Who is the Norse god of death?

0

The goddess of the underword (Niflheim, meaning place of nothing / of the dead) was named Hel. She was one of the daughters of Loki, the god of mischief, and sibling to the fell dog Garm and the monstrous Fenris (Fenrir) wolf, who both dwelled alongside her in Niflheim. Some texts also suggest another sibling of Hel; the “World snake”, Iormungandr, who was eventually to be slain in mutually fatal combat with the god Thor during the final battle of Ragnarok.
