Fenrir

'When the gods knew that Fenrir was fully bound, Fenrir reacted violently; he opened his jaws very widely, and tried to bite the gods. The gods thrust "a certain sword" into Fenrir's mouth, the hilt of the sword on Fenrir's lower gums and the point his upper gums. Fenrir howled horribly, saliva ran from his mouth, and this saliva formed the river Ván. There Fenrir will lie until Ragnarök, when Fenrir ultimately kills Odin.'
