Norse Mythology
Fenrir takes its name from a giant wolf in Norse Mythology. Fenrir was one of three children of Loki, the god of mischief, and the giantess Angrboða. When the gods received a prophecy that Loki's children would cause them trouble they cast one of the children into the underworld, one into the sea, and attempted to bind Fenrir down with iron chains. Fenrir let the gods bind him twice but broke the chains both times. The gods employed dwarves create a chain that looked like just a silk thread. Fenrir was wary that this was a trick when the gods came to him, asking him if he would test its strength. He said he would only be bound if a god put his hand in his mouth. Tyr, the god of combat glory, agreed and when Fenrir could not escape the binds, had his hand bitten off at the wrist, leading the ancient norse to refer to the wrist as the wolf joint. At the time of Ragnarök, at the end of the world, Fenrir will have grown powerful enough to break his fetters and is destined to kill Odin, the god of thunder. His son Viðarr will avenge his death and finally kill Fenrir with a sword through his heart.
