Fenrir is a gigantic, monstrous wolf in Norse mythology. He is the son of the trickster god Loki and the giantess Angrboða. Fenrir has two siblings, the serpent Jormungandr and the half-dead, half-living Hel. Fenrir is depicted as breaking free from his chains at Ragnarök, the twilight of the gods, killing Odin, and then being killed by Odin’s son Vidarr.

Fenrir, or Fenrisúlfr, also referred to as Hróðvitnir and Vánagandr is a monstrous wolf in Norse mythology. Fenrir, along with Hel and the World Serpent, is a child of Loki and female jötunn Angrboða. He is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda and Heimskringla, composed in the 13th century. In both the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, Fenrir is the father of the wolves Sköll and Hati Hróðvitnisson, is a son of Loki and is foretold to kill the god Odin during the events of Ragnarök, but will in turn be killed by Odin's son Víðarr.

In the Prose Edda, additional information is given about Fenrir, including that, due to the gods' knowledge of prophecies foretelling great trouble from Fenrir and his rapid growth, the gods bound him and as a result Fenrir bit off the right hand of the god Týr. Depictions of Fenrir have been identified on various objects and scholarly theories have been proposed regarding Fenrir's relation to other canine beings in Norse mythology. Fenrir has been the subject of artistic depictions and he appears in literature.
