Immense Strength: As a huge draconic being, Níðhögg possesses incredible strength, being able to go against Kratos’ might as well as Freya and snatch them away effortlessly. She can also suck a matter in surrendering to herself before spitting her out enchanted by Bifröst energy.Įnhanced Senses: Being the protector of Yggdrasil roots, Níðhögg can sense when they are in danger or disturbed no matter where, as she could sensing Freya’s disturbing of roots binding her curse in Vanaheim despite being directly below the world tree. This can be used offensively as well by making her attacks go through those rifts to hit her enemies while remaining out of her range. Inter-Dimensional Rift Creation: Níðhögg can temporarily tear the fabric between realms to form rifts which allows to travel anywhere she wants. In addition, it also knew when it was better to retreat.Īs a primordial and matriarch of Lindwyrms, Níðhögg was a mythical dragon-like being of incredible power and also one of the oldest and most powerful beings in the Nine Realms. On the other hand, Níðhögg was still smart enough to use its abilities creatively, opening portals to send its attacks through.
Unfortunately, its lack of intelligence means that it is incapable of grasping the complexities of certain situations, leading to Odin exploiting it by binding Freya's curse to Yggdrasil's roots. Ratatoskr, saddened but understanding of why she was killed, tasks Kratos with retrieving the young Lindwyrms so that the squirrel can raise them to handle their mother's responsibilities himself, giving the babies a father-figure and giving Ratatoskr some company he desires, also amusedly stating that the baby Lindwyrms are starting to recognize him as their new father rather than as a potential snack.Ī seemingly nonsentient creature, Níðhögg cared only about protecting its territory, in this case, Yggdrasil's roots, and was shown to be willing to fight two gods to this end. With Níðhögg dead, her six babies escape into various realms and cause trouble.

Freya is enraged at Níðhögg's death, as since she was the caretaker and defender of Yggdrasil's roots, Odin knew she would attack anyone who tried to free Freya of her curse, making her an unwitting pawn and victim of the All-Father's schemes as much as Freya was. As she tries to escape after being outmatched, Níðhögg tries opening a hole between realms, but Kratos holds her in place long enough for Freya to close the portal, cutting off Níðhögg's head. When Freya, along with Kratos tries to untie the roots binding her to Midgard, Níðhögg immediately appears to stop them, and engages Kratos in battle until Freya lifts the curse, allowing her to aid in defeating the Lindwyrm.
Her purpose is to gnaw on the roots of Yggdrasil and prevent overgrowth at the World Tree's base whilst also defending any roots that were under attack. Níðhögg is the caretaker of the roots of the World Tree and while her origins are unknown, it was noted by Ratatoskr that she had been there long before him. 08 March 2010 God of War Universe God of War Ragnarök
