10 Greatest Uses Of Mythological Creatures In Gaming History

The Final Fantasy games make massive use of mythological characters, usually in the form of summons that the player can bring into the battle so that they can wreak havoc on the enemy.

There are many different characters who could have made this list too; drawn from tales from every corner of the globe - but the most endearing surely has to be Odin, who quickly becomes a favourite of practically every player when he's eventually found. The legendary Norse god ably demonstrates the amount of danger he brings to the fight with his devastating Zantetsuken, which is capable of bringing instant death to practically every foe that it is used on.

Of course, for Odin to ally with you the player will often have to do battle with him first, and he is just as much of a threat when facing the party as he is when he is cutting through enemies.

Odin has appeared in practically every main Final Fantasy game since his introduction in the third, and no player is ever upset to have him on their side.
