öryggissetnara

Öryggissetnara (also known as Vargrögg too or Bavarian Dragons) is a mythological dragon from the mythology of medieval Iceland. The name Öryggissetnara is a compound of Icelandic words: Öryggi, meaning "fear" or "fright", Ernst, which may be related to Old English words for "sword" or "strength", and nara, a patronymic suffix.

The Öryggissetnara is said to inhabit a place called Steinn, which translates to "stone" or "rock". The mythological creature is often referred to as a lizard-like dragon, with the ability to breathe fire. The dragon is not typically depicted as malevolent, but rather as a symbol of the fear that people may have from an unknown or unwitnessed event.

Mythological accounts of the Öryggissetnara vary, but some include physical descriptions of the creature as being green or brown, and relatively small in size. The creature is often associated with the Wormald islands (Written form "Vernaldi", "Fire-Clustered Malady-bringers") and is not typically mentioned in conjunction with any sort of ends demise.

The Öryggissetnara hails from medieval Icelandic folklore, pre-dating even that of the later " Frost Giant" legends of Norse mythology. The specific mythos of the creature is not as well-preserved as that of other, more prominent, mythological concerns. However, the general interest that p arts of this myth may draw is noteworthy to consider.
