Jormungandir, also known as the World-Serpent, was a giant sea serpent. He was one of the monstrous sons of the Norse God, Loki. There was some debate about whether he should be considered a Wyrm, although he had the powers of one.
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. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)
Powers & abilities
Jormungandir had the ability to burrow through stone and magma if need be, though he usually dwelled underwater. His hide was more or less impenetrable. (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. Due to Jormungandir's impenetrable hide, this had little effect, and neither did his missed attempt to throw a rock at one of the serpent's eyes.
Their battle was prevented from going any further by the appearance of CS-NA. Recognising that, despite the robot's belief that he had only shifted there using randomised coordinates, the coincidence was too great, he came to the conclusion, with the Cupids' help, that the digital throw of dice must have been remotely altered by Loki himself to get CS-NA there at the right time.
