“...Hey. You ever wonder what would happen if I just ate everyone we fought? Would the rest keep fighting?”
—Volug (translated from Ancient Language)

Volug is a character from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, and is Queen Nailah's retainer. He is a Wolf Laguz, hailing from the lost nation of Hatari.

Profile[]

Micaiah's party first encounters Volug when searching the desert for Prince Pelleas, alongside Queen Nailah and the heron Prince Rafiel. Nailah orders him to protect Micaiah, where he remains for the rest of the game, proving to be a valuable asset to the Dawn Brigade. As a result of the possible backlash that could arise from having a Laguz accompany the Dawn Brigade, Volug, utilizing the Wildheart skill, poses as a pet dog in his transformed state.

If Volug is placed in the same team as Nailah in Part 4, he will be able to initiate a Base Conversation with Ike. In this conversation, Volug promises to teach Ike the Ancient Language, in exchange for Ike teaching him the Tellius Language.

After Ashera is defeated, Volug returns to Hatari. It is said that he was in his wolf form when he did, having grown comfortable in it due to his time in the Dawn Brigade. If Nailah is dead, Volug will tell Hatari of her hopes and make preparations to migrate the nation to Gallia as she had desired.

Personality[]

Volug usually holds his silence, and is very serious about accomplishing any tasks that he is set. He mainly speaks in the Ancient Language, and has, towards the end of the game, picked up a stuttering command of the Tellius language.

Volug is also shown to possess a sharp sense of humor, which can be seen on the battlefield when he is spoken to. An example of such an instance can be seen in his A-rank support conversation, where he comments: "You know how hard it is to be charming when you never say anything? You should try it. It's hard".

Secret Book (Artwork)
Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

Volug possesses the Wildheart skill, allowing him to Halfshift, therefore allowing him to remain in wolf form for prolonged periods of time. In Part 3 of the game, Volug will stay in normal form, but can Halfshift whenever he is in his untransformed state.

Volug is considered to be a highly competent unit, owing to his Earth affinity and solid base stats. This usefulness of his is rather limited, as his slow EXP gains and low growths in Strength, Defense and Resistance all serve to pull him down. Due to a translation mistake, people think this can be easily fixed in Parts 3 and 4, where he may remove the redundant Wildheart skill and gain EXP normally. Unfortunately, the Halfshift skill only allows him to merely raise his stats by 1.5x, as opposed to twice when he transforms normally, but does not alter EXP gains by battle.

Ending[]

Black Wolf of the Sands (砂塵の黒狼, Sajin no kuro ōkami)
Strangely, Volug was still in wolf form on the day he went home. When asked why, he only said, "It's more comfortable".
If Nailah died
Volug returned to Hatari to tell of Nailah's hopes and the great war. He hoped to migrate the whole nation.
