Question
Týr offers his hand so that this beast can be bound with Gleipnir, a chain made whose diverse ingredients include the “breath of fish,” “beard of women,” and “spittle of birds.” For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this large wolf from Norse mythology who is one of Loki’s children.
ANSWER: Fenrir [or The Fenris Wolf; or Fenrisúlfr; or Hróðvitnir; or Vánagandr]
[10m] Týr’s relationship with this other canine isn’t much better, as he kills and will be killed by Týr during Ragnarok. This large dog is the guardian of Hel.
ANSWER: Garm [or Garmr]
[10h] To describe the beast that will break its fetters after Garm’s howl, the Völuspá uses this word for “greedy one” or “wolf,” making it ambiguous whether it refers to Garm or Fenrir. This is the name of the alphabetically prior member of a pair of wolves who dine with the Einherjar (“AYN-her-yahr”).
ANSWER: freki (Freki and Geri are Odin’s wolves.)
