Fenrir, or the Fenris wolf, is a legendary, mighty wolf in Norse mythology. The son of Loki and the Jötunn giant Angrboða, Fenrir is the older brother of both Jörmungandr, the Midgard serpent and arch nemesis of Thor, and the goddess Hel who rules over Helheim.
Mythology
When Fenrir was imprisoned by the gods who feared his prophesied wrath, he managed to bite off the arm of Tyr, one of his captors.[1] Odin then used Gleipnir, an unbreakable rope, to subdue Fenrir.[2] Fenrir killed or will kill Odin during the final battle of Ragnarök.[3]
Influence
Due to the beast's legendary nature, Vikings like Eivor Varinsdottir[4] and Dag[5] and were known to curse oaths revolving around Fenrir.
In the 9th century, Viking children played a game of hide-and-hunt, in which others hid while one, pretending to be Fenrir, "hunted" them. While visiting East Anglia, Eivor joined one group of children in their game and won due to her superior hiding skills.[6]
Later, Eivor consumed a mixture prepared by Ravensthorpe's resident oracle Valka, which sent her on a hallucinogenic vision where she "explored" mythical realms of the Norse cosmology. During her journey, she came across the great wolf in a cave and fought it.[7]
