In both the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, Fenrir is the father of the wolves Sköll and Hati Hróðvitnisson, is a son of Loki, and is foretold to kill the god Odin during the events of Ragnarök, but will in turn be killed by Odin's son Víðarr.

In stanza 54, after consuming Odin and being killed by Odin's son Víðarr, Fenrir is described as " Loki's kinsman ".

The god Tyr defends Freyr, to which Loki replies that Tyr should be silent, for Tyr cannot " deal straight with people ," and points out that it was Loki's son, the wolf Fenrir, who tore Tyr's hand off.

( According to the prose introduction to the poem Tyr is now one-handed from having his arm bitten off by Loki's son Fenrir while Fenrir was bound.

Víðarr is described as the son of Odin and the jötunn Gríðr, and is foretold to avenge his father's death by killing the wolf Fenrir at Ragnarök, a conflict which he is described as surviving.

In stanzas 54 and 55 of the poem Völuspá, a völva tells Odin that his son Víðarr will avenge Odin's death at Ragnarök by stabbing Fenrir in the heart.

Sköll, in certain circumstances, is used as a heiti to refer indirectly to the father ( Fenrir ) and not the son.

This ambiguity works in the other direction also, for example in Vafþrúðnismál, where confusion exists in stanza 46 where Fenrir is given the sun-chasing attributes of his son Sköll.

Hati's surname is Hróðvitnisson, attested in both Grímnismál and Gylfaginning, which indicates that he is the son of Fenrir, whose alternate name is Hróðvitnir (" Famous Wolf ").

At the beginning of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Molly clashes with Bill's fiancée, Fleur Delacour, at this time ; however, at the end of the novel, when Molly rushes to Hogwarts with her husband and Fleur to tend to her son Bill, who is ferociously attacked by Fenrir Greyback, Fleur is greatly offended when Molly jumps to the conclusion she will break up with Bill due to his scarring ; thus Fleur and Molly unexpectedly hug and begin to see each other in a much more positive light.

Gangleri comments that Loki created a " pretty terrible family " though important, and asks why the Æsir did not just kill Fenrir there since they expected great malice from him.

In chapter 34 of the book Gylfaginning, Hel is listed by High as one of the three children of Loki and Angrboða ; the wolf Fenrir, the serpent Jörmungandr, and Hel.

By the jötunn Angrboða, Loki is the father of Hel, the wolf Fenrir, and the world serpent Jörmungandr.

Not only mocking Týr's wound ( his arm was bitten by Fenrir ), Loki also called him a cuckold.

* Loki has three malign progeny by the giantess Angrboda: the wolf Fenrir, Jörmungandr the World Serpent, and Hel.

Some of them may even have many heads, such as Thrivaldi who had nine of them, or an overall non-humanoid shape ; so were Jörmungandr and Fenrir, two of the children of Loki.

It is unknown what myths, if any, lie behind the charges against Odin, but myths documented in the 13th century have Loki taking the form of a mare to bear Odin's steed which was the fastest horse ever to exist, and a she-wolf to bear Fenrir.

In the Poetic Edda, Angrboða is mentioned only in Völuspá hin skamma ( found in Hyndluljóð ) as the mother of Fenrir by Loki.

In the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning, Angrboða is referenced as a " giantess in Jötunheimr " and mother by Loki of Fenrir, Jörmungandr, and Hel.

Another quality of Loki is that his sense of foresight is quite remarkable, as he can usually figure things out way before anyone else does ( though Yamino, Fenrir, and Ecchan figured out who Spica really was long before Loki did ).

According to the Prose Edda, Odin took Loki's three children by Angrboða, the wolf Fenrir, Hel and Jörmungandr, and tossed Jörmungandr into the great ocean that encircles Midgard.

In Norse mythology, Fenrir ( Old Norse: " fen-dweller "), Fenrisúlfr ( Old Norse: " Fenris wolf "), Hróðvitnir ( Old Norse: " fame-wolf "), or Vánagandr ( Old Norse: " the monster of the river Ván ") is a monstrous wolf.

