The thing is about Loki's brood. They're in the form of their greatest greed. all are formless. Should Fenrir lose his greed the ribbon shall no longer bind him. At least that's what I take from the tale in the Children of Odin (book based on the Edda's and folklore).
@@jakey4931 Hi there, as far as I can recollect there is no specific mention of what you say, only that the rope Gleipne (Gleipnir) was made from "things nobody can find"; The breath of a fish, a womans beard, spit from a bird, the mountains roots, the sounds from a cats paw and the bears sinews. Gleipne will not break before the time of Ragnarok and Fenrir will be free. Read and translated a lot of Edda and the other texts in school. But that was a while ago so if you got some of the texts with reference to the original Edda I would love to read up on it again (specially if I remember it wrongly or have missed something like what you described there)
Glad someone beat me to it. Such a stupid oversight Tyr losing his hand to Fenrir so that he would submit to being bound with Gleipnir is a crucial part of the story.
There's a lot they are mistaken with... The Serpent and Thor kill each other, the name pronunciations gave my hemorrhoids cancer of the AIDS, and they forgot a slew of more well known creatures like the einherijar and Geri and Freki...
On Dwarves, you should of added that they were greedy and very good armor smiths, Thor's Hammer is made by Dwarves for instant, and there is one Dwarf known as Fafnir who was greedy for gold and gems, and was cursed and turned into a dragon, guarding his treasure. This was also the inspiration for Smaug, when Tolkien wrote ''The Hobbit''.
Actually Fafnir wasn't cursed for being Greedy, His Father was Given Cursed gold for the release of some of the Asier gods, and that Cursed gold caused Greed and Fafnir killed his father due to it, and slowly became a dragon due to exposure to the curse
Absolutely correct. In fact, when tying up Fenrir they disguised it as a challenge of the wolf's strength. Fenrir, somewhat skeptical of the string they brought when he'd passed that test twice with heavy chains, demanded one of the gods place their right (dominant) hand in his jaws as proof that they'd let him go should he be unable to break free. Tyr was the only one willing to do it, and when Fenrir realised that he couldn't break the chains and the Aesir had no intention of letting him go, he bit off Tyr's hand, forcing the god of war to learn to do everything with his left, which probably won't help him in Ragnarok when he achieves a mutial death with Hel's hound Garm.
he has with his jotun lover 3 children fenrir the wolf.jormungand the serpent.and hel the half beauty half dead godess of the underworld and he is the mother of sleipnir the horse.
Sorry to be that guy but its Draugr (pronounced draw-grr), Sleipnir (pronounced sly-pnear), Svaðlfari (pronounced sva-thl-fari(ð is pronounced like th for THis, or THat, or THen)), Veðrfölnir (ve-thr-fol-neer(remember- ð is pronounced with a loose th sound)), Níðhöggr (pronounced nee-th-hogger), Muspellheim (moo-spell-high-m), Niflheim (knee-full-high-m), you got Ratatoskr right but you tried a little too hard. Dwarves came from Ymir's skin as maggots and reside in Svartalfheim (svart-alf-high-m) or Niðavellir (knee-tha-ve-leer). Tyr lost his hand during the time when the gods were chaining Fenrir up. Fenrir ate it. Once again sorry to be that guy.

It's impressive that three of Loki's children are on this list. And his daughter hel is considered an imp goddess as well. This shows how imp Loki is in Norse myths
No Hella was the second norse God of Death, who held Dominion over Helhime (The Christian word for Hell actually comes from Hella's name and came after they tried to force their view upon nordic peoples) she actually wasn't that bad, Helhime wasn't that bad. it was basically just a second midgard where the dead resided and could even visit their living friends and families with permission, HECK it even had flowers
You missed the most important detail of ratatoskr that he delivers messages between the dragon and the hawk to ANNOY them. He purposefully tries to turn them on each other which is so much cooler
Actually Tyr already lost his hand to Fenrir, in order to capture him (since he is as smart as a man and don't trust easily) they convinced him that they would not capture him in a trap. But in order to make him trust the Norse gods Tyr had to put his hand inside his mouth, as the trap sprung and Fenrir was put in irons, so to did Fenrir's jaws close and Tyr lost his hand. Now calling himself the master of one armed combat. (I think this is accurate, if not, then I apologise).
I read that they tried to bound Fenrir three times, he broke the chains the first two times and on the third time they used magic. The third chain was crafted by the Dwarfs and Fenrir felt the magic, so to earn his trust Tyr put his hand in Fenrir's mouth. When he couldn't break the chains, he bit off Tyr's hand and the gods placed a sword in Fenrir's mouth to keep it open.
