![]() Fellu eitrdropar inn um ljóra, sá er undinn salr orma hryggjum. Sal sá hon standa sólu fjarri Náströndu á, norðr horfa dyrr. The first instance is in its description of Náströnd. The poem Völuspá mentions Níðhöggr/Níðhǫggr twice. Snorri Sturluson often quotes Grímnismál and clearly used it as his source for this information. The poem identifies Níðhǫggr as tearing at the tree from beneath and also mentions Ratatoskr as carrying messages between Níðhǫggr and the eagle who lives at the top of the tree. The tree suffers great hardship from all the creatures which live on it. ![]() The poem Grímnismál identifies a number of beings which live in Yggdrasill. Later in Skáldskaparmál, Snorri includes Níðhǫggr in a list of various terms and names for swords. Snorri's knowledge of Níðhǫggr seems to come from two of the Eddic poems: Grímnismál and Völuspá. These are names for serpents: dragon, Fafnir, Jormungand, adder, Nidhogg, snake, viper, Goin, Moin, Grafvitnir, Grabak, Ofnir, Svafnir, masked one. In the Skáldskaparmál section of the Prose Edda Snorri specifies Níðhǫggr as a serpent in a list of names of such creatures: The same source also says that "he squirrel called Ratatoskr runs up and down the length of the Ash, bearing envious words between the eagle and Nídhǫggr. This root is placed over Niflheimr and Níðhǫggr gnaws it from beneath. ![]() It is sometimes believed that the roots are trapping the beast from the world. The Danish forms Nidhug and Nidhøg can also be encountered or Norwegian Nidhogg and Swedish Nidhögg.Īccording to the Gylfaginning part of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, Níðhǫggr is a being which gnaws one of the three roots of Yggdrasill. The Modern Icelandic form Níðhöggur is also sometimes seen, with special characters or similarly anglicized. The name can be represented in English texts with i for í th, d or (rarely) dh for ð o for ǫ and optionally without r as in Modern Scandinavian reflexes. In the standardized Old Norse orthography, the name is spelled Níðhǫggr, but the letter ǫ is frequently replaced with the Modern Icelandic ö for reasons of familiarity or technical expediency. Thus, its name might refer to its role as a horrific monster in its action of chewing the corpses of the inhabitants of Náströnd: those guilty of murder, adultery, and oath-breaking. ![]() In historical Viking society, níð was a term for a social stigma, implying the loss of honor and the status of a villain. In Norse mythology, Níðhöggr ( Malice Striker, in Old Norse traditionally also spelled Níðhǫggr, often anglicized Nidhogg ) is a dragon who gnaws at a root of the world tree, Yggdrasil. The performance started and Nidhogg still couldn’t believe what he was doing.Níðhǫggr gnaws the roots of Yggdrasill in this illustration from a 17th-century Icelandic manuscript. The narrator announced loudly, gesturing his hands towards the way Nidhogg was standing. Unbelievable that Nidhogg now has to perform a ridiculous performance only because he didn’t want everyone to know about his little, cute plushy. Nidhogg was a blushing mess and Louie couldn’t stop smiling like a little child. And if he chose neither, Louie probably would have something else up his sleeve. Participate in that stupid festival and expose yourself to everyone or let Louie tell the whole army that Nidhogg, the great leader, sleeps with a plushy. And Nidhogg was in a midlife crisis right now. "Want me to tell everyone in the army that you have a plushy of a little dog and that you can’t sleep without it?" But that’s fine because Louie has a strategy. Nidhogg isn’t someone that would say yes to such things immediately. Louie now was whining, but that was expectant. He should have just shut his mouth, honestly. Did he regret telling Louie that he can sing and dance? And how he did. Nidhogg raised his head from the papers he was working on and just stared at Louie. "You have heard about the National Arts festival, yeah?" Louie giggled before he took the free chair to sit on it. Louie sure was annoying but they still were buddies, nonetheless. "Jesus Christ what did I do to deserve such a nuisance?" Nidhogg sighed. Louie cheerfully entered Nidhogg’s office, not even bothering to knock on the door. "If this doesn’t work then I’ll eat a broom, literally." He folded the newspaper and stood up from his office chair. Nidhogg usually was a guy who always had a serious face on, but him secretly being an artist? That’s like almost impossible. Louie himself wasn’t really a musical artists but he knew one who secretly was one. Apparently it was a music festival where people could sing, dance and perform any kind of music. Louie was looking through the newspaper that just arrived, curious about the new festival that was rumoured to start sooner or later. Credits to the rightful owner | i just edited it.
