    Isn't it possible that "Fenrir" are just a race of monster? After all there are more Behemoths than the one in Courthas and more Chimera than the one in Cutter's Cry so it doesn't seem unlikely that there is more than one Fenrir like wolf, the gold saucer proves that much, but the real question is whether Fenrir is it's Species name ala Chimera/Behemoth or if it's a the specific name of that particular wolf like Savara is a specific dragon in the Dravanian Horde.

    In any aspect, I'd wager that Fenrir and it's kin are from Dravania being as that's the only one that's ever been seen in Eorzia.

    Possible, but when the word is used mid-sentence, behemoth and chimera begin with lower-case letters, so does siren, whereas Sickle Fang uses Fenrir.

    If I remember correctly, most (if not all) of the Circle of Knowing have been to the city-state of Sharlayan for study, which was in Dravania before they abandoned it and went home.

    I was so sure that this was going to end up being the basis for Fenrir, but I feel like if it wasn't just a coincidence, Fenrir would have been basically the Lambs of Dalamud's primal, in the end.

    While the connection to the Lambs may have burned, I do think it adds something to the Primals = Twelve theories...

    Menphina the Lover, wields power over Ice. Saint Shiva, the Ice Primal, perhaps maybe the Dragon Lover? We have Menphina's Loyal Hound and I'd argue we could call Fenrir Shiva's, or at least Iceheart's Loyal Hound given the reasons why we were fighting him... Crazy theory, we just discovered a new Archon - Iceheart is an incarnation Menphina...

    Then again we'll be summoning Fenrir to ride, so perhaps he isn't that big a thing...

    Then again we can buy Sleipnir, so maybe whoever keeps making new mounts just doesn't give a hoot about lore...

    The Arcons aren't The Twelve. We've disproved that theory long before the Devs actually shot it down.
