Talk:Demon Wolf, Fenrir/Trivia/@comment-25542469-20180119160617

Lol, just realized that part of the first trivia is wrong. In mythology, Fenrir is said to kill Odin during the events of Ragnarok, and he was restrained by the fetter "Gleipnir" (which I've read translates to open, amusingly), and it is true that Tyr lost his right hand to Fenrir due to this. However, it was not during a battle, and Tyr did not kill Fenrir, even in the events of Ragnarok. Fenrir was actually tricked by the gods into "playing a game" where he would test his strength. This game was simple, he would be restrained by a fetter, attempt to break it, and he would attempt to break it. He played a total of 3 times, breaking the first two pretty easily. However, when they came to him with the third, he was smart enough to realise it must be a trick, considering Gleipnir looked like a ribbon compared to the last two fetters he broke. So, he told the gods he would only allow himself to be bound if one of them was brave enough to stick their hand in his mouth in good faith, and that if he could not break it, he would be released, or the brave god would lose their hand. Tyr was the only one brave enough to do it since he had been around Fenrir the most, due to feeding him and checking on him. They bound Fenrir, he couldn't break free, the gods went back on their promise, and Tyr lost his hand. Simple as that. At Ragnarok, Fenrir devoured Odin, and then Odin's son Vidar avenged him by 1. Stabbing Fenrir in the heart, or 2. Ripping Fenrir's jaws apart. (The way Fenrir is slain changes based on the version. Just figured I'd put this here, even though it doesn't matter.
