Fenrir — Background & Lore
The Fenrir is a giant ice wolf from Fjordur in ASE. It freezes enemies with its howl, reflects damage with its frozen fur, and keeps food fresh in its inventory, which makes it both a strong mount and a mobile icebox.
How to get one
It cannot be tamed in the wild and does not spawn naturally. A Fenrir comes as a 
Cryopod reward for defeating the 
Fenrisúlfr boss, given to the player who started the fight. It appears in the wild only as a minion in the 
Hati and Sköll and Fenrisúlfr fights. It cannot be bred or cloned.
Uses
- Mount: ridden without a saddle; its
Frozen Fur armor fills the saddle slot, and the rider can use weapons. - Howl: freezes nearby enemies for 10 seconds and raises its armor while the buff lasts.
- Ice Bite: halves the target's movement speed.
- Fridge: spoilable items such as
Wyvern Milk and 
Nameless Venom last far longer in its inventory.
Tips
It boosts nearby Direwolves and gains pack bonuses from other Fenrirs. Frigid Armor drains stamina, so level stamina. A Fenrir cannot be transferred between servers.
