Characters (Shining Force)
From Sega Retro
Jogurt
Jogurt is an hamster of some sorts, with a helmet. He can be seen for the first time close to where Gong is when he’s recruited and a second time in Alterone Castle. When visiting Pao for the first time, he can be seen by standing next to the priest, and after waking up startled he'll join the Force.
The character was originally used by the developers for a graphic test, after seeing an unfinished doodle by Tamaki, who hadn’t even started doing the heroes yet. The name comes from that beta test phase as well, as the team came across the syllable yo and since there were only food names, they settled with the name yogurt.
Jogurt has appeared in Shining Soul II and outside of the Shining series, in Time Stalkers (Marion's ending). Sega has made a Yogurt Plush Doll as well.
Stats
Jogurt is able to level up somewhat, as he can hit the required points and once this happens the game will prompt the following line '…It appears that Jogurt’s level increases to 1.' and it’s true, as he’s at level 1 even if he has supposedly gained a level. His stats will remain the same no matter how many times he levels up, but using boosting items will raise his stats. Once he levels up, he’ll retain every boosting item stat, except MP. As part of the YGRT class, Jogurt has 50% Magic Resistance to all spells.
Analogously to Jogurt’s bizarre level up, he can be promoted and is always ready to, but his promotion is YGRT (over and over again) with no stat increase whatsoever. Jogurt cannot be equipped with anything.
