	Dogs feature widely across the [[Assassin's Creed (series)\|''Assassin's Creed'' series]] and are non-player characters in many of its video games. In some installments, they act as enemy units that have a special range of detection against the player. They can alert other enemies to the player's presence by barking. However, in ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'', soldiers in [[New York City]] ignore their dogs' barking if the player behaves in an inconspicuous manner while their [[Social stealth\|Notoriety]] is incognito. Dogs can be killed and skinned like other animals in the game, but they yield similar items as when skinning a wolf.

	In the spin-off game ''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China]]'', dogs are a particular gameplay mechanic. They only appear in cages and function as stationary alarm systems with a constant radius of detection. If the player character [[Shao Jun]] enters this zone, the dog will immediately begin barking and raise the alert of all enemies in the area. Unlike other enemy units, this detection zone cannot be altered by the application of tools—[[noise dart]]s, [[firecracker]]s, and [[Throwing knife\|throwing knives]] ~~only provoke them~~ and ~~cause~~ instant detection. As a result, the player only has the option of navigating around them. This mechanic reappears in the sequel, ''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India]]'', except the caged dogs are replaced by caged [[Bengal tiger]]s.

	Dogs feature widely across the [[Assassin's Creed (series)\|''Assassin's Creed'' series]] and are non-player characters in many of its video games. In some installments, they act as enemy units that have a special range of detection against the player. They can alert other enemies to the player's presence by barking. However, in ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'', soldiers in [[New York City]] ignore their dogs' barking if the player behaves in an inconspicuous manner while their [[~~social~~ stealth\|Notoriety]] is incognito. Dogs can be killed and skinned like other animals in the game, but they yield similar items as when skinning a wolf.

	In the spin-off game ''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China]]'', dogs are a particular gameplay mechanic. They only appear in cages and function as stationary alarm systems with a constant radius of detection. If the player character [[Shao Jun]] enters this zone, the dog will immediately begin barking and raise the alert of all enemies in the area. Unlike other enemy units, this detection zone cannot be altered by the application of tools—[[noise dart]]s, [[firecracker]]s, and [[~~throwing~~ knife\|throwing knives]] only provoke them and cause instant detection. As a result, the player only has the option of navigating around them. This mechanic reappears in the sequel, ''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India]]'', except the caged dogs are replaced by caged [[Bengal tiger]]s.