Looks like you remember it in more detail then me :D But it's true as you say, I should really know this better considering how many times we read about it in school lol
Indeed. Knowing of the prophecy that Loki's spawn would be at the kill at Ragnarök, they abducted the three children from their mother, Angrboða [the Bringer of Amguish]. Hel, who never smiled [you wouldn’t smile either if above the waist you looked alive but below your body was a corpse], Odinn cast into Hel, that lies near Niflheim. There she would guard and rule over the dead-all that did not die in battle. Jörmungandr, was thrown into the sea, where unrestrained he grew so great as to encompass the earth beneath the waves. But Fenrir, the Fenrisulfr, Odin thought could be tamed and so he kept him with them. But daily the Wolf grew and the Gods feared. Only Tyr had the courage to feed the Wolf and there was a certain trust between them. The Gods decided the Wolf must be bound [they who would fight against their fate often find they have brought it to pass]. They brought to the Wolf a chain called Laeding challenging him to test his strength. He broke through it easily; the broken chunks of chain went flying with a crack like thunder. They brought again a second chain called Dromi. The Wolf sniffed at it and though it was visibly stronger he knew he had grown stronger as well. “One can gain no fame without taking some risks,” he growled. This chain he burst as well and the molten chunks of steel flew like comets, forcing the Gods to take cover. From that was coined a saying-“To leap out of Laeding and to dash out of Dromi,” when anything was especially difficult. At last they determined to call in the specialists-the Dwarves, who had made all the treasures of the Gods-every single one. Odin’s spear Gungnir, his arm ring Draupnir and Odroerir, the mead of inspiration; Frey’s ship Skithbladnir and his boar Gullinbursti; Thor’s hammer Mjolnir and Freya’s necklace Brisingamen. Skyrnir, Frey’s servant, it was who went to Svartalfheim to put the Gods’ request and when he returned he was carrying the rope Gleipnir. Now Gleipnir was not much to look at; in appearance it was only a slender, silken band. How could something so flimsy bind the Wolf when such mighty iron mongery as Laeding and Dromi had so miserably failed? Skyrnir told them what the Dwarves had told him. The rope was made from invisible and hidden things, things that are not found on Earth because the Dwarves have them in their keeping but they are things whose strength is beyond compare. And Skyrnir chanted the magick Runes that the Dwarves taught him; the six strands of which Gleipnir was woven: “Af Din Kattarin “Ok af Skeggi Konunar “Ok af Rotum Bjargsins “Ok af Sinum Bjarnarins “Ok af Anda Fisksins “Ok af Vogel’s Hraka.” [The Noise of a Running Cat The Beard of a Woman The Roots of Mountains The Sinews [or sensibilities] of a Bear The Breath of a Fish And Bird’s Spittle] They took the rope to the Wolf and challenged him to one final contest. “It may not look like much but it’s a bit stronger than it looks.” “You will break through it surely.” “And if you cannot break it it will show that you are no threat to the Gods and we will free you-you can trust us!” The Wolf replied, “That rope is so small it will be no contest-but if it is made with magick, I’m not having that put around my legs. And if I couldn’t break free it would be a long time before I’d get any help from you. Nevertheless, rather than be thought a coward by any of you I will let you bind me on the condition that one of you sets his right hand between my jaws as a gurantee you will let me go. I know you won’t object to my keeping you honest.” You should have seen the Gods all looking every which way except directly at the Wolf. Seeing how things were and how none of the Aesir or Vanir knew how to deal with this unforeseen circumstance Tyr stretched out his hand and set it firmly in Fenrir’s jaws. “Good-” mumbled the Wolf, speaking with his mouth full, “-you’re the only one of them I trust.” Then began the contest. The Wolf struggled and strained but no matter the force he exerted the narrow band grew tighter and tighter. Boiling in ever-growing rage and fury the Wolf stressed and strove; so powerful were his efforts that the force of gravity began to warp out of shape around him; darkness began to cover the Hvedrung’s son. And then the Wolf knew he was beaten. He looked at Tyr. The God of righteous war looked upon him unflinchingly. “Bite-” he said, “-for we have sworn a false oath to you.” The “Leavings of the Wolf” bore his pain in silence but all the Gods rejoiced. They took then a sword and set it to hold open Fenrir’s flashing jaws. In the end they buried him deep in the earth, fastening the rope Gleipnir in such a way that it might never become free from where they’d anchored it. And so the Wolf will remain until the Day of Ragnarök. But that Day will come and the Wolf will break free once he understands the mystery of Gleipnir’s making; once he understands that those six impossible things of which the rope is made, and which hold him prisoner, are Kennings. Kennings for mysteries, within mysteries, within mysteries; mysteries upon which the Power of the Gods is built. But when the Wolf solves these Mysteries-in that Day the Power of the Gods will be broken and the Wolf shall walk free. He will know the Gods to be no Gods at all; he will know himself to be held fast, only so long as he believes in them. In that Day shall the Ragnarök occur and the Powers that be in the Heavens shall be shaken [Matthew 24:29].
The way she pronounced most of these names were abit cringy x) And also, in Norway he is simply called Ratatosk, but in the english language they like to add an r to the end of norse words. Jormungandr, draugr and so forth x) I dont know why
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Tyr lose his hand while Fenrir was being bound? They persuaded Fenrir to allow then to tie a ribbon around its legs. The ribbon was made of cat footsteps, bear sinews, the call of a fish...or something like that. The point is that the reason they don't exist in the world is because they were used to make the ribbon. Fenrir agreed on the condition that someone place their hand into its mouth. Tyr stepped up and placed his right hand in the jaws of the wolf. The ribbon was tied and, much to Fenrir's dismay, it could not break it. In retaliation, it bit off Tyr's hand. Also, I believe Fenrir is destined to devour the sun during Ragnarok.
