In the myths

In Norse myth, Loki is a giant’s son counted among the gods of Asgard, a shape-shifter whose tricks both cause the gods’ troubles and solve them. He fathers the wolf Fenrir, the serpent Jörmungandr and Hel, and as a mare gives birth to Odin’s eight-legged horse Sleipnir.

After he brings about the death of Baldr, the gods bind him beneath a dripping serpent. At Ragnarök he breaks free and fights against them.
