Nidhogg

Nidhogg a.k.a. The Malice Striker, is the foremost of the great serpents and dragons who live beneath the world tree Yggdrasil. From there Nidhogg gnaws at the roots of the tree that holds the nine worlds, slowly but surely bringing forward the day of Ragnarok. On that day when the very cosmos are undone, Nidhogg will fly forth from below Yggdrasil to aid the giants in taking down the Aesir.

In the Völuspá poem (Translated to “Insight of the Seeress”) Nidhogg is described as ruling over a part of the underworld called Náströnd (“The shore of corpses”) where he spends his free time snacking on perjurers, murderers, and adulterers, because what else is a giant terrifying dragon going to do until the end of the world? 

However, this last bit about the punishment of sinners in the land of the dead has a distinctly un-Norse feeling to it, and is suspected to be a later addition influenced by Christianity, as they aren’t happy unless someone’s being punished for eternity.
