The Midgard Serpent - Midgårdsormen

In Norse mythology Midgårdsormen (the Midgard Serpent,
or Jörmungandr) was one of the three children of the
giantess Angrboða and the god Loki. The two others were
Fenrisúlfr (the wolf) and Hel. Midgårdsormen lived in the great
ocean that encircles Midgard - biting in his own tail he then
surround the Earth.

The serpent's arch enemy was the god Thor. They had
several encounters but the last meeting between
Midgårdsormen and Thor occured at Ragnarok, when
the serpent came out of the ocean and poisoned the sky.
Thor killed him and then falled dead,
having been poisoned by the serpent's venom
