The long, winding body of Jörmungandr is an ever-present sight in the background of most Midgard locations; a stylised version of him even appears on the in-game map. His sea-green scales, interspersed with soft pink, can be seen weaving between hills, rocks, and through the Lake of Nine, and his body appears to be several miles long. The player never sees the end of his tail.
Jörmungandrâs head alone is at least thirty metres long, and has a generally rounded shape like that of a constrictor snake. Deep green seaweed dangles from his chin and jaw, loosely resembling a beard, and his relatively small red-orange eyes are so bright they seem to glow. Within his wide mouth are two rows of triangular, shark-like teeth, and a disconcertingly human-like pink tongue.
