Wolves play a central role in Norse mythology. Like Geri and Freki, they are not only the loyal companions of Odin, they also hunt sun and moon like Skalli and Hati and drive them to a hurry and will also catch up with them for world fire. Last but not least, Loki's son Fenrir also plays an important role in numerous stories, where, for example, he kicks off the hand of the god of war Tyr, who raised him but then wants to put on him the shackle Gleipnir, which the dwarves have seized.
