Forged from clay by goddess Aruru under Anu's command, Enkidu emerged in ancient Mesopotamian myth as a divine counter to King Gilgamesh of Uruk. Initially existing as a primal, wild entity dwelling among beasts, Enkidu possessed no human intellect or desires. A profound transformation occurred upon encountering Shamhat, a sacred prostitute sent by the gods. Their bond awakened wisdom, reason, and a more humanoid, androgynous form within Enkidu, trading divine power for humanity. This metamorphosis enabled Enkidu to confront Gilgamesh as an equal.
Their prolonged battle ended in mutual exhaustion and deep respect, forging an unbreakable friendship. Together, they undertook legendary adventures, including the slaying of the Bull of Heaven. This beast was sent by the spurned goddess Ishtar after Gilgamesh rejected her. As punishment for this act, the gods inflicted Enkidu's clay body with fatal deterioration. Accepting this fate as a divine tool created for Gilgamesh, Enkidu perished and returned to clay. Gilgamesh mourned them as a true friend, their death profoundly igniting his quest for immortality.
Summoned as a Lancer-class Servant, Enkidu wields unique abilities tied to their origins. The skill **Transfiguration (Rank A/A+)** enables dynamic parameter allocation using "creation points," reflecting their nature as a divine construct ("Automatic Doll") with no fixed form. Enkidu reshapes their body into weapons like spears or chains, or even beasts, each embodying peak human craftsmanship. **Perfect Form (Rank A)** grants regeneration by absorbing environmental mana, sustaining their body indefinitely with sufficient energy. **Presence Detection (Rank A+)** provides acute sensory awareness of Servants or mana sources across vast distances.
Enkidu's primary Noble Phantasm is **Enuma Elish: O' Humans, Let Us Bind the Gods (Rank A++→EX)**, an Anti-Purge attack converting their body into a divine energy construct. It draws power from the planet (Gaia) and humanity's collective will (Alaya), scaling against threats to the Human Order. Functioning as the "Chains of Heaven," it originates from their divine mandate to restrain Gilgamesh, later repurposed to protect humanity. A secondary Noble Phantasm, **Age of Babylon: The Wisdom of the People**, allows weapon creation from clay, reflecting technological eras (e.g., modern firearms if summoned in the 21st century).
In *Fate/Grand Order Final Singularity - Grand Temple of Time: Solomon*, Enkidu manifests among the Heroic Spirits autonomously summoned to aid Ritsuka Fujimaru during the assault on Goetia's Time Temple. They join the collective battle against the 72 Demon God Pillars, contributing significant combat prowess alongside fellow Servants. The film adaptation depicts Enkidu primarily through action sequences, simplifying or omitting game dialogue. Their presence reinforces themes of solidarity and sacrifice.
