Template:Infobox gods Jörmungandr (also known as: The World Serpent) is a mythical serpent. He is an ally of Kratos and Atreus, and helps them on their journey.

Powers & Abilities

Jörmungandr is one of the most powerful beings of Midgard. Due to his colossal size, he possesses enormous strength, enough to fight Thor himself to a stalemate. For now, is unknown what other abilities or powers he may possess.

Biography

God of War

After the other Jötnar isolated themselves or were hunted down by Thor and the others Æsir, Jörmungandr was the only giant able to fight Thor to a stalemate, being the only giant left living in Midgard. He passes the time by sleeping and protecting Tyr's secret room since he has nobody to communicate with; due to him being the only being on Midgard who speaks the Jötnar's language.

After Kratos and Atreus summon him, the powerful serpent decides to help the Spartan god and his son in every way he can, even supporting them during the fight against Baldur.

Personality

Jörmungandr despises the Æsir gods, principally Thor and Odin, since they were the ones who hunted down the Jötnar to near extinction. Both the Serpent and Thor have a deep hatred for each other and are destined to kill each other during the Ragnarok.

Jörmungandr feels extremely lonely, due to being one of the few beings of Midgard who speaks a "dead language". However, according to Mimir, the serpent loves to talk when he cans.
