Fenrir This fox-wolf creature’s name is derived from Norse Mythology. The Wolf, Fenrir or Fenris, was a huge monster. He was the son of Loki and the giantess Angrboda. The gods learned that Fenrir would play a large part in Ragnarok, (the Destruction of the world), and sought a way to incapacitate him. None of the gods were strong enough to defeat Fenrir, so they had to resort to trickery. They played on Fenrir’s pride, saying that he would not be able to break any chains put upon him. He took up the challenge and broke all the chains that were used. The gods were stumped, and finally decided that the only solution was a magic chain. They went to the dwarves, who made a magical ribbon, thin and soft. Its appearance was deceiving; it was the strongest binding in the world. When Fenrir was presented with the ribbon he was suspicious, why such a thin restraint? He finally submitted but only on the condition that one of the gods would put their hand in his mouth as a signal of goodwill. Tyr was the only one willing to sacrifice his hand; when Fenrir found he could not break free, he bit Tyr’s hand off. The baby Fenrir has gone through one redraw.
