Sköll — Ellie's Beast Companion

What is Sköll?

Sköll is the beast companion of Ellie Myers, the protagonist of Rhapsody in Scarlet. The bond between Ellie and Sköll is central to the game’s combat system, enabling spectacular combo attacks fueled by magick.

What does Sköll look like?

KONAMI has not published a labeled portrait of Sköll. However, the closing key art of the announcement trailer shows Ellie standing atop a giant wolf wreathed in living flame. Since Sköll is her signature beast companion — and the Norse namesake Sköll is itself a wolf — this flaming wolf is widely read as Sköll, though this has not been officially confirmed.

How does Sköll fight?

Sköll fights alongside Ellie in combat, with beast skills woven directly into her combo chains — and Ellie can switch between beasts mid-combat to adapt. Sköll’s specific abilities have not yet been officially detailed.

What is the magus-beast bond?

The bond between a magus and their beast companion is a core mechanic of Rhapsody in Scarlet:

• Combat coordination — Beasts and magi work together in real-time combat
• Magick amplification — The beast channels and enhances the magus’s magical power
• Combo enablement — The bond allows for extended attack chains that neither could achieve alone

Are there other beast companions?

Yes. The announcement trailer revealed that Ellie calls on three beasts by name: Sköll, Balhut, and Thunderbird. Sköll is her signature companion; the other beasts’ abilities and bonds have not yet been officially detailed.
