Brief Bio
In Norse mythology, Naglfar (Old Norse for "nail ship") is a colossal ship built from the untrimmed fingernails and toenails of the dead. This "ship of doom" carries the forces of chaos—giants (jötnar) and the dishonorable dead—to battle the gods during the Ragnarök, the prophesied end of the world. The myth suggests that trimming the nails of the deceased could delay the ship's construction, thereby delaying the cataclysmic event
