The symbol of Jorumungandr is represented by a serpent that is twisted into a circle. According to some myths, this symbol is also known as the Ouroboros symbol where the snake eats its own tail as ‘oura’ refers to tail and ‘robos’ refers to eating. Eventually something mighty pulls on Thor’s line, almost unbalancing the god. Hymir knows immediately that this is Jormungandr, as what other creature would be able to challenge the god.

In Norse mythology, Jormungandr is the enormous world serpent which by the legends was tossed into the ocean by Odin himself. Finding safety and plethora of food in the ocean’s waters, Jormungandr has grown so big that he managed to coil around the land and grasp its own tail with its jaws. The power and might of this serpent has no equal, and once he was recognized as danger to all being Thor himself went to battle the beast only to find the task impossible. This serpent biting his own tail is another iconography of cycle of eternity, and once Jormungandr releases its tail the eternity shall end and the end of all worlds, Ragnarok, shall begin.However, after his victory, Thor will be covered in so much of Jormungandr’s venom that he will only be able to walk nine steps before falling to his own death. Jormungandr will breathe so much of his poison into the air that he will poison all of the nine worlds of the Norse cosmos. It may be that Jormungandr himself triggers Ragnarok. According to Norse mythology, the apocalypse will be preceded by three years of relentless winter in Midgard, the world of men.
