As Ferion's seal weakens every seven years because the magical restraints of gleipnir is loosened. At that time, the roar of Ferion can be heard above the ground. Ferion's kin group of wolfmen and werewolves living in the forest became ferocious. Duigan has been effected by Ferion's influence.

Ferion is sealed in a dome on the third level of the underground palace of Kutar. Ferion is trying to break the seal. Kuroki finds Ferion wrapped in a chain of light is rampaging and attempting to break the dome. Ferion notices the intruder and looks at Kuroki. Kuroki questioned his intention on destroying the world, to which Ferion plans to devour the world and other worlds. Kuroki attempts to suppress Ferion but Ferion blown Kuroki away and slammed into the dome wall. Ferion seemed happy that a playmate had appeared. Ferion ridicules Kuroki. Ferion laughs merrily when Kuroki transform into a dragon and was happy to be able to fight. Kuroki and Ferion attack each other with destruction wind and black flames but it became a stalemate as they both injure and self-regenerate. Ferion tries to escape through Kuroki's hold, but Kuroki used grappling techniques on Ferion.

## Abilities

Diadona commented Ferion has power comparable to Modus. He is slightly stronger than Kuroki's dragon-form. The Disaster Beast Ferion is a violent god with brutal powers. His power is terrible, and if released, many lives will be lost.

Ferion's wind is a magical wind, it inflicts the heart with terror. Strong wind blows every time he move his body that is filled with his mighty magical powers. It is effective on the divine race and other species. Heibos trembles with fear, whereas Modus and Kuroki are unaffected. His **Destruction wind** (破壊の風, *Hakai no kaze*?) can injure Kuroki.

Every time his horns glow red, waves blow out causing powerful vibrations that even Kuroki staggers at the tremendous pressure.

Even though he is restrained with enchanted chains, a single blow of his was able to crush Kuroki's armour and his internal organs were destroyed.

He is able withstand the black flames and self regenerate.

He can copy techniques by watching it once, he was able to imitate Kuroki's grappling technique.

## Development

He is very likely to be based on **Fenrir** (フェンリル, *Fenriru*?).

Takeru Nezaki was conflicted with Ferion's appearance. He thought whether to make it a girl with a wolf. In the Magnet version, he wondered whether or not Ferion's daughter will come out. In the end, he kept Ferion the same because he thought a violent existence is better fighting against Kuroki. However he wishes to release a female character that could be the wolf princess who descended from Ferion or the granddaughter of Casiga.
