In Germanic tradition, the concept is found in various different forms. The most important of these is the battle between the Midgard Serpent and the thunder god Þorr (Donder/Þunor, etc.). During Ragnarök, Þorr dies after slaying the Midgard Serpent. The runestone shown above depicts a different iteration of the motif, where Þorr goes fishing for the Midgard Serpent.
