Fenrir (Mythology)



The Son of Loki, god of fire, and Angroba, Frost Giantess, Fenrir is a Giant, sentient wolf. It's size is so great that, when opening his jaws, his nose touches the sky and his chin touches earth. Even before it attained its present size the gods feared it, for he was destined to swallow Odin, King of the Gods and Lord of Heaven. Through trickery Fenrir was bound by a magic ribbon called Gleipnir, but this Dwarven-made binding will not hold him forever. When Ragnarok, he Twilight of the gods arrives, the ribbon, along with a sword that keeps his jaws open, will be removed, and the Great Wolf, using his massive maw and colossal godly powers, will swallow the Sun, the Moon, and, when the battle is joined between gods, giants and monsters, Lord Odin himself!
