The name Valknut is not a traditional Viking name but a modern Norwegian title given to the symbol. It combines the words for a slain warrior, "valr," and knot "knut" to mean knot of slain warriors. This name appears to be associated with the dead and with Odin, the god of war and the dead.
Nidhogg entangled himself within the roots of the great Yggdrasil, the tree of life. Deep down there, he gnawed the roots of Yggdrasil and ate the corpses. The eyes of Nidhogg dragon sparkled in the darkness splaying its jaws. During the Ragnarok disaster, Nidhogg joined the giant army to dethrone the Aesir Gods, the Asgard dwellers. Nidhogg was one of few Ragnarok survivors to witness the new period of cosmos.
