Interlopers! Barbarous filth! They dare dig their heels and hooves into this hallowed ground? I will kill them for this–one by one–then turn the crimson grass beneath them into their pyre!
— Mannu

Mannu (Japanese: マヌー Manue) is the king of the kingdom of Pyrathi, and in turn the titular Pyrathi Dragon and boss of Chapter 9 of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and its second remake, Shadow Dragon; he is one of the bosses cut from the first remake, Book 1 of Mystery of the Emblem. A king who seldom made contact with the outside world, he immediately sent an army after the Archanean League upon hearing of their arrival in Pyrathi; the army and eventually Mannu would wind up defeated.

Mannu is the first non-human enemy fought in the history of the Fire Emblem series.
