Nidhoggr is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

Origin

Nidhoggr is a serpent or dragon in Norse mythology. Nidhoggr is mentioned twice in the Poetic Edda: in the Völuspá, where it lives in a hall by Nástrǫnd in Hel and sucks on the corpses of the dead and damned; and in the Grímnismál, where it lives by and gnaws on one of Yggdrasil’s three roots and is enemies with the eagle that sits in the tree’s crown; the squirrel Ratatoskr running up and down the trunk conveying their insults to each other. According to Snorri Sturluson’s Prose Edda the Yggdrasil root Nidhoggr lives next to is by the spring Hvergelmir in Niflheim.

In the last verse of the Völuspá, after the world has started rebuilding after Ragnarök, Nidhoggr will come flying from Niðafjöll carrying corpses in its feathers.
