Zable Fahr is the Benevodon of Darkness. It appears as a boss in Trials of Mana, and it takes the form of three disembodied heads, only one of which contains the boss's main life force. Though it is assumed to be sentient, Zable Fahr doesn't display any personality aside from a desire or instinct for destruction in. However the version visited in a side-quest in Children of Mana does show more personality.
Background[]
- "Humankind tried to harness the energy of the Mana Stones to bring peace to the world. However, they soon fought over control of that energy. Dark forces took advantage of this and soon the world spiraled into an all-out war. The seal on the Darkstone was broken and the creatures of Darkness, including the Benevodon, brought the world to the brink of destruction. [...]It has been many years since then. The world recovered, but the Benevodon is not gone for good."
- —Shade telling his story of Zable Fahr.
Zable Fahr was described as being an "incarnation of disaster" that existed before the world had been fully born. It reigned destruction on existence until the Goddess of Mana defeated it with the Sword of Mana and sealed it away inside the Mana Stone of Darkness. The Darkstone, unlike the other Mana Stones, was sealed away in Malvolia and could never be accessed.
At some point later, the Dark Majesty tried to summon the Mana Stone of Darkness before the Goddess of Mana sealed him away in the Underworld. Belladonna and Malocchio, agents of his Dark Majesty, attempt to put their plan into motion. His Dark Majesty is able to restore the Darkstone to the world at the cost of his life force.
No matter what happens, this plan succeeds and the Darkstone is reborn into the world. However, its structural integrity holds until the other Benevodons are killed. When Faerie's host comes across the stone, it shatters and Zable Fahr emerges.

In the opening/tutorial, Quilto/Quilta and Hawkeye are teleported to Zable Fahr when they are escaping from Nevarl Fortress. Zable Fahr calls Quilto/Quilta the phantom key before attacking. This fight against Zable Fahr is a tutorial on Mega Spirit Magic rather than a true boss and it is defeated after using MSM.
Trivia[]
- Zable Fahr is the only Benevodon whose name isn't known before the Benevodons are released.
- Zable Fahr reappears in Children of Mana. It had fused with Dolan and formed Thaydol.
- In Trials of Mana, the musical theme that plays while battling against Zable Fahr is titled "Three of Darkside", which also serves as one of several event themes. Said musical theme is often associated with villains in the game alongside "Intolerance" and "The Sacrifice Part One", the latter of which plays as the Darkstone shatters before Zable Fahr awakens.
- In Echoes of Mana, "The Sacrifice Part Three" plays when facing and battling Zable Fahr in the Mega Spirit Magic tutorial.
