Final Fantasy VI PlayStation esper section
Fenrir (フェンリル, Fenriru?) is a recurring creature in the Final Fantasy series typically depicted as a wolf with a mane and a long thick tail. It often appears as a summoned monster, and though the effects of his summon abilities vary between games, he is usually shown howling at a full moon, common imagery associated with wolves. In games where Fenrir is not a summon, he has also appeared as a boss or an friendly wolf ally.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy VI[]
Fenrir is an esper obtained in Mobliz after defeating Humbaba for the first time there. Its summon sequence is called Howling Moon (Moon Song in the earlier releases) and grants Image on the party. It costs 70 MP to cast. It teaches Teleport (x10), Banish (x5) and Stop (x3). At level up, it gives a boost of +30% to MP.
In the PlayStation version, selecting Fenrir in battle will erroneously read "Fenris".
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children[]

Fenrir is a wolf who follows Cloud Strife, representing his lingering guilt over the deaths of Aerith Gainsborough and Zack Fair, as well as his "lone wolf" persona. Cloud additionally incorporates wolf-related motifs into his equipment, most notably in his motorcycle, also called Fenrir.
Final Fantasy IX[]
Fenrir is an eidolon summoned by Eiko. It is learned through the Sapphire for 30 AP, which Eiko comes equipped with when she joins. Its normal attack calls forth Titan to use the attack Terrestrial Rage, which deals Earth-elemental damage to all opponents.
If Eiko is using the Maiden Prayer, Fenrir will use the Wind-elemental ability called Millennial Decay. Fenrir's spell power is augmented by the number of Sapphires in the party's inventory, and summoning him costs 30 MP. Summoning Fenrir earns the Wolf Insanity achievement in the mobile and Steam versions.
Final Fantasy X[]
Fenrir is a Species Conquest enemy that appears in the Monster Arena upon capturing three 'Wolf'-type fiends. It shares its model with the Bandersnatch.
Final Fantasy XI[]

Fenrir is one of the five terrestrial Avatars. Associated with both the moon and prophecy, he lives in Full Moon Fountain and was said to have given the gift of magic to the Tarutaru long ago. During the Crystal War, an expert magician known as Karaha-Baruha drained Fenrir's energy from Full Moon Fountain, causing first the gradual loss of life on the Mindartia continent.
When he summoned all of Fenrir's power in battle to save Windurst during a siege from the beastmen, the magical overload caused him to vanish forever, along with Fenrir. Since then, summoning magic has been forbidden by the Star Sybil. For Fenrir to take on a physical form once more, the power of the Celestial Avatars are required. Before Fenrir's power was stolen, it was said that he had enough strength to face even Bahamut himself.
Along with Diabolos, Alexander, and Odin, Fenrir is one of the more challenging summonable avatars to acquire. The quest to acquire Fenrir, "The Moonlit Path", requires that a summoner reacquires the whispers from the battles against Ifrit, Shiva, Ramuh, Garuda, Leviathan, and Titan. A whisper is lost once the summoner claims a reward for the Prime Avatar fights, thus requiring a rematch with all six of the required avatars in order to have access to The Moonlit Path.
Fenrir is somewhat unique in that while he has higher Perpetuation Cost than Carbuncle, his cost is lower than the rest of the avatars, and thus it's possible for some of the best-geared Summoners to reduce the perpetuation cost to the minimum of -1, which is then negated to 0 by Auto Refresh.
Fenrir is also the name of a server.
Final Fantasy XII[]
Fenrir is a boss that appears the Pharos. Different in its typical appearance, it is instead a bipedal white tiger, acting as a stand-in for Byakko in an altered version of the Four Symbols. It later reappears during the hunt against the Shadowseer.
Final Fantasy XIII-2[]

Fenrir is a colossal fal'Cie acting as a moon, eclipsing the sun over the Yaschas Massif 10 AF. Its appearance in 10 AF is a paradox, as the eclipse was not supposed to occur into 200 AF. Fal'Cie in the Final Fantasy XIII series are named after summoned monsters from the series.
Final Fantasy XIV[]
Fenrir appears as the final boss of the 
Snowcloak. He is massive hoarhound in service of Lady Iceheart, and named after a spirit-hound of legend. As with his mistress, he uses primarily ice-aspected attacks. Players can obtain Fenrir as a mount at the Manderville Gold Saucer for a "meager" 1,000,000 MGP.
Final Fantasy XVI[]
Clive's frost wolf companion, Torgal, is a descendant of a mystical Fenrir[1], who was a loyal hound to the Queen of the Northern Territories, a past Dominant of Shiva. His inherited powers manifest during Hugo Kupka's invasion of Rosalith to save Jill Warrick, the current Dominant of Shiva. Though the manner in which he primes into his Fenriric form is reminiscent of Dominants summoning their Eikons, Torgal calls on not on his own Eikon, but upon the powers of those who have walked beside him over the years (Jill, presumably Joshua Rosfield, Cidolfus Telamon, Clive), and with whose aether he has become imbued.
Final Fantasy Legend III[]
Fenrir is an antagonist who killed Jupiah, the father of protagonist Arthur, prior to the start of the game. He later kidnaps Faye to the North Maze and turns the townsmen of Eitar's Village into stone. Arthur confronts and demands that Fenrir release Faye, but Fenrir mistakes him for Jupiah and is puzzled about him coming back to life before being slain in the ensuing battle.

Fenrir is the 3-star Wind Magicite boss. In battle, he combines elements of the Final Fantasy VI incarnation and the Final Fantasy IX incarnation. From VI comes the sprite and the Howling Moon ability, which grants Fenrir Haste and Blink status. From IX comes the Wind association, as well as the attack Withering Winds (an alternate translation of Millenial Decay).
When summoned as an Esper, Fenrir will use Ultra Howling Moon to grant the party Blink and increase their resistance to Earth. It will then periodically appear to use Bite, Wind Slash, or Withering Winds.

Etymology[]
In Norse mythology, Fenrir is a monstrous wolf. Fenrir is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda and Heimskringla, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In both the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, Fenrir is the father of the wolves Sköll and Hati Hróðvitnisson, and is a son of Loki. Upon the coming of Ragnarök, along with his sons devouring the moon and the sun, Fenrir is said to destroy the planet, his lower jaw reaching the earth, his upper jaw reaching the skies. It is foretold to kill the god Odin during Ragnarök, but will in turn be killed by Odin's son Víðarr.
