Ratatoskr

Ratatoskr is the mischievous squirrel in Norse mythology who runs up and down Yggdrasil, the world tree, carrying messages—and often insults—between the eagle at the top and the dragon Níðhöggr gnawing at the roots. His gossiping exacerbates the feud between the two, symbolizing how words can stir conflict. Ratatoskr embodies mischief, communication, and the interconnectedness of the cosmos. In myths, he represents the power of information and the chaos it can unleash, adding a humorous yet disruptive element to the cosmic order of Yggdrasil.
