Fenrir or ~~~Fenris.
Fenris. The wolf of sin [i.e. of Loki], meaning the goading of a guilty conscience. The "wolf" was the brother of Hel (q.v.). When he gapes, one jaw touches earth and the other heaven. In the Ragnarok he swallows the sun and conquers Odin; but being conquered by Vidar, he was cast into Niflheim, where Loki was confined. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