Depends upon the version of the myth. One version fenrir had two kids. Haiti, and Skoll. Skoll is to eat the sun and haiti the moon. In another version fenrir eats both his mouth touches the sky and ground at the same time and he swallows odin whole.
Yes, you are right. I was going to post just that, but I see you beat me to it! Tyr is my favorite Germanic god and just for that reason, that he knowingly sacrificed his hand to save the world while everyone else failed...Thor and Odin included.
What I mean is at that point he saved the world and everyone else failed to step up to do so. Ragnarok, which was later, is a whole other matter. In that he kills and is killed by Garm, the hellhound.
82SSchultz In all honesty if they didn't tie up Fenrir in the first place he wouldn't have an undying resentment for the norse gods. A couple of the things they did to try and prevent it only furthered it.
Just because you don't watch it it doesn't mean is automatically dead. Don't get me wrong im losing my interest in this channel, I just like norse mythology.
He didnt get betrayed. Fenrir was suspicius of the unbreakable bond since it was so small, and tyr had to give up hos hand to him, and then he realised he couldnt break free. They didnt really betray him
Hope that this video didnt ruin your mythology Scandinavian people :p As a Greek, I understand you when Americans make totally inaccurate movies that represent the mythology ridiculously...
Not really us Danes don't really care since we like to twist or own mythologi and history.. like theVikings most in DK only know us as savage warriors but we were far from. Also Marvel does an decent job of making norse gods populer which is pretty cool imo.
A better name for "Fossegrimen" is "The river man", in Sweden he's called "Näcken". It's a wording from the water flower "Nymphaeaceae" - since he was presumed to be by or in the water of rivers where that flower is growing in Sweden. Also, he does not teach you how to play the instrument, he lures young boys to the water to have them drowned.
Hey guys! Now a video with the coolest creatures from Incan mythology :) i can tell you some: *The Amarus (great flying serpents) *The Ayar Brothers (demigods) *The Supay *Apallimay (deceiving demon) *Jarjacha (Incest demon) *Pishtaco (condemned soul such as a revenant who kills and extract all the fat from its victims) *the Hatu-Runa (a sorcecer who transforms into any animal in order to cause chaos) *The Malku (the great condor) *The Chullachaqui (Transmogrifying demon) *The Urcututo (a great owl deep in the forest) an many other creatures ;)
My favorite is still Nidhogg. I mean, the dragon of apocalypse? It's a concept of many games and movies seen so far, World of Warcraft with Deathwing and Skyrim with Alduin being great examples. The only difference though is that Nidhogg will win. He is the last "great beast" as i like to call them that will end the world completly and prepare it for it's next life. Also, i can't accept you put the crawling snake over the winged snake.
Shirou Tokisada Amakusa Kotomine I don't think this information is correct. Unless you provideca source I cannot agree with that statement. Niðhöggr gnaws at the tree of Yggdrasil and is seen during Ragnarok with corpses in its mouth. It is not stated anywhere that he devours the world. So, some evidence would be lovely to proove one of us wrong. I'm not saying I am correct by no means, I just haven't traced that information anywhere thus far.
Maximus: in all fairness, these names are hardly the Swedish or Norwegian versions, it's more Icelandic. Scandinavian isn't easy for Americans, and even we Scandinavians has no chance of getting Icelandic right, so we shouldn't blame others for the same.
live with honor, protect your family and friends, be a good warrior and worship the old gods and when you die the Valkyries will take you to the halls of asgard where you drink, fight and prepare for Ragnarok with your battle brothers and sisters
@@benjaminsmith5109 Reminder that All Norse's great wolves were fucking Kaiju, Fenrir was large enough that his drool became a fucking river, Skoll is so fucking large he can swallow the god damn sun, and Hati is big enough to swallow the moon.... they are Kaiju of Cosmic proportions
Fun fact about Jormangandr, to prepare for the battle against the flying thunder god Thor, it swallowed its own tail to plug its mouth. This was done to brew poison and on the day of the battle, it spewed so much poison that the very sky became pestilent and toxic.
Currently playing god of war and i'm totally obsessed with norse mythology. Didn't know it appeared so much in other creative contents! (Avengers, alot of anime(SAO, Overlord, etc.), God of War, etc.)
I would argue that the top position should have gone to Surtur, the primordial flame whose fire helped forge the stars and melt away the ice of Niflheim which flowed into Ginnungigap and shaped Ymir the giant. Surtur would eventually take the form of a fire giant and remain dormant until the signs of Ragnarok were upon the world, whereupon he would rise as a living, walking volcano of destruction and set fire to all that remained. But, like all things upon Midgard's soil, Surtur would be defeated by the last standing warrior, Freyr, who would ride out on his golden boar wielding an enchanted Stag's Antler that he would stab into Surtur's eye, which would cause the great primordial to erupt so powerfully that his fiery blast would level the world and leave only darkness.
