There is, in fact no suggestion whatsoever in Norse mythology that Nidhogg (Niohggr / Nidhug) actually died! It could be assumed that since Nidhogg's only purpose was to kill the world tree, Yggdrasill (by gnawing through its roots), that Nidhogg died at the same time as the tree. There is also the possibility that Nidhogg was one and the same as Iormungandr, the "world snake". If this is to be believed then Nidhogg was killed by a stroke from Thor's hammer, Miolnir, during the battle of Ragnarok. For all other intents and purposes, Nidhogg did not die. As a personification of the gnawing presence of a malevolent evil, it could be said that Nidhogg was the only truly immortal being of Norse mythology, and can simply never die.
