The Kanuri Guard is a mercenary version of a Dragoon, but with an African style. Compared to the Black Rider, which is a similar type of mercenary, the Kanuri Guard is slightly cheaper but has relatively low hit points. One of the distinctive differences is that the Kanuri Guard has range resist instead of melee resist, making it specialize in a ranged fight but melee combat is best avoided if possible.