This is interesting. I've never heard this much of the story of Surtr before. It makes sense, because at the Ragnorok the God's meet with their own dark sides [Odin with Fenrir; Thor with Jormungandr; Tyr with Garm] but though I have heard of Freyr fighting Surtr [with only the antler, his sword having been given away to win Gerdr] I had never heard these further details. What are your sources?
VOLKHVORONOVICH Partially from verbal tradition, partly from personal interpretations while sifting out a lot of the additions christian monks added when the sagas had been written. The details of having his eye gouged was I believe in one book (the title escapes me at the moment) and referenced in the Amon Amarth song "Last Ride of Freyr"
There are hardly any information about it... much less than Norse mythology. Because at least there is the Edda 1 and 2 unlike Slavic stuff which was mostly destroyed by Slavic Christians. Perun and Svarog are cool tho ^^

2:30 WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT LOKI FUCKED A HORSE AND THEN GOT PREGNANT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
After Loki and Thor crossdressed to infiltrate a wedding and murder a Jotun, The Giant's daughter demanded to be repaid with a show, so Loki tied his balls to a goat and played tug of war with it. Norse mythology is really weird.
It's not even among the weirdest stuff he has done according to myth. Does fit in the top 5 though. Keep in mind stuff like that Fenrir and Hel also are his kids.
It gets even weirder. Loki ate once a half-burned heart he found in a fire during his travels. It made him pregnant and eventually he gave birth to the first trolls.
Loki was actually forced into it this time because the gods did not want to give the goddess Freya to a man who built the wall around Asgard as they promised. In order to stop him from completing the wall in the time he promised, Odin had Loki transform into a heated horse to lure away the man's horse. The horse did mate with Loki, impregnating him, and the man failed to complete the wall. This led to the man being executed by the gods for not fulfilling his promise. The wall is now incomplete and will allow the Jotuns a place to enter during Ragnarok. Also. Fenrir, Jormungandr, and Hel were born from Loki, as the father not mother, and a giantess. All children of Giants were malformed, and technically Loki is a tiny Jotun who was blooded into a Norse god by Odin, making him a Jotun with Aesir blood.
Fenrir is my personal favourite. Being the son of my favourite god and my besties favourite animal, also there is just something about his story that makes me love him ❤️❤️♥️
Stop trying to roll your Rs when you still have trouble pronouncing them correctly. Just say them the way you would in English or actually learn how to sound Norse. It was cringy.
Can't really be mad at her for not being able to properly pronounce stuff. The way certain letters are used in different languages can be quite tricky if you are not used to em.
one minor correction. Tyr doesn't lose his hand to Fenrir during Ragnarok. It is actually when the gods trick Fenrir to break out of chains, testing his strength. Fenrir is worried that if they were successful they would not let him go, so he makes Tyr promise to place his hand in his mouth, when the gods finally find chains that Fenrir cannot break out of, they decide not to let him go in fear of him. As Tyr is true to his word, he had kept his hand in Fenrirs mouth and Fenrir bit it off. Fenrir has slept for so long that the land has grown over him and there is a large hill/mountain that is said to be where he sleeps. When he wakes, the earth will give way as he rises to help usher in the age of Ragnarok.
It's a little sad, that WatchMojo do so thorough research when making lists of music and movies - and fail to do, when making lists about culture and folklore. This is filled with a lot of incorrect statements. So many, that the pronunciations isn't even close to being the annoying part of this video.
Correction: the death of the OLD Norse gods. From the ashes of Yggdrasil the young gods would rebuild Asgard and the cycle would continue. (Also, it's not Valhalla.. it's Asgard. Valhalla is the house of Odin, not the world)

You, you forgot that it should be álf and that “ei” is pronounced like the “ai” in English “ei”

Not our fault you forgot your vowels. Lol
Yeah aye I’m an Aussie and I know how to pronunciate the words . Americans 😓😂😂
@@imthedefinitionofatwnk8402 no. Just no. So one aussie can pronounce these words fine and suddenly all of Australia and everywhere else is fine and it's just America? That dosent seem very fair
It's impressive that three of Loki's children are on this list. And his daughter hel is considered an imp goddess as well. This shows how imp Loki is in Norse myths
No Hella was the second norse God of Death, who held Dominion over Helhime (The Christian word for Hell actually comes from Hella's name and came after they tried to force their view upon nordic peoples) she actually wasn't that bad, Helhime wasn't that bad. it was basically just a second midgard where the dead resided and could even visit their living friends and families with permission, HECK it even had flowers
Everybody gangsta until you hear a deep voice say “BOY”

I think too many people are overlooking that Loki disguised himself as a female horse, got plowed by a steed, and later gave birth.
right
King Mmmkay
you would have done the same, admit it
My kinda guy! Lol
You missed the most important detail of ratatoskr that he delivers messages between the dragon and the hawk to ANNOY them. He purposefully tries to turn them on each other which is so much cooler
Much cooler! Thanks!!
