==Background==
Jormungand (aka, the Midgard Serpent) is a descendant of the Elder God Set. It is the offspring of Set's great granddaughter, the giantess Angerboda who mated with the Asgardian trickster god Loki. The Midgard Serpent is an incomprehensibly large serpentine dragon, which is able to wrap itself around Earth.
It exists in ethereal form around the planet, and when it squeezes the world it causes natural disasters such as earthquakes and storms. When manifesting itself in physical form, time freezes on the planet, with only godling races like the Asgardians being unaffected.
