The Red Fang, also known as Fire Bomb, Fire Fang, or Inferno, is a recurring item in the Final Fantasy series. It typically does Fire damage to enemies.

Final Fantasy
The Red Fang deals Fire-elemental damage to enemies. It is found in Earthgift Shrine, Hellfire Chasm (x2), and Lifespring Grotto (x4) and is won from Fire Hydra.

Final Fantasy IV
The Red Fang deals Fire-elemental damage to enemies, the damage is equal to half the maximum HP of the user. Cecil uses a Red Fang in the opening sequence to kill three Floating Eyes. In the Super NES release, unlike most attack items, it was left in the game for the English release, but was renamed Fire Bomb. It is called Inferno in the PS release as well. It can be found in chests or dropped by Red Dragons, though by the time these enemies are fought, the item is largely useless. In the DS version the opening sequence is no longer scripted, but the player is given a Red Fang in their inventory.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
The Red Fang deals Fire-elemental damage to all enemies. It is found in Ceodore's Tale in Baron Castle East Tower 1F, in Kain's Tale in the Baron Castle, in the The Crystals chapter in Damcyan Castle Treasury, and Eblan Castle East Tower, Subterrane B4 and B10.

The Fire Fang deals Fire-elemental damage to all enemies, equivalent to the spell Fire2.

Final Fantasy VIII
The Red Fang can be won from Hexadragons and Chimeras. The similarly named Inferno Fang can be won from Ruby Dragons and can be used to teach Quistis the Blue Magic spell Fire Breath. The Red Fang refines into Fire Ammo or twenty Firagas, while the Inferno Fang refines into 20 Flare spells or two Flare Stones. Neither Red Fang or Inferno Fang can be used on its own in battle.

Dissidia Final Fantasy
Red Fang is not an item, but an attack usable by Warrior of Light. It shoots a single fireball at enemies with 15 power, producing 2 EX Force on hit.. The Warrior knows the attack initially, and it costs 20 CP to equip and 120 AP to master.

Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy
The Red Fang returns as an attack usable by the Warrior of Light. It now costs 30 CP to equip, but only 90 AP to master. It no longer generates EX Force, executes very slightly faster, and has the same power.
