Nidhoggr

Nidhoggr (ニーズヘッグ), also referred to as the Invincible Snake (の), is a jaeger corps active in western Zemuria. They are stated to be a solid corp that never has trouble obtaining employment.
The leader of Niddhoggr is referred to as 'Sir' ().
== Background ==
Nidhoggr's squads are named after body parts in German, such as the Nase ('Nose') platoon operating in Nord Highlands during the Erebonian Civil War on behalf of the Noble Alliance or the Magen ('Stomach') battalion involved in the attempted assassination of Prince Albert von Bartholomeus during the Trilateral Summit in Crossbell on behalf of Count Jerome von Bartholomeus.
Former Nidhoggr squad leader Nacht Weiss says that Nidhoggr owes its invincibility and naming structure to the dissatisfaction in the world: every time one of Nidhoggr's squads get disconnected from the main body, such as an 'Arm' or a 'Leg', it is being regenerated by people upset with the society, criminals and other jaegers in the world.
In the past, Nidhoggr also had a rivalry with the Northern Jaegers. During one of their battles against them in a proxy war between a squabbling corporation and a competing noble family, Colonel Valestein was killed protecting Sara Valestein from Nidhoggr jaegers. One of Nidhoggr's child soldiers was the one that landed the killing blow to Colonel Valestein.
Following the end of the Erebonian Civil War, Nidhoggr later joined up with Zephyr to impede the progress of Class VII after the Northern Jaegers took control of Juno Naval Fortress. However, they later backed down after Aurelia Le Guin arrived to help lead Class VII to stopping the Northern Jaegers.
Once the Great Twilight began, Nidhoggr and the Northern Jaegers were placed on a contract by the Erebonian empire for the upcoming war against Calvard. During this time, both Jaeger corps met up with Sara Valestein and Rean Schwarzer at Colonel Valestein's grave where the proxy war happened to pay their respects. Later, both corps contracts were completed and they both chose to help Class VII and their allies free Eryn after it was taken captive by Gilbert Stein.
The Nase and Nagel platoons participated in Almata's Carnival in Oración but were eliminated in the second and third rounds respectively.
