Final Fantasy 16 features an impressive cast of playable characters. One of the members who will join your party early will be Clive’s trusted hound Torgal. He was present with Clive during the cataclysmic events of Phoenix’s Gate and was reunited with him 13 years later under perilous circumstances. The dog is present throughout the campaign and is revealed to be a descendant of Eikon Fenrir.

Halfway through the campaign, Clive and Jaffe take on a mission to save Jill and Eric from execution at the hands of Hugo Kopka’s men. They attack the executioners along with Torgal, who undergo a remarkable transformation during the fight.

Torgal is then revealed to also be a Dominator, and possesses a set of powers similar to those of protagonist Clive Rosfield.

Since Eikonic’s powers are apparently passed down genetically through generations in the world of Final Fantasy 16, it can be safely assumed that Fenrir and Torgal are directly related.


Who is Fenrir in the Final Fantasy video game series?

Fenrir appears several times across the Final Fantasy series of video games, borrowing his name and resemblance to his Norse counterpart – resembling a large wolf.

Fenrir first appears during Final Fantasy VI as an esper obtained from defeating Humbaba. He has since appeared regularly in other mainstream Final Fantasy titles as well as in its spin-off games.

In all versions, Fenrir is usually depicted as a summon in the game that can boost the party’s damage output. Final Fantasy spin-offs featuring Fernir usually depict him in a collectible card or ability.

Torgal is a core member of Clive’s party and is unique in being the only controllable member. Torgal can be commanded using the D-Pad, and is able to attack or distract enemies. In addition, Torgal can also heal Clive in a small amount when told to do so. It’s also hugely useful for crowd control, clearing the arena of minor enemies and even cutting a decent chunk of the boss’ health bar.

If players find Torgal’s command during combat overwhelming, they can always equip the Ring of Timely Assistance to automate his actions.

Torgal takes center stage in both the game’s campaign and combat, and is an excellent addition to the cast.
