Fenrir | Scandinavia
“Monstrous wolf destined to devour the world.”
Basic Facts:
- Fenrir is the son of Loki and the giantess, Angrboda.
- This huge wolf was chained up because the gods knew how powerful he was. He was only going to break free when Ragnarok occurred, which is Doomsday. And no, we’re not going to start talking about the Marvel movies.
- Fenrir has made more appearances in modern culture than people realize, mainly references in video games but has made an appearance or two in movies and on TV.
- He’s a father! He has two sons: Skoll (meaning ‘treachery’) and Hati (meaning ‘he who hates’ or ‘enemy’) with the giantess, Hyrrokkin. Though this is just an assumption. Also, like father like son.
- His other name is “Fenris.”
Hi HR,
C.S. Lewis used Fenris as a character in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The wolf gets around.
