Jörmungandr, World Serpent

The myth

Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent, is one of Loki's three children by the giantess Angrboða, alongside Fenrir and Hel. According to Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, Odin cast the serpent into the ocean that surrounds the lands of men, and there it grew so large that it encircles the whole world and bites its own tail. Thor faces it more than once: he fishes for it with an ox head as bait while rowing out with the giant Hymir, and at Ragnarök he kills it with his hammer, walks nine steps and falls dead from its venom.

Why it has this power

A Legendary at level 10 with ATK 3400 and DEF 2900: a body long enough to circle the world is both weapon and rampart. Its Water element comes from the ocean it lives in, and the Moon and Leviathan constellations, the great sea monster, mark the tides it commands. It is an ancient rhyme: fusing Loki with the Daughter of Jörmungandr returns the serpent to the sea.

Did you know

In Snorri's telling, when Thor hooked the serpent, the terrified giant Hymir cut the line, postponing their duel until the end of the world.
