- "Gaaah... You've kept me waiting, hero. I thought you might have been ripped apart by my helpers. And here I rushed to get everything ready for you. Then again, there are none that can keep up with me!"
- —Fenri Lunaedge, Mega Man Zero 4
Fenri Lunaedge (フェンリー・ルナエッジ Fenrī Runaejji) is one of the bosses of Mega Man Zero 4. He is a Mutos Reploid based on the wolf Fenrisulfr (also called Fenrir) from Norse mythology. He is a member of the Einherjar Eight Warriors who occupies the Hibernation Chamber, where old Cyber-elf experiments are awakening.
History[]
Years ago, Fenri Lunaedge was driven berserk by a bug in an experimental Cyber-elf. He was forced into cryogenic stasis to stop his rampage, but Dr. Weil awoke him to serve as one of the Einherjar Eight Warriors.
Fenri Lunaedge first appears alongside the rest of the Einherjar, telling Popla Cocapetri to not spoil the fun of attacking Zero. When Craft explains that Dr. Weil wants the nature in Area Zero to be destroyed, he is the first of the Einherjar to explain that humans found the world outside of Neo Arcadia better than Weil's rule.
Fenri then occupies the Hibernation Chamber, where he plans to make use of the Cyber-elf experiments. They begin to awaken, and Zero has to defeat them as well as Fenri. He goads Zero into showing him his true power as a hero, and taunts him with a small snippet of Ragnarok's true purpose before dying.
Fenri is revived to face Zero again within Ragnarok. He casually tries to keep Zero busy, and still believes that he has already failed to stop Weil's plan. He is ultimately destroyed.
Strategy[]
Fenri uses ice in battles and can attack at high speed. He attacks by creating clones of himself made of ice, spin like a ball across the screen, dashing towards Zero using the blades in his arms, and by launching ice slashes in a pattern. If the weather is tipped in his favor, the floor is sheathed in ice, making it even more difficult for Zero to avoid the fast-paced attacks. His EX Skill, the White Fang, involves him creating two large slashes, one on the floor and one on the ceiling. He is weak to fire attacks.
| Attack | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dash Slash | If Zero is standing too close to Fenri, he will dash and try to stab Zero. | |
| Bloody Moon | Fenri will jump and transform into a spinning wheel and bounce a few times before stopping. | If fought at Hard Mode, the icy floor makes it difficult to avoid. |
| Tenrō Shikku | Fenri will jump onto walls three times whilst firing ice waves form his arms. | The move looks impossible to dodge, but dashing and timing is the key. |
| Gunrōken | Fenri will jump and summon two frost versions of himself. He will then jump at Zero, before his clones copying his move. | The clones can be destroyed with any weapon (preferably flame-based attacks such as Heat Genblem's EX Skill or using a weapon from the Zero Knuckle. |
| EX Skill: White Fang | Fenri will jump and fire two slow-moving ice waves at Zero. |

Mega Man Zero Official Complete Works[]
Fenri went berserk due to a bug in the altered Cyber-elf he was trying out. To stop him from running wild, he was put to sleep in cryogenic stasis and the entire building was demolished. He was later revived by Dr. Weil for the purposes of Operation Ragnarok. As Popla Cocapetri and Noble Mandrago both have skills related to cryogenic stasis, Fenri has an inherent aversion to them.
Fenri has sharp claws on his hands and feet, and also has giant ice blades growing out of his arms. He could cause a lot of damage just by charging an opponent.
Other appearances[]
- Fenri Lunaedge appears as an optional boss in Area N in Mega Man ZX. There has to be a Mega Man Zero 4 cartridge inserted in the DS, or by activating the Zero 4 link in the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection re-release, to fight him.

Trivia[]
