DD does not wear the eye patch as a pup, and his missing eye is clearly visible. Recruited soldiers will talk about how cute DD is, and express a desire to pet him, (and in one instance touch his paw pads), observing DD, one can notice DD trying to be sneaky while walking. While DD is still a puppy, he'll always be waiting to greet Snake when the latter returns to Mother Base, and proceed to follow him around and and excitedly bark. DD's gender was confirmed to be male in the main menu featured in the demonstration, with the presenter repeatedly referring to him by masculine pronouns, and supported by DD lifting his leg up to urinate at the start of the mission (female canids squat when urinating). On the June 17 demo for The Phantom Pain at E3 2015, some elements of DD's role as a buddy combatant was shown. On May 27, 2015, Hideo Kojima tweeted two photos of a prototype DD figure by Play Arts KAI wearing a Sneaking Suit while holding a knife in his mouth. The demo also featured Quiet acting as Snake's buddy, although the final version makes DD recruitable well before Quiet's first appearance. However, in the final version, the puppy is found in Afghanistan, and its parent is neither seen nor mentioned. In the TGS 2014 demo, the puppy is found in Central Africa, whimpering near a dead wolf, its presumed parent, with Sean Eyestone implying that it had been killed by a sniper round heard earlier in the demo. The English version had a variant of Venom Snake's standard one. In the Japanese version, the decoy balloon that popped up was of Lisa, the ghost from the P.T. During the demo, Venom Snake throws an Active Decoy that piques the pup's curiosity.
ĭD made his public debut in the September 19-20 showing of the TGS 2014 demo. Although the Rhodesian Ridgeback concept was dropped, it did appear in the in-game data, and could be "recreated". DD's exact breed is unknown, being described as either a wolf or a dog in various sources, and in some cases, even a wolf dog hybrid. This artwork was later updated to better reflect the game's development. The artwork indicated that DD would have been a Rhodesian Ridgeback, which is supported by dummied assets within the game. The concept of a dog accompanying the main protagonist in a new Metal Gear game was first hinted at on the GDC 2012 website Development Without Borders, which included "secret" concept art depicting Big Boss with a dog. When DD is first recruited, the iDroid notification refers to him as Wild Puppy. DD will accompany Snake on missions via the buddy system, and meeting him is entirely optional. DD attempted to do so, but he ended up falling out because he couldn't quite reach the floor, causing him to run off, with Ocelot vowing he'll be ready soon, just not yet.Īfter DD had fully grown and been trained for a combat support role, Venom Snake had the wolf accompany him on his missions, at the suggestion of Ocelot.ĭD was present on Mother Base when Metal Gear Sahelanthropus was taken there by Diamond Dogs and at the Diamond Dogs ceremony celebrating the short lived global nuclear disarmament.ĭD is a character that appears in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Īt some point, as Snake was about to leave on a mission, DD managed to obey a stay command from Ocelot, indicating that he had learned discipline, although DD then ran to Snake before Ocelot could command him to do so, and then Ocelot ordered him to jump up into the UTH-66 Blackfoot chopper. Snake agreed, noting the irony of an ocelot raising hounds. Believing that the pup may be useful in the future, Ocelot intended to train him, comparing him to a diamond in the rough that required some polishing. Ocelot explained that the puppy had been a troublemaker after it had arrived, and that he was unsure of its specific breed. The puppy was present with Ocelot upon Snake's return to Mother Base, licking the latter's face as he picked him up. DD was later taken by Fulton Recovery to Diamond Dogs' Mother Base, his new home. The puppy was found alone by Venom Snake during a mission in 1984.
