Lore

Garm is the fierce hell hound in Norse mythology, chained at the gates of Hel, the underworld, with a bloody chest and ferocious strength. He howls before Ragnarök, signaling doom, and battles Tyr to mutual death in the final conflict. Garm guards the realm of the dead, preventing escape and embodying the terror of death's threshold. His presence foreshadows chaos and destruction, symbolizing the inescapable nature of fate and the violence of the end times in Norse cosmology.
