Red XIII

Red XIII, real name Nanaki, is a red lion or wolf-like beast and one of the playable characters in Final Fantasy VII. He also appears in other entries of the Final Fantasy VII series. He is a guest in Final Fantasy VII Remake. Red XIII is the only quadrupedal playable character in the main Final Fantasy series so far.
Red XIII is the name he received as a specimen designation while held captive and experimented upon by Professor Hojo and remains the name he is called by the party and in battle in Final Fantasy VII. Although he is 48 years old, he is developmentally equivalent to a 15- or 16-year-old human by his long-lived species' standards. He fights alongside Cloud Strife and his allies to fulfill his duty to the planet to defend it as a warrior.
Red XIII uses headdresses to enhance his damage. His earlier Limit abilities augment his stats by adding positive status effects, but his later abilities deal physical attacks to enemies based on his own damage.

== Daemon Rising with a...SMASH! ==
Red XIII was actually a disguise made by Frisket. Enzo, his dog, Hack and Slash teamed up with Fox and Young Link when they entered a Game Cube and infiltrated the Mako tower! Red XIII was a minor character as Frisket rebooted and helped take out the Scorpion and soon ended the Game against Dot's orders.
==Dissidia Shadowgate==
Red XIII was one of several friends who found Cloud and Tifa inside the Planet's Core.
