Description

Physical appearance

The version of Jormungandir from the Prime Universe was a “building-sized” serpent with dark red scales and a pointed muzzle. His eyes were the same glowing yellow as his father's and his brother Fenrir's, with slitted green pupils. His body was impossibly long, allowing him to encircle the whole Earth. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)

Personality

The Prime Universe version of Jormungandir was devoted to his father Loki, and often schemed to release him early, heedless of the many good reasons why Loki needed to remain bound until Ragnarok. Proud of his nature as a unique, divine being, Jormungandir was often disdainful and “high-handed” (as it were) in his dealings with magical beings he perceived as lesser than him.

Powers & abilities

Jormungandir had the ability to burrow through stone and magma if need be, though he usually dwelled underwater. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)

Biography

In the Prime Universe

A version of Jormungandir existed in the Prime Universe. In December 2021, as he did every winter, he left his post encircling the Earth to burrow into the World Below and visit his father Loki. On the way, he met Juliet-178, Pythagoras-858 and Tero Trollgarsson, who had been sent on a quest by a goddess who was, unbeknownst to all but Pythe, Sigyn, Jormungandir's own stepmother, to slay the Wyrm of Loki. However, after a fruitless conversation trying to ascertain whether Jormungandir considered himself to be a “seprent” or a “wyrm”, Trollgarsson came to the erroneous conclusion that Jormungandir himself was their target, and charged at him.
