Skoll (Norse)

In Norse mythology, Skoll is a wolf that, according to Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, chases the Sun (personified as a goddess, Sol) riding her chariot across the sky. Skoll and Hati are the sons of the wolf Fenrir, and an unnamed giantess. In Norse cosmology, the sun and the moon are seen as the eyes of the sky god, Odin. According to the legend, when Hati and Skoll finally catch their prey, it will mark the end of the world, known as Ragnarok.

Skoll and Hati are two of the most feared creatures in Norse mythology. They embody destruction and chaos, and their ceaseless pursuit of the sun and moon represents the unstoppable forces of nature. These giant wolves are a reminder that even the mightiest beings can be brought down by the relentless passage of time.
