Fenrir-or Fenris-was born in ancient times to the Norse god of mischeif, Loki. Fenrir was like no ordinary wolf though, he soon grew to an immence size. Some say twice as large as a fully grown horse! The Aesir gods soon saw Fenris as a potential threat, so they tricked him into binding him with unbreakable binds. Of course, they went against their word that they wouldn't trick him so, bound by honor, one of the gods had to sacrifice one hand in order to make up for the trick. Tyr, the god of honor and heroes, stepped up to the plate. He sacrificed his hand. But the unbreakable binds wouldn't last forever, an old hag in the forest continued to feed Fenris in secret, and Fenris continued to grow. Over thousands of years Fenris would grow even more! So much more that he outgrew his binds. By this time the day of Ragnarok, or the day of reckoning, was upon the world. Odin riding on his horse Sleipnir, meaning the glider, would throw his spear, Gungnir, into Fenris's cavernous mouth. But, just as the spear struck the gigantic Fenris, Fenris lurched foward and swollowed Odin and Sleipnir, killing the god. That ends the tale of the leviathen wolf demon, Fenrir.
