Product Description
LEGEND
In Norse mythology, Jormungandr also known as the Midgard Serpent or World Serpent, is a sea serpent, the middle child of the giantess Angrbooa and Loki. According to the Prose Edda, Odin took Loki's three children by Angrbooa-the Fenrir, Hel, and Jormungandr-and tossed Jormungandr into the great ocean that encircles Midgard. The serpent grew so large that it was able to surround the earth and grasp its own tail and therefore received the name World Serpent. The legend of Ragnarok tells of the violent unrest of the sea when Jörmungandr releases its tail from its mouth and thrashes its way onto land and sprays poison into the skies.
