Among the monsters of Norse mythology, Fenrir was undoubtedly one of the most famous.
When Fenrir was born, he had not yet become so enormous and terrifying. Thus, unlike his younger siblings, he was not exiled by Odin. Instead, he remained in Asgard and was raised by the god of war.
But as he grew at an astonishing rate, his savagery deepened as well. The gods had no choice but to bind him with chains, yet they failed twice in succession.
It was not until the third attempt that the gods invited dwarves skilled in forging to create a magical chain called Gleipnir from six rare materials. After sacrificing one of Tyr's arms, they finally sealed Fenrir away.
However... when Ragnarok arrived, Fenrir still broke free from Gleipnir. He had a pair of wolf cubs Devour the sun and moon, while he himself faced the chief god Odin.
Because of the prophecy, Fenrir successfully Devoured Odin. That was how he came to be known as a god-eater.
Though Fenrir did not continue his rampage afterward. Instead... Odin's son Vidar pinned Fenrir's jaw with an indestructible boot, preventing him from opening his mouth, then drove a sword through his heart and finally killed the monstrous wolf.
In Norse mythology, this was Fenrir's most famous deed. His children swallowed the sun and moon, while he devoured Odin, king of the Norse gods!
As Loki cleared away the evil spirits Eileen had summoned around him, the soul known as the god-eater, the Wolf Spirit Fenrir, appeared with a wolf's howl.
It burst from beneath the ground, opened its heaven-devouring maw, and bit down on Loki!
Fenrir showed no concern for the other evil spirits. Though they were all servants Eileen had summoned, its massive jaws swallowed them within their reach as well.
