Nidhogg

In Norse mythology, Nidhogg ("tearer of corpses") was the monster (although sometimes a dragon) that ate the roots of the World Tree, Yggdrasil and swore at the eagle living in the tree's branches. Nidhogg also ate corpses. The Nidhogg was said to fight with Loki in Ragnarök and would be killed by Thor.

Other serpents who ate Yggdrasil: Graback, Grafvolluth, Goin, Moin.
