- As you continue through the trees, you sense beasts surrounding you on all the sides. Their reek is ever-present in your nose while their constant low growl plays on your nerves. You have reached Fenrir's dread lair!
- —Game description of Fenrir's lair, Etrian Odyssey
Fenrir, known as Snowdrift in Japan (スノードリフト), is the first boss in Etrian Odyssey and Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl, fought on B5F (Staring Down the Roar) along with his pack.
This beast resembles a tiger (in Etrian Odyssey), with a white pelt and two enormous, ice-cold fangs, which have claimed the lives of many explorers. His roar is terrifying to hear, rendering most weaker explorers unable to act in fear. When faced in combat, he is a fierce opponent, and worse yet, he is backed up by his pack, which will soon join their leader if given the opportunity.
Fenrir (Etrian Odyssey)[]
Once you step inside Fenrir's lair, you'll be greeted by a horrifying sight: Fenrir, sitting in the center of the room, with 7 FOEs scattered around the room. These FOEs are actually Skolls, a more powerful variation of the Wolf enemy.

Trivia[]
- Fenrir's name is based on Fenrir, the wolf of the Norse mythology who killed Odin during the Ragnarok.
- In Etrian Odyssey, Fenrir is the only boss in the series who doesn't have a unique sprite: Stingmaw and Sabremaw both share the same sprite, making it a pallete swap.
- Although he is the leader of a wolf pack, its appearance in Etrian Odyssey is based on a Saber-toothed cat. In Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl, this was changed appropriately to a wolf. It should be noted though, in the Japanese version it was never meant to represent the mythological wolf, and the change was made most likely because it is the only boss in the series who shares its sprite with a regular enemy found later on.
