Sometimes known as the Midgard serpent, it was believed that when Jörmungandr released its tail from its mouth, Ragnarok would begin – that which would see to the downfall of the gods.

I love how the story of Sky themed God (Thunder, Lightning, Sun, etc) fighting giant serpent themed monster in many cultures show us how human spread a story then make it different by combining it with their own culture, like:
1. Ancient Greece have Zeus (Lightning) vs Typhon and Apollo (Sun) vs Python.
2. Ancient Babylon have Marduk (Storm) vs Tiamat.
3. Ancient Egypt has Ra (Sun) vs Apep (Apophis).
4. Norse have Thor (Thunder) vs Jormungandr.
5. Hindu have Indra (Thunder) vs Vritra.
6. Japanese have Susanoo (Storm) vs Yamata-no-Orochi.
I found the ouroboros/serpent circling the whale/earth anti-clockwise on Urbano Monte 1587 map. Alex Gleason 1892 map show only head of serpent Australia and New Zealand is part ot the tail, the body became barrier reef
He needed revenge. I respect that
It's kinda fucked up that Fenrir eats his brother Sleipnir at Ragnarok
he is real if anyone wants to see his body just ask
