Thief, Bandit, and Brigand are enemy types found in Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age. These enemies, which are human beings armed with daggers/short swords, are palette-swapped variants of each other that have differing levels of power and defense and are fought in different locations in the game. These are not randomly encountered enemies like monsters: A Bandit and two Thieves are a set of minor characters appearing in both games, while all fights with Brigands in the first game are scripted encounters.
