Gau is one of the many playable characters in Final Fantasy VI. He grew up in the Veldt (a valley inhabited primarily by monsters), thus giving him the class of "Feral Child." He speaks in an incredibly primitive speech, and is often drowned out by growls and grunts. His special ability is Rage, which replaces the regular Fight. When Rage is used, Gau can select a monster's abilities. He takes on the properties of this monster, and then uses an attack based on which monster it is. When Rage is used, the attacks are randomly selected and the player completely loses control over Gau. Gau can learn new Rage attack on the Veldt and the Veldt only.
