthia has a strong desire to set the country right again. He takes a keen interest in Clarissa who desires to save Elesius as well as restore Filgaia to it's former beauty. He is able to negate the Clysmian's power; this is perplexing because Clysmians are depicted as being as powerful as Guardians. At the end of the game when peace is restored to Elesius he chooses to continue following Clarissa whose desire to restore Filgaia has not yet been fulfilled. While all of this could point toward Tony being the Guardian of Desire it could also be that Tony is merely a dog with unique powers who appeared at the right place at the right time.