Actually Tyr already lost his hand to Fenrir, in order to capture him (since he is as smart as a man and don't trust easily) they convinced him that they would not capture him in a trap. But in order to make him trust the Norse gods Tyr had to put his hand inside his mouth, as the trap sprung and Fenrir was put in irons, so to did Fenrir's jaws close and Tyr lost his hand. Now calling himself the master of one armed combat.
(I think this is accurate, if not, then I apologise).
I read that they tried to bound Fenrir three times, he broke the chains the first two times and on the third time they used magic. The third chain was crafted by the Dwarfs and Fenrir felt the magic, so to earn his trust Tyr put his hand in Fenrir's mouth. When he couldn't break the chains, he bit off Tyr's hand and the gods placed a sword in Fenrir's mouth to keep it open.
Looks like you remember it in more detail then me :D But it's true as you say, I should really know this better considering how many times we read about it in school lol
Indeed. Knowing of the prophecy that Loki's
spawn would be at the kill at Ragnarök, they abducted the three children from
their mother, Angrboða [the Bringer of Amguish].
Hel, who never smiled [you wouldn’t smile
either if above the waist you looked alive but below your body was a corpse],
Odinn cast into Hel, that lies near Niflheim. There she would guard and rule
over the dead-all that did not die in battle.
Jörmungandr, was thrown into the sea, where
unrestrained he grew so great as to encompass the earth beneath the waves.
But Fenrir, the Fenrisulfr, Odin thought
could be tamed and so he kept him with them. But daily the Wolf grew and the Gods
feared. Only Tyr had the courage to feed the Wolf and there was a certain trust
between them.
The Gods decided the Wolf must be bound
[they who would fight against their fate often find they have brought it to
pass]. They brought to the Wolf a chain called Laeding challenging him to test
his strength. He broke through it easily; the broken chunks of chain went
flying with a crack like thunder.
They brought again a second chain called
Dromi. The Wolf sniffed at it and though it was visibly stronger he knew he had
grown stronger as well. “One can gain no fame without taking some risks,” he
growled. This chain he burst as well and the molten chunks of steel flew like
comets, forcing the Gods to take cover. From that was coined a saying-“To leap
out of Laeding and to dash out of Dromi,” when anything was especially
difficult.
At last they determined to call in the
specialists-the Dwarves, who had made all the treasures of the Gods-every single
one. Odin’s spear Gungnir, his arm ring Draupnir and Odroerir, the mead of
inspiration; Frey’s ship Skithbladnir and his boar Gullinbursti; Thor’s hammer
Mjolnir and Freya’s necklace Brisingamen. Skyrnir, Frey’s servant, it was who
went to Svartalfheim to put the Gods’ request and when he returned he was
carrying the rope Gleipnir.
Now Gleipnir was not much to look at; in
appearance it was only a slender, silken band. How could something so flimsy
bind the Wolf when such mighty iron mongery as Laeding and Dromi had so miserably
failed? Skyrnir told them what the Dwarves had told him. The rope was made from
invisible and hidden things, things that are not found on Earth because the Dwarves
have them in their keeping but they are things whose strength is beyond
compare.
And Skyrnir chanted the magick Runes that
the Dwarves taught him; the six strands of which Gleipnir was woven:
“Af Din Kattarin
“Ok af Skeggi Konunar
“Ok af Rotum Bjargsins
“Ok af Sinum Bjarnarins
“Ok af Anda Fisksins
“Ok af Vogel’s Hraka.”
[The Noise of a Running Cat
The Beard of a Woman
The Roots of Mountains
The Sinews [or sensibilities] of a Bear
The Breath of a Fish
And Bird’s Spittle]
They took the rope to the Wolf and
challenged him to one final contest.
“It may not look like much but it’s a bit
stronger than it looks.”
“You will break through it surely.”
“And if you cannot break it it will show
that you are no threat to the Gods and we will free you-you can trust us!”
The Wolf replied, “That rope is so small it
will be no contest-but if it is made with magick, I’m not having that put
around my legs. And if I couldn’t break free it would be a long time before I’d
get any help from you. Nevertheless, rather than be thought a coward by any of
you I will let you bind me on the condition that one of you sets his right hand
between my jaws as a gurantee you will let me go. I know you won’t object to my
keeping you honest.”
You should have seen the Gods all looking
every which way except directly at the Wolf. Seeing how things were and how
none of the Aesir or Vanir knew how to deal with this unforeseen circumstance
Tyr stretched out his hand and set it firmly in Fenrir’s jaws. “Good-” mumbled
the Wolf, speaking with his mouth full, “-you’re the only one of them I trust.”
Then began the contest.
The Wolf struggled and strained but no
matter the force he exerted the narrow band grew tighter and tighter. Boiling
in ever-growing rage and fury the Wolf stressed and strove; so powerful were
his efforts that the force of gravity began to warp out of shape around him;
darkness began to cover the Hvedrung’s son.
