Not to be confused with Canas.
Canis (エルフ Erufu, Elf in the Japanese version) is one of the twelve Deadlords, and appears in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, and Fire Emblem Awakening.
In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, little is mentioned about the Deadlords, but they are all fought in the Final Chapter near Belhalla and eventually defeated, including Canis herself.
In Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, Canis is fought in the Final Chapter. The character who becomes Canis is Sara, if she is either dead or not recruited.

Overview
Canis possesses a Resire tome, and it is thus recommended to attack her with characters who are capable of defeating her quickly before she can make any moves, such as Shannan with the Balmung or Larcei with a Hero Sword. Alternatively, the Sleep Staff or the Silence Staff may be used against Canis before attacking her.

Overview
Canis is widely considered to be the most dangerous of the six Deadlords present in the Final Chapter. Canis is capable of counterattacking with her deadly set of skills, and has the potential of wiping out weaker units with relative ease. Furthermore, if the player waits too long before defeating her, Canis may utilize her Berserk Staff on a random ally unit on the map, which is likely to spell disaster.
It is recommended to have Mareeta's starting position close to Canis, and defeat her with Mareeta's Sword. Alternatively, the player could warp Mareeta over to Canis to defeat her.

Etymology
Elf, Canis' Japanese name, is the German and Dutch word for the number 11.
In the English version of Awakening, the Deadlords' names are Latin words for the animals of the Chinese zodiac. The zodiac's eleventh sign is the dog, which in Latin is canis.
Trivia
- Canas is tied with Jake for the most canonical reclasses at 3 (Shaman, Sage and Valkyrie).
- Oddly enough, Canis is a enemy with the Elite skill, despite the fact that she is an enemy unit, and enemies cannot gain experience, as well as the fact that she is a level 20 promoted unit, meaning even if she were playable, she could never gain EXP anyways.
