About Fenris the wolf
The Fenriswolf grew up in Asgard. At first it was small and harmless, but it quickly grew to supernatural size and terrified the aesir. In the end they agreed that it should be tied up so that they could control it. Unfortunately, it could not happen with the wolf's good will and no aesir dared to force it. They had the chain Lødig made to tether it with, and they persuaded the wolf to try the chain to see how strong it was. The Fenriswolf jumped the chain with ease, and they then had the Drome chain made. Again the gods had to challenge the wolf to see if it could get out of the chain, and once again the Fenriswolf was able to destroy it.
After this they made the dwarves forge the magic chain Gleipner, which was made from the breath of fish, the saliva of birds, the sinews of bears and the roots of mountains, the noise of cat's paws and women's beards. The chain was quite thin, so when the gods challenged the Fenriswolf again, it demanded that Tyr put his left hand in its mouth, as the wolf suspected something was up. When the chain tightened and the Fenriswolf couldn't get free, it bit off Tyr's hand.'
The Fenriswolf is now tied up in a cave at Amsvartner in Jotunheim. Until Ragnarok, the wolf howls with rage in the cave. The gods put a sword across the gape of the raging wolf to prevent it from snapping at them. Fenris cannot therefore close his mouth and from the foam that emerges from his gape is formed the raging river Von that runs through Jotunheim.
At Ragnarok it will finally break the chain, and then it will swallow Odin, but afterwards Odin's son Vidar avenges him by throwing Odin's spear Gungner into its gaping hole, killing it.
The story of Tyr and the Fenriswolf is found in Gylfaginning in the Younger Edda. It is mentioned in Loki's argument in the older Edda.