And then the Wolf knew he was beaten. He
looked at Tyr. The God of righteous war looked upon him unflinchingly. “Bite-”
he said, “-for we have sworn a false oath to you.” The “Leavings of the Wolf”
bore his pain in silence but all the Gods rejoiced.
They took then a sword and set it to hold
open Fenrir’s flashing jaws. In the end they buried him deep in the earth,
fastening the rope Gleipnir in such a way that it might never become free from
where they’d anchored it.
And so the Wolf will remain until the Day of
Ragnarök. But that Day will come and the Wolf will break free once he understands
the mystery of Gleipnir’s making; once he understands that those six impossible
things of which the rope is made, and which hold him prisoner, are Kennings.
Kennings for mysteries, within mysteries, within mysteries; mysteries upon
which the Power of the Gods is built. But when the Wolf solves these Mysteries-in
that Day the Power of the Gods will be broken and the Wolf shall walk free. He
will know the Gods to be no Gods at all; he will know himself to be held fast, only
so long as he believes in them. In that Day shall the Ragnarök occur and the
Powers that be in the Heavens shall be shaken [Matthew 24:29].
RRrrratatoskerrrRRrr...
Legends say he used to dig up health crystals for Kratos
Yeah that was painful to listen to. Like most of the names on the list.
RAUTAUTAOSKKKKRT
ratatoskeeeet
The way she pronounced most of these names were abit cringy x) And also, in Norway he is simply called Ratatosk, but in the english language they like to add an r to the end of norse words. Jormungandr, draugr and so forth x) I dont know why
First thing that came to mind is that it sounds like the pokemon Rattata. Sorry
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Tyr lose his hand while Fenrir was being bound? They persuaded Fenrir to allow then to tie a ribbon around its legs. The ribbon was made of cat footsteps, bear sinews, the call of a fish...or something like that. The point is that the reason they don't exist in the world is because they were used to make the ribbon.
Fenrir agreed on the condition that someone place their hand into its mouth. Tyr stepped up and placed his right hand in the jaws of the wolf. The ribbon was tied and, much to Fenrir's dismay, it could not break it. In retaliation, it bit off Tyr's hand.
Also, I believe Fenrir is destined to devour the sun during Ragnarok.
Depends upon the version of the myth. One version fenrir had two kids. Haiti, and Skoll. Skoll is to eat the sun and haiti the moon. In another version fenrir eats both his mouth touches the sky and ground at the same time and he swallows odin whole.
Yes, you are right. I was going to post just that, but I see you beat me to it! Tyr is my favorite Germanic god and just for that reason, that he knowingly sacrificed his hand to save the world while everyone else failed...Thor and Odin included.
Well to tell the truth all the Norse Gods failed in their task, and accidentally set into motions the beginning of ragnorak.
What I mean is at that point he saved the world and everyone else failed to step up to do so. Ragnarok, which was later, is a whole other matter. In that he kills and is killed by Garm, the hellhound.
82SSchultz In all honesty if they didn't tie up Fenrir in the first place he wouldn't have an undying resentment for the norse gods. A couple of the things they did to try and prevent it only furthered it.
My favorite creatures of Norse mythology are the trolls, giants, dragons and of course the world serpent.

Fenrir was betrayed by the gods.😞 I'm glad he got in the top 3.
He didnt get betrayed. Fenrir was suspicius of the unbreakable bond since it was so small, and tyr had to give up hos hand to him, and then he realised he couldnt break free. They didnt really betray him
Interesting...I’ve slained many of these creatures on my PS4
Hope that this video didnt ruin your mythology Scandinavian people :p As a Greek, I understand you when Americans make totally inaccurate movies that represent the mythology ridiculously...
thanks it feels better now
Not really us Danes don't really care since we like to twist or own mythologi and history.. like theVikings most in DK only know us as savage warriors but we were far from.
Also Marvel does an decent job of making norse gods populer which is pretty cool imo.
yeah. I really do feel the pain. I will forgive them regarding the marvel version of Thor though, as I really like the movies.
Glad you know our pain!
A better name for "Fossegrimen" is "The river man", in Sweden he's called "Näcken". It's a wording from the water flower "Nymphaeaceae" - since he was presumed to be by or in the water of rivers where that flower is growing in Sweden. Also, he does not teach you how to play the instrument, he lures young boys to the water to have them drowned.
The pronunciations were on point, good job.

Hey guys! Now a video with the coolest creatures from Incan mythology :) i can tell you some:
*The Amarus (great flying serpents)
*The Ayar Brothers (demigods)
*The Supay
*Apallimay (deceiving demon)
*Jarjacha (Incest demon)
*Pishtaco (condemned soul such as a revenant who kills and extract all the fat from its victims)
*the Hatu-Runa (a sorcecer who transforms into any animal in order to cause chaos)
*The Malku (the great condor)
*The Chullachaqui (Transmogrifying demon)
*The Urcututo (a great owl deep in the forest)
an many other creatures ;)
My favorite is still Nidhogg. I mean, the dragon of apocalypse? It's a concept of many games and movies seen so far, World of Warcraft with Deathwing and Skyrim with Alduin being great examples. The only difference though is that Nidhogg will win. He is the last "great beast" as i like to call them that will end the world completly and prepare it for it's next life.
