Dani,

Forgot one snake, the big one, the Midgard
snake, son of Loke and Angerboda. It lies
in the world ocean (in which Odin himself
threw it) and has a firm grip on Midgaard,
the world of the humans biting its own tail.
When Ragnaroek comes the snake and
Thor kill each other.

Juengerian greetings

Bertil
