Mythical Creature of the Week: Jormungandor


Jormungandor has several names among Norse Mythology.

-          Jormundgand
-          Midgardsormen
-          World Serpent

This creature is a sea serpent. He is the middle child of the giantess Angrbooa and Loki. According to legend Odin took three of Loki’s children, throwing them into the great ocean encircling Midgard. Jormunngandor was one of them. He grew big enough to surround Earth and grab his own tail. Yet, if he let go of his tail he would end the world.
