Susano (スサノオ(すさのお), Susanoo?), also known as Susano-O or Susanoo, is a recurring creature in the Final Fantasy series. Susano is commonly depicted as a powerful swordsman wielding a massive sword.

Appearances

Final Fantasy XIV

Susano, also known as the Lord of the Revel, is the primal of the Kojin beast tribe in Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood. He is summoned completely accidentally, and under his own power, as three treasures—a mirror, a jewel, and his sword, all believed to harbor powerful kami by the Kojin—are brought together. Fittingly, he is a primal aspected to both water and lightning, and in the turning phase of his fight vanishes to incarnate himself as a massive, watery version of himself which must have its sword strikes deflected.

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]Susanoo-no-Mikoto is the Shinto god of the sea and storms. He is the brother of Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, the kami of the sun and the kami of the moon, respectively. All three were born from Izanagi, the "father of all kami" in Shinto. Though a god of storms, Susanoo is also known as a god of swords and swordsmanship, famous for his deed of slaying the eight-headed snake dragon Yamata no Orochi, and discovering the sword, Ama no Murakumo, in its tail, which he offered as apology and offering to return to the heavens. Primarily Susanoo wielded the Totsuka-no-Tsurugi (lit. Sword of Ten Grasps), the sword of his father Izanagi.
