Fafnir

Fafnir is a character from Norse mythology, originally a dwarf who transformed into a dragon to guard a treasure hoard. He symbolizes greed and the destructive potential of avarice, as his insatiable desire for wealth leads him to become a formidable, monstrous creature. Fafnir is also notable in literary and cultural references, often representing the dangers of greed and the journey of overcoming personal challenges—such as in the story of Sigurd, the hero who slays him to claim the treasure.
