An ancient king who wears an antlered helmet and rides a horse. After FF4, his steed changes to a six-legged horse named Sleipnir, who also appeared in FF3 as a regular enemy. He has two weapons which are related to his attacks. His main attack is a sword which slices the enemy in half, often known as the "Zantetsuken" or "Steel-Bladed Sword", for an instant kill. If the enemy can't be killed in one hit, such as a boss, he uses his Gungnir Lance for damage (the lance only appeared in FF5 and FF7). In FF6, Odin was upgradable to Raiden, whose "True Edge" attack had a higher success rate than Odin's "Atom Edge". In FF4, Odin was the king of Baron, killed by Cagnazzo, whose spirit still lived in one of the castle's towers. In FF8, Odin wasn't controllable, but appeared randomly at the beginning of battles for an easy victory. In FF9, the "Odin's Sword" accessory allowed him to deal damage if he couldn't kill an enemy, but without using the Gungnir.
