Fenrir is a monstrous wolf in Norse mythology. He was the son of the God Loki and giantess Angerboda. Fearing Fenrir’s strength the gods bound him with a magical chain made of the sound of a cat’s footsteps, the beard of a woman and the breath of a fish. He was gagged with a sword and was destined to lie bound to a rock until the Ragnarök (Doomsday), when it was said he will break his bonds and fall upon the gods. According to one version of the myth, Fenrir will devour the sun, and in the Ragnarök he will fight against the chief god Odin and swallow him. Odin’s son Vidar will avenge his father, stabbing the wolf to the heart according to one account and tearing his jaws asunder according to another. Fenrir figures prominently in Norwegian and Icelandic poetry of the 10th and 11th centuries, and the poets speak apprehensively of the day when he will break loose.
