Fenrir

Features: Gigantic wolf

Source: Norse Mythology

Habitat: Europe



Fenrir was the son of the very devious Norse god named Loki. This canine's father, who continuously battled with the other Norse gods, had great plans for this enormous wolf and his brother Jormungand - to someday ravage and destroy all humans on earth.

Fearing Loki's intentions, the other Norse gods separated the wolf from his father when he was still just a pup. He very quickly grew to a gigantic size, so the gods unanimously agreed to chain him up and keep him locked up until the end of time.

The gods became, which must have been slightly bored and over confident in the control over the seemingly stupid beast, that they one day, challenged him to break free. To their complete dismay, it did so with such ease that is made the chains that bound it seem but like simple paper.

The gods then had to enlist the help of some dwarves to create a magical ribbon called Glepnir. Once the oversized wolf was bound with this enchanted ribbon, it absolutely could no longer break free.
