The myth

In the myths, Jörmungandr is the child of Loki and Angrboða and sibling of Fenrir and Hel. Snorri tells how Odin had the three children brought to him, since prophecy called them dangerous, and threw the serpent into the deep sea, where it grew until it circled the earth. No ancient source mentions offspring of the serpent. The Daughter of Jörmungandr is a MYTHENOR creation: it imagines the serpent as it might have been when young, too large for ships and too small for the world. In play it is the bridge between Loki and the Midgard Serpent.

Why it has this power

A level 7 Rare with ATK 2350 and DEF 2100: strong enough to embrace ships, as its flavor says. Water element, under Moon and Leviathan, the same constellations as its parent. Its role is an ancient rhyme: fused with Loki, it grows into Jörmungandr, the Legendary with ATK 3400.

Did you know

In Old Norse the Midgard Serpent is Miðgarðsormr, a masculine noun; MYTHENOR chose to treat the serpent as female.
