"Greyback." One of the serpents that slither at the foot of the world-tree Yggdrasil, according to the eddic poems Grímnismál and Gunnars slagr:

Now is Grábak lulled,

and Grafvitnir,

Góin and Móin,

and Grafvöllud,

Ofnir and Svafnir,

with venom glistening,

Nad and Nidhögg,

and the serpents all,

Hring, Höggvard,

by the harp's sound.
