Missile
Woof.

Missile is a Shiba Inu breed K-9 police dog with the Los Angeles Police Department. Detective Dick Gumshoe is in charge of the dog's care, and calls him one of his Seven Secret Weapons.

"Helping" Wright[]

Hey, he's cute! Look, Nick! Cute dog!
Phoenix Wright
(A cute dog... And this will help us... how?)

During his investigation into the murder of Robert Hammond, Phoenix Wright was forced to search for Gourdy at Gourd Lake in order to convince Lotta Hart to give up information that she had on the case. Along with Maya Fey, Wright went to see Detective Gumshoe for assistance. Since the defendant was Miles Edgeworth, Gumshoe was only too pleased to help. He offered three things for the pair to use: a metal detector, a fishing pole, and Missile.

Growling.

Taking Missile, Wright began to investigate Gourd Lake. Missile stayed quiet until they reached the Samurai Dog stand of Larry Butz, at which point Missile leaped into action. By the end of Missile's rampage, Butz's stand had been completely cleared of its hot dogs, whilst its distraught owner looked on. Wright decided to take Missile back to Gumshoe at this point. Although the fishing pole proved to be just as useless, the metal detector did provide a valuable clue to "Gourdy's" true identity. The metal detector was also instrumental in proving Manfred von Karma to be the true villain of the case.

Murder at an embassy[]

At the Cohdopian Embassy.

While Miles Edgeworth was searching for clues in the Ambassador's Office of the Allebahstian Embassy, Franziska von Karma brought in Missile. Missile used his superior sense of smell to find Samurai Dogs hidden in the fireplace, which he promptly ate. By chance, the same fireplace also had Wendy Oldbag's clothes hidden inside, which turned out to be a valuable clue.

Murder at a prison[]

At the prison.

During Edgeworth's investigation into the murder of Horace Knightley at the local prison, Missile's sense of smell was once again called upon to find the route used to move Knightley's body. The dog's nose soon led the team to a hidden underground escape tunnel in Jay Elbird's cell, which was eventually revealed to be an important clue in solving the case.

Missile was also used to track the scent of the body so they could know whether the body had been moved through Elbird's escape tunnel or a well in the courtyard. However, Ally the alligator scared Missile upon entering the courtyard, causing him to stay with Detective Gumshoe for the rest of that investigation. Later on, Missile detected the same scent that was on the body on warden Patricia Roland, which proved to be an important clue as well.

Personality[]

Missile has a great liking for Samurai Dogs and seems to base a great deal of his behavior around finding and eating them. Maya Fey and Shi-Long Lang find him cute, as did Larry Butz, at least until the "mutt" ate all his Samurai Dogs.

Appearance[]

Missile has tan fur with white patches around his body and black eyes.

Name[]

GhostTrickMissile

The Missile from Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.

Other media[]

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3[]

Missile appears in the fighting game Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 as Wright's command throw. As one of Wright's assist attacks, Missile is sent charging forward low to the ground damaging anyone he comes into contact with, and in both of Wright's throws he charges in from either side of the screen (depending on the direction of the throw) to hit the enemy just as Wright dodges to the side.[4]

Missile also changes his color scheme depending on the costume Wright is wearing (as does Maya Fey, who also appears as some of Wright's attacks). Each alternative color scheme is based on those of Amaterasu, a canine character who is originally from the action-adventure game Ōkami and is another Capcom fighter in the game.[5] Three of the Amaterasu color schemes themselves may be based on some of the Canine Warriors from Ōkami, namely Gi/Take (blue/grey), Chu/Hayabusa (dark brown), and Jin/Ume (pink). The stone-like color scheme appears to be based on Amaterasu's appearance if the ninth "karmic transformer" item earned from beating Ōkami is used.

Each character in the game was also given a downloadable costume that more extensively changes the character's appearance. For Wright, this is his "Feenie" outfit from his time at college, while Missile's corresponding color scheme is based on Amaterasu's downloadable costume, which is itself based on Jon Talbain, a werewolf character from Capcom's Darkstalkers series.
