Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine	北欧神話、ゲルマン神話における、竜（または蛇）に変身するドワーフ（または人間）。 ファフニル、ファーフニル、ファーブニル、ファヴニルとも呼ばれる。 『ニーベルングの指環』では竜に変身する巨人族として、ファーフナーという名前で登場する。 その名は「抱擁する者」を意味する。 魔法使い『フレイズマル』の長男で、次男の『オッテル』、三男の『レギン』という弟がいた。 『オーディン』『ロキ』『ヘーニル』が旅の途中、 河でカワウソに変身していた『オッテル』をしとめた。 この事が発覚し、 神々は賠償として『オッテル』の河の内側と外側と埋め尽くす黄金を支払うこととなった。 『ロキ』はドワーフの『アンドヴァリ』から黄金を生み出す指輪を奪い （この際、アンドヴァリは指環に呪いをかけた、あるいは指環は最初から呪われていた） 黄金とその指輪を『フレイズマル』に渡した。 『ファフニール』は黄金の魅力に取りつかれ、 『フレイズマル』を殺害してそれを奪い『グニタヘイズ』に逃亡し、 黄金を守るために毒を吐く竜に変身する（あるいは指輪の呪いの効果によって竜になってしまう）。 『レギン』の企みにより、 『シグルズ』という若者の剣『グラム』に心臓を貫かれて『ファフニール』は殺されることとなる。In Norse and Germanic mythology, he is a dwarf (or human) who transforms into a dragon (or serpent). Also called Fafnir, Farfnir, Fabnir, Favnir. In "The Ring of the Nibelung," he appears under the name Fafner as a giant tribe that transforms into a dragon. His name means "he who embraces." He was the eldest son of the wizard Freismar, and had two younger brothers, Otter and Regin. During the journey of Odin, Loki, and Hänir, they stopped Otter, who had been transformed into an otter, in a river. When this was discovered, the gods paid Otter gold to cover the river inside and out as compensation. Loki took the ring that produced the gold from the dwarf Andvari (who had cursed the ring, or perhaps the ring had been cursed from the beginning) and gave it and the gold to Freismar. Fafnir, captivated by the gold, kills Freismar, takes it and flees to Gunitha Haze, where he is transformed into a poison-spitting dragon to protect the gold (or is turned into a dragon by the ring's curse). Through the scheme of "Regin," "Fafnir" is killed by "Gram," the sword of a young man named "Sigurds," which pierces through his heart.
