A dragon neither white nor black / Saw his future self / As no more than a caged beast / A dragon neither white nor black / Sang three songs of prophecy / So someday his soul might be released
— "Poem"

Anankos (Japanese: ハイドラ Hydra) is an ancient silent dragon who is revered as one of the god-like First Dragons. He is the king of the ruined kingdom of Valla, whose descent into madness resulted in the obliteration of both Valla and almost all of its people. The royal families of both Nohr and Hoshido possess his bloodline, and through this bloodline their members are able to tap into the power of Dragon Veins.

Both Hoshido and Nohr worship Anankos as a deity, although each country depicts him differently. Hoshido venerates him as the Dawn Dragon (Japanese: 光竜 Light Dragon), and Nohr venerates him as the Dusk Dragon (Japanese: 闇竜 Dark Dragon).

Biography

Anankos is the ultimate antagonist of the overreaching plot. Anankos replaced Garon with a creature under his control, and used the fake Garon to invade Hoshido to cause destruction and chaos.

Anankos is a dragon with powers over water, he is able to foresee events yet to come and control the emotions of humans.

If the avatar sides with neither kingdom he journeys to Valla to kill Anankos and end the strife between Hoshido and Nohr.

Fire Emblem Fates

Hidden Truths (DLC) =

In the Hidden Truths DLC, the human Anankos had travelled through time and space to Ylisse to recruit Owain, Severa, and Inigo into helping him. After defeating the Vallite forces who ambushed them, Anankos offers each of them to have their wishes come true in exchange for them helping him. The ancient being asked if they wanted infinite life, wealth, and other common desires of man, but the trio asked if it was in Anankos' power to fill the future world they lived in with flowers and give proper burials for their parents. As a thanks for doing such, the tactician from the future gives the Fell Blood to Anankos, who later gives it to his warriors.

Now within Valla, Anankos gives a proper description of who he is and what his issue is. Anankos explains of a dragon who loved the humans who worshipped him. But this dragon learned that he would soon fall into degeneration, being consumed by his bestial urges. In hopes of calming his dragon self down, Anankos had created his Dragonstone and gave it to the royal family of Valla, along with his blood. After which, he sang them a song that was made from three prophecies which, along with his Dragonstone, would calm the dragon down and lessen his power. The Dragonstone would then be passed through generations of the royal family, ending up in Azura's possession, as part of her necklace (or Shigure's, in the case of the "Heirs of Fate" DLC).

Revelation

Role

Anankos is the boss of two chapters in the climax of the Revelation campaign. His first appearance is as the boss of Chapter 27, where the player must defeat him (in his masked head form) to clear the chapter. He reappears in the Endgame as its boss, except here he must be defeated in four parts: first his two hands must be defeated, then his head must be defeated to destroy his body and expose his core, then the core must be defeated.

It is mentioned, that like Archanean dragons, dragons in Fates suffer degeneration. To save themselves from this degeneration many dragons took human form or abandoned their bodies altogether. Anankos fell to madness due to this degeneration.

Anankos

Possibly derived from the ancient Greek deity Ἀνάγκη Ananke, the personification of fate. Her name as a word originally just meant "force" or "necessity", but ancient Greek literature gave it a secondary, poetic meaning of "fate" and "destiny".