Also, i can't accept you put the crawling snake over the winged snake.
Though the world won't end. Ragnarök is just twilight of the gods - man will still survive.
Vampirization and most dead gods like Balder and Honir...
and more
Shirou Tokisada Amakusa Kotomine But...it's Surtur that destroys the world by coating it in flames...not Niðhoggr
Jan Vovk He devours the leftovers after all deaths (Odin, Thor, Loki, Sutr, everybody else besides the humans...)
Shirou Tokisada Amakusa Kotomine I don't think this information is correct. Unless you provideca source I cannot agree with that statement. Niðhöggr gnaws at the tree of Yggdrasil and is seen during Ragnarok with corpses in its mouth. It is not stated anywhere that he devours the world. So, some evidence would be lovely to proove one of us wrong. I'm not saying I am correct by no means, I just haven't traced that information anywhere thus far.
I'm thinking that Einherjar and Valkyries probably should have gotten an honorable mention, but to each their own. :)
Here after watching trialer for assassin's creed Valhalla...just researching possible bosses
Awesome that you included footage from Troll Hunter - a fantastic movie!!
why do Americans have a German accent when they speak Swedish or Norwegian
Maximus Kilman ikr
i think it has something to do with the guttural tone of both languages being similar. But i am no linguist expert
as a German I think it just sounds really bad
also nothing as German articulation should sound.
But I have a German friend and when he speaks Swedish it sounds like when she talk
Maximus: in all fairness, these names are hardly the Swedish or Norwegian versions, it's more Icelandic. Scandinavian isn't easy for Americans, and even we Scandinavians has no chance of getting Icelandic right, so we shouldn't blame others for the same.
Ragnarok sounds epic. I'd like to be there when it happens
live with honor, protect your family and friends, be a good warrior and worship the old gods and when you die the Valkyries will take you to the halls of asgard where you drink, fight and prepare for Ragnarok with your battle brothers and sisters
so, it's basically heaven but at worlds end, we lose.
No, it's the end of all. the halls of asgard is where part of the dead go to drink, eat and fight to train for the day ragnarok may come.

No Fafnir? Cmon, he was the son of the dwarf king and got turned into a dragon...How does that not place?
what about Skoll and Hati, how did they not place on the list

You saying that damn Squirrel's name makes me smile
I love that Loki bore such powerful, world-ending creatures
Fun fact; ratatoskr is the influence of one of my favorite magic cards, toski bearer of secrets, thank you for the knowledge Mojo
Fun fact about Jormangandr, to prepare for the battle against the flying thunder god Thor, it swallowed its own tail to plug its mouth. This was done to brew poison and on the day of the battle, it spewed so much poison that the very sky became pestilent and toxic.
Thor can't fly... His goat pulled cart can tho..

Cool video. I enjoyed watching this. Honestly, you can't beat Norse Mythology.
I'm Danish, and it's realllllly fun hearing American persons pronounce our words:D
in all honesty i think most Danes would be just as bad at the pronunciation of the original old-norse names XD
They are Canadians not Americans.
Ruben Bylov Andersen We would. We even have totally diferent names than the ones on the list. Jotun = Jætter, Jormungandr = Midgårdsormen etc.
I would argue that the top position should have gone to Surtur, the primordial flame whose fire helped forge the stars and melt away the ice of Niflheim which flowed into Ginnungigap and shaped Ymir the giant. Surtur would eventually take the form of a fire giant and remain dormant until the signs of Ragnarok were upon the world, whereupon he would rise as a living, walking volcano of destruction and set fire to all that remained. But, like all things upon Midgard's soil, Surtur would be defeated by the last standing warrior, Freyr, who would ride out on his golden boar wielding an enchanted Stag's Antler that he would stab into Surtur's eye, which would cause the great primordial to erupt so powerfully that his fiery blast would level the world and leave only darkness.
Not offending you but...
*cue The Dude*
That's just like, your opinion, man
Yeah, Surtur is badass. In my case, I'm upset that Valkyries didn't even get a honorable mention.
Argue or just an opinion?
(I'd put my money on the latter)
This is interesting. I've never heard this much of the story of Surtr before. It makes sense, because at the Ragnorok the God's meet with their own dark sides [Odin with Fenrir; Thor with Jormungandr; Tyr with Garm] but though I have heard of Freyr fighting Surtr [with only the antler, his sword having been given away to win Gerdr] I had never heard these further details. What are your sources?