Depictions of Fenrir have been identified on various objects, and scholarly theories have been proposed regarding Fenrir's relation to other canine beings in Norse mythology.

The Æsir went out on to the lake Amsvartnir sent for Fenrir to accompany them, and continued to the island Lyngvi ( Old Norse " a place overgrown with heather ").

When the gods knew that Fenrir was fully bound, they took a cord called Gelgja ( Old Norse " fetter ") hanging from Gleipnir, inserted the cord through a large stone slab called Gjöll ( Old Norse " scream "), and the gods fastened the stone slab deep into the ground.

Fenrir " howled horribly ," saliva ran from his mouth, and this saliva formed the river Ván ( Old Norse " hope ").

Fenrir, Fenrisulfr or Fenris is a Norse mythological wolf.

In Norse mythology, the gods Odin and Tyr both have attributes of a sky father, and they are doomed to be devoured by wolves ( Fenrir and Garm, respectively ) at Ragnarok.

In Norse mythology, a vargr ( often anglicised as warg or varg ) is a wolf and in particular refers to the wolf Fenrir and his sons Sköll and Hati.

In Norse mythology, wargs are in particular the mythological wolves Fenrir, Sköll and Hati.

In Norse mythology, Hati Hróðvitnisson ( first name meaning " He Who Hates, Enemy ") is a wolf that according to Gylfaginning chases the Moon across the night sky, just as the wolf Sköll chases the Sun during the day, until the time of Ragnarök when they will swallow these heavenly bodies, after which Fenrir will break free from his bonds and kill Odin.

* Tiamat in Mesopotamian mythology, Fenrir and Ymir in Norse mythology, and Sedna in Inuit mythology.

In this interpretation, there is a connection between the wolf of this tale and Sköll, the wolf in Norse myth that will swallow the personified Sun at Ragnarök, or Fenrir.

Wolves feature prominently in Norse mythology, in particular the mythological wolves Fenrir, Sköll and Hati.

Fenrir reacted violently ; he opened his jaws very widely, and tried to bite the gods.

This is shown in the Lucifer character Fenrir, who is described as the act of destruction itself ; though not said, it has been postulated that this is the manifestation of Destruction's realm.

: áðr hana Fenrir fari ;

In the east, and bore the brood of Fenrir ;

In the Prose Edda, additional information is given about Fenrir, including that, due to the gods ' knowledge of prophecies foretelling great trouble from Fenrir and his rapid growth, the gods bound him, and as a result Fenrir bit off the right hand of the god Týr.

Týr and Fenrir ( 1911 ) by John Bauer ( illustrator ) | John Bauer

Fenrir is first mentioned in prose in chapter 25, where the enthroned figure of High tells Gangleri ( described as King Gylfi in disguise ) about the god Týr.

High says that one example of Týr's bravery is that when the Æsir were luring Fenrir ( referred to here as Fenrisúlfr ) to place the fetter Gleipnir on the wolf, Týr placed his hand within the wolf's mouth as a pledge.

However, the Æsir brought up the wolf " at home ", and only Týr had the courage to approach Fenrir, and give Fenrir food.

In reference to Fenrir's presentation in the Prose Edda, Andy Orchard theorizes that " the hound ( or wolf )" Garmr, Sköll, and Hati Hróðvitnisson were originally simply all Fenrir, stating that " Snorri, characteristically, is careful to make distinctions, naming the wolves who devour the sun and moon as Sköll and Hati Hróðvitnisson respectively, and describing an encounter between Garm and Týr ( who, one would have thought, might like to get his hand on Fenrir ) at Ragnarök.

The suggested parallels with Fenrir myths are the binding of an evil being by a ruler figure and the subsequent swallowing of the ruler figure by the evil being ( Odin and Fenrir ), trickery involving the thrusting of a hand into a monster's orifice and the affliction of the inserted limb ( Týr and Fenrir ).
