    History

    The Fenris Wolf is a mystical creature from the Asgardian dimension of Niffelheim who is said to be an offspring of Loki and Angrboda. Before it reached maturity, Fenris threatened Idunn, keeper of the gods' golden apples of immortality, and was banished to Varinheim by Haakun the Hunter. This incident later became the basis for the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood.

    Just as Fenris reached maturity, the Asgardian gods decided it would be unsafe to allow Fenris to roam the land unfettered. They took to playing a game with the wolf to see how easily he could snap the bonds they put on him. Each time they forged a thicker and stronger chain of iron, but Fenris broke them all. Finally, Odin the All-Father commanded a dwarf to forge an enchanted fetter. The dwarf did so, creating a thin, silk-like substance of phenomenal durability called Glepnir. When the gods entreated Fenris to try to break this binding, the wolf-god sensed a trick. The Fenris agreed to let them put the bonds around him only if there was a god willing to put his hand in the wolf's mouth as a gesture of trust. Only Tyr, the god of war, was courageous enough to make a sacrifice, and he placed his right hand in the wolf's fangs. When Glepnir proved unbreakable, Fenris bit off Tyr's hand. The gods then bound Fenris to a rock where he has been kept to this day.

    It is prophesized that when Ragnarok, the twilight of the Asgardain gods, occurs, Fenris will devour Odin.