VOLKHVORONOVICH Partially from verbal tradition, partly from personal interpretations while sifting out a lot of the additions christian monks added when the sagas had been written. The details of having his eye gouged was I believe in one book (the title escapes me at the moment) and referenced in the Amon Amarth song "Last Ride of Freyr"
Top 10 Creatures from Slavic Mythology

There are hardly any information about it... much less than Norse mythology. Because at least there is the Edda 1 and 2 unlike Slavic stuff which was mostly destroyed by Slavic Christians. Perun and Svarog are cool tho ^^

+Christopher Wiet Lol and so tame compared to some of the stuff they used to believe around the world!
so a giant doesn't get too marry freya
These names are just amazing.
So, Loki sure likes bestiality hah?! lol
He does what he wants!!!
It's not even among the weirdest stuff he has done according to myth. Does fit in the top 5 though. Keep in mind stuff like that Fenrir and Hel also are his kids.
It gets even weirder. Loki ate once a half-burned heart he found in a fire during his travels. It made him pregnant and eventually he gave birth to the first trolls.
Loki was actually forced into it this time because the gods did not want to give the goddess Freya to a man who built the wall around Asgard as they promised. In order to stop him from completing the wall in the time he promised, Odin had Loki transform into a heated horse to lure away the man's horse. The horse did mate with Loki, impregnating him, and the man failed to complete the wall. This led to the man being executed by the gods for not fulfilling his promise. The wall is now incomplete and will allow the Jotuns a place to enter during Ragnarok.
Also. Fenrir, Jormungandr, and Hel were born from Loki, as the father not mother, and a giantess. All children of Giants were malformed, and technically Loki is a tiny Jotun who was blooded into a Norse god by Odin, making him a Jotun with Aesir blood.

So Riordan gave us greek, eagyptian, roman and norse mythology. What's next ? Still Interesting
they should make a movie series about the Norse gods and their history
My favourites are Hugin and munin, hati and skòll, fenrir ulfen and sleipner.
I like when they can’t pronounce words correctly lol. It makes me feel «cool» for knowing Norwegian and English
Not like we know any better 🤷🏼♂️ I'm Italian and Cuban and I can't even begin to pronounce those words properly 😂
I very much wish I was able to pronounce Norwegian words. I love Norse mythology so much
My personal favourite is Norse mythology
Fenrir is my personal favourite. Being the son of my favourite god and my besties favourite animal, also there is just something about his story that makes me love him ❤️❤️♥️
Stop trying to roll your Rs when you still have trouble pronouncing them correctly. Just say them the way you would in English or actually learn how to sound Norse. It was cringy.
i agree
The way she said Dragur
The way they say anything...
Indeed. It was painful to listen to. She tried way to much.
HankTheYank i mean she did try though i dont think she meant to sound cringey
where the hell is nøkken !?!?
D dont destroy he's childhood jævla jalla fette
Not on this list
Yep, cause he's folklore and way more recent than norse mythology.
Can't really be mad at her for not being able to properly pronounce stuff. The way certain letters are used in different languages can be quite tricky if you are not used to em.
one minor correction. Tyr doesn't lose his hand to Fenrir during Ragnarok. It is actually when the gods trick Fenrir to break out of chains, testing his strength. Fenrir is worried that if they were successful they would not let him go, so he makes Tyr promise to place his hand in his mouth, when the gods finally find chains that Fenrir cannot break out of, they decide not to let him go in fear of him. As Tyr is true to his word, he had kept his hand in Fenrirs mouth and Fenrir bit it off. Fenrir has slept for so long that the land has grown over him and there is a large hill/mountain that is said to be where he sleeps. When he wakes, the earth will give way as he rises to help usher in the age of Ragnarok.
Loki was also the reason Thor got his hammer 🔨
It's a little sad, that WatchMojo do so thorough research when making lists of music and movies - and fail to do, when making lists about culture and folklore. This is filled with a lot of incorrect statements. So many, that the pronunciations isn't even close to being the annoying part of this video.
why is Nidhogg just a honorable mention?
He is a fucking dragon that eats the roots of the World tree if I'm not wrong
I'm needing to look up if Niddhog and Jurgmundgar are not the same creature.
+TARDISES Nidhogg is also a bow from fire emblem
+TARDISES YES, I'm not the only one who played Age of Mythology lol
+TARDISES YES, I'm not the only one who played Age of Mythology lol
+TARDISES that's not a problem, it was only in the sacred stones
So glad the thumbnail was the first one
I'm from Norway, and I cringe when she spells the words incorrectly:(
Marko Bravo spells? Or pronounces?
Marko Bravo ikke alle er norske
I´m from Sweden, and it bugs me when she tries to pronounce the names :(
Springas well...they are hard to pronouce :/
Marko Bravo me too😂😂
its so cute how she "tries" to pronounce the names correct :D
Ragnarok was not an apocalypse, but a rebirth. It was the end of a cycle. Like Jesus dying for our sins.
Warren Backman
Warren Backman true
Warren Backman we’ve got a Christian here
Correction: the death of the OLD Norse gods. From the ashes of Yggdrasil the young gods would rebuild Asgard and the cycle would continue.
(Also, it's not Valhalla.. it's Asgard. Valhalla is the house of Odin, not the world)
CallMe EJ what’re you gonna do about it I’m curious
Norse Mythology and culture are one of my favourites
