Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent, is a formidable figure in Norse mythology, born of the union between the mischievous god Loki and the giantess Angrboða. Alongside his siblings, the great wolf Fenrir and the queen of the dead, Hel, Jörmungandr's early years were spent in Jotunheim, the land of giants. However, a prophecy foretold trouble caused by these siblings, prompting Odin, the chief of the gods, to cast them out when they were still young. Jörmungandr was flung into the vast sea, where he would grow to an astonishing size, eventually encircling the world, depicted as a flat disc, while holding his own tail in his mouth. In the apocalyptic event known as Ragnarök, Jörmungandr's role as an agent of transformation became evident. Alongside his siblings, he would play a pivotal part in challenging the gods and their heroes. At this cataclysmic battle's climax, Jörmungandr would uncoil from the sea, setting the stage for a chaotic showdown. The gods, despite suffering significant losses, would ultimately prevail, ushering in the rebirth of a new world from the ashes of the old. Jörmungandr embodies the cyclical nature of Norse mythology, where chaos and order are inextricably linked in the eternal struggle for supremacy.
