The Fenrir is a creature in ARK: Survival Evolved's Fjordur DLC.
Basic Info
Behavior
Fenrir do not appear in the wild and only appear in 2 instances, the first is the Hati and Sköll boss battle where Hati can summon Fenrirs to aid them in the fight and the other being the Fenrisúlfr boss battle and as such are inherently hostile in nature when "wild".
Appearance
Color Scheme and Regions
This section displays the Fenrir's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Fenrir. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Fenrir will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme. Hover your cursor over a color to display its name and ID.
This information can be used to alter the Fenrir's regions by entering cheat SetTargetDinoColor <ColorRegion> <ColorID>
in the cheat console. For instance, cheat SetTargetDinoColor 0 6
would color the Fenrir's "under" magenta.

Wild Stats Level-up
Type in values of a wild creature to see on which stats it's emphasized. Green values on a high-level creature are very good for breeding. If you have already tamed your creature you can try to recover the breeding stats with an external tool.[1]
The stat-calculator does not work in the mobile-view, see here for alternatives: Apps
Note that after the creature is tamed it gets bonuses on some stats depending on the taming effectiveness. This makes it hard to retrieve the levels on a tamed creature, so this tool is only for wild ones, but gives a first impression, how well the stats are distributed.

Frozen Fur:
All Fenrirs have natural armor, the Frozen Fur, taking the place of a saddle. It is capped at 80 armor points.
Direwolf Synergy:
Direwolves get glowing eyes when near an allied Fenrir and receive 12.5% less damage while dealing 25% more.
Taming
Unlike other known creatures, Fenrir doesn't exist in the wild, nor do they appear to be tamable (and breedable) by any method. However, they are obtainable in the form of a Cryopod by defeating its boss equivalent, the
Fenrisúlfr.
Only the survivor who initiated the boss fight receives the Cryopod, but there has been a few reports of multiple people getting them, albeit rarely.
While the table below shows which stat gets how many points, in reality, the points are shuffled randomly. Movement Speed will always be 0, reducing the risk of wasted points. These values are also further multiplied by the difficulty setting (with a maximum value of 1), rounded down, and have one subtracted from them.

Notes/Trivia

- The Fenrir is based on the creature of the same name from Norse Mythology that is the son of Loki and Brother of Jörmungandr and Hela and is destined to kill Odin during Ragnarok.
- Fenrir is the only truly new creature originating from a mod to not have a Dossier.
- Fenrir is one of two creature that persisted from the original modded map, albeit with heavily restricted way of obtaining it, the other being
Crystal Wyvern.
- There is a glitch whereby the reward appears as an Empty Cryopod instead of this creature in a pod if the survivor had logged off for any reason and logged back on still intact within the arena.
- Fenrir's cannot be cloned.
