Skoll (Or Skoell),

in Norse mythology, was the terrible son of Fenris and Gyge, whose form was that of a monstrous giant resembling a wolf. He steadily pursues the sun in order to devour it, and in this purpose he will eventually succeed. His brother Hate will, in like manner, devour the moon in the end of the world.
