In Norse (Viking) mythology the main enemies of the Gods were the Jotnar, or Giants. But they did have other enemies. Loki, the Norse trickster god killed the god Balder by tricking Hoder the blind god. He was chained beneath a snake that drips venom onto his face. Also the wolf monster Fenrir that bit off Tyr's Hand and is said to devourer Odin, the king of the gods during Ragnarok, the battle marking the end of the world.
