Description Welcome to week 5 of this project!


"A dragon of Norse mythology, sometimes described as a snake. Its name means "one who burns with rage." It is usually depicted as a all-black dragon with huge wings.
Nidhoggr lives with many other serpents in the spring of Hvergelmir, in Niflheim. It continually gnaws at the roots of the world tree Yggdrasil, tipping the balance of the world toward darkness.
Nidhoggr is the bitter rival of Hraesvelgr, the great eagle who lives at the top of the tree. The squirrel Ratatosk acts as a go-between in their never-ending quarrel. Ratatosk takes the messages they send to each other and exaggerates them, twisting their words into cruel taunts. It enjoys egging them on so much that they two will never be friends.
At Ragnarok, the end of the world, Nidhoggr and Hraesvelgr are fated to eat every one of the souls that die."
