The '''Fenrir''' is a [[Keychain]] for [[Kingdom Key|Sora's]] and [[Starlight|Player's Keyblades]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Union χ]]''. The Fenrir is also one of the types of Keyblades left at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]].

After defeating Sephiroth in [[Radiant Garden]], Sora witnesses a battle between Cloud, Sephiroth, and [[Tifa]]. After Sephiroth and Cloud fly away in the middle of their duel, Tifa thanks Sora for his help and gives him the Fenrir Keychain.

The Fenrir's design differs depending on the upgrade, most of which are seen in ''Kingdom Hearts Union χ''. Unlike most Keyblades, which are modeled after {{w|lever tumbler lock}} keys, the Fenrir is modeled after a {{w|pin tumbler lock}} key.

 

The default Fenrir has a bronze appearance, with a green or a rusted bronze handle. Two rods jut out of the top of the guard, similar to the {{ff|Fusion Sword}}s' racks on Cloud's motorcycle, {{ff|Fenrir (motorcycle)|Fenrir}}, from ''{{ff|Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children}}''. The blade is the shaft of a pin tumbler lock key, covered in bandages from the tip to the base. The Keychain is a dull bronze, with the token being Cloud's Fenrir pendant from his ''Advent Children'' outfit.

 

 

 

The third upgrade cloaks the Fenrir in a green aura.

The Keyblade Graveyard variant has darker bandages, and lacks a Keychain.

The Fenrir is named after Cloud's motorcycle in ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'', which also appears as a special Gummi Ship. The motorcycle is, in turn, named after {{ff|Fenrir (Final Fantasy VII)|Fenrir}}, a wolf summon which has appeared in multiple ''Final Fantasy'' games, in keeping with Cloud's wolf motif. Fenrir is the shortened name of the Norse wolf-god {{w|Fenrir|Fenrisulfr}}. In the ''Dissidia'' series, Cloud also gains his own version of the Fenrir as one of his weapons.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', despite the passive ability of [[Negative Combo]], the Fenrir Keyblade makes up for it with its high attack power. It is also the strongest Keyblade available, its strength even surpassing that of the [[Ultima Weapon]] and [[Decisive Pumpkin]].

The Fenrir is the only piece of equipment with the Negative Combo ability; in combination with the Negative Combo that Sora learns and a lack of equipped Combo Plus and Air Combo Plus abilities, Sora can attack with only combo finishers. This makes it essential for high scores in mini-games like [[Junk Sweep]], [[Cargo Climb]], and [[Phil's Training]], which focus on the use of combo finishers. Furthermore, as bosses in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' cannot be defeated unless a combo finisher is successfully performed on them, the Fenrir is quite useful against bosses who tend to interrupt Sora's combos, as well as abusing Sora's single-target-midair combo finisher against bosses to loop them as the hitstun inflicted from such an attack prevents a majority of other actions from them (even their forced retaliation point attack).
