Fenrir
Odin's prophesied killer
Fenrir is a monstrous wolf in Norse mythology, son of Loki and destined to kill Odin at Ragnarök.
The gods bound him with a magical chain after he grew too powerful to control.
The name appears in fantasy literature, video games, and metal music as shorthand for apocalyptic destruction or barely contained ferocity: The final boss was basically Fenrir with extra heads.
