Today's background monster is Jormungand. Here you go:

Quote:
The serpent, Jormungand was the middle child of Loki and the giantess, Angrboda. He had 2 siblings, Hel, and the wolf, Fenrir.

Alarmed that Loki had fathered these children, Odin sent a group of gods to kidnap them. Once captured, Odin threw Jormungand into the ocean surrounding Midgard, where he lived from then on. The serpent grew so much that he encircled the whole world & bit his own tail.

At Ragnarok, Jormungand will escape to dry land & spew venom over all the earth & sky. He will then fight Thor, Son of Earth, who will kill the serpent at Vigrid, not before he is poisoned by Jormungand's venom. Thor will only be able to take 9 steps after killing the serpent before he also falls dead.


To prove Final Fantasy rehashes things...

Jormungand is more commonly known as the Midgar Serpent.

Never knew I knocked that chick up....oh well, guess there is worse things than having a bastardized dragon for a kid...

And for those of you wondering, I wanted Loki, taken, so I added a K, taken, then added an I and voila!

I would love to see the alliance that went to Vrtra nekked....

Vrtra is not afraid of naked people, that's Guivre.

Vrtra is a dragon that holds all of the water in the world in the Hindu religion. He is slain and reborn endlessly, and whenever he is slain he releases the waters that he holds. This was the hindu explanation of rain.

Edit: Forgot an e in whenever...

I would really love to see a bunch of people go after Guivre naked, if anything to watch the slaugher that would ensue.
