|Special Abilities  = *Uses the same TP moves as Fafnir, but be warned, as they are not limited to the alliance who has claim. AoE attacks will hit '''everyone''' in range.
::*'''[[Hurricane Wing]]''' - A [[Wind]] based wing attack that causes a severe but short duration [[Blind]] effect, this [[AoE]] attack also removes [[Blink]] and [[Utsusemi]].
+
**AoE range is ~40 yalms.
::*'''[[Horrid Roar]]''' - Removes all positively induced status effects including food on a single target.  It does not reset [[Hate]].
+
*Nidhogg has a "2 Hour" ability that can be used at will. Noticeable by the usual 2 Hour dust cloud animation, this ability enhances Nidhogg's attack, defense, and magic defense drastically for about 30 seconds.

:*At least one [[Abjuration]] will drop 100% of the time. More than one of the same [[Abjuration]] can drop from one [[Nidhogg]] i.e. two [[Neptunal Abjuration: Legs]], drop rates may vary due to this.
 
 
 
'''Stategy Notes:'''
 
:* Positioning your alliance at the base of Nidhogg's two front feet is crucial to prevent Spike Flail, and withstanding damage from Dragon Breath.
 
:* Avoiding the use of [[AoE]] spells of any kind is highly recommended, as it may target the surrounding [[Darter]]s.
 
:* Avoiding the use of [[DoT]] spells is recommended, as Nidhogg can be put to [[Sleep]] allowing time to recover, if necessary (usually from repeated Hurricane Wings.)
 
:* All mages should keep [[Stoneskin]] up at all times, and at least one member in each party should have [[White Mage]] as a [[Support Job]] to [[Curaga]] party members after an [[AoE]] attack from Nidhogg.  
 
:* Highly resistant to [[Fire]] and [[Ice]] [[Elemental Magic]], although [[Water]] and [[Lightning]] are effective.
 
:** Skillchains -> Magic burst should be used to maximize damage.
 
:*Nidhogg will [[Rage]] after 60 minutes of being engaged.
 
:*Nidhogg's [[Dragon Breath]] and [[Hurricane Wing]] will hit anyone within [[AoE]], regardless of hate. Terrain difference will block wing damage.
 
:*A good way to keep Nidhogg's TP gain down is to have minimal melee DD engaged; however, with sufficient support, an alliance of all melee DD will do fine. One dedicated healer with [[blindna]] per melee party is suggested.

Historical Background[edit]

In Norse mythology Nidhogg was a dragon who gnawed on one of the three giant roots of Yggdrasil, the world tree (a giant Ash tree which connected all 9 worlds of Norse cosmogony). Nidhogg is located by Hvergelmir ("roaring kettle"; source of all cold rivers), one of the three wells/wellsprings located around Yggdrasil, in Nastrond ("dead body hall"), located in the world of Helheim or Niflheim, where it feeds off of corpses to sustain itself. Nidhogg is fated to finally eat through the entire root at Ragnarok, causing Yggdrasil to collapse. Nidhogg will survive Ragnarok and feast on all the wicked dead in its aftermath. The proper spelling of Nidhogg is Níðhöggr, which means "malice striker" or "tearer of corpses" in Norse.


The other inhabitants of Yggdrasil include: the Norn, three elderly wise-women who wove the tapestry which contained the threads of fate for everyone in the universe, 4 stags which ate the bark or foliage of the tree (Duneyrr/Duneyr, Durathror, Dvalin, Dainn/Dain), 4 serpents which assisted Nidhogg in chewing through the root of Yggdrasil (Grafvolluth, Graback, Goin, Moin), Ratatoskr, a squirrel who would run up the trunk of the tree, acting as the messenger for insults between Nidhogg and Vidofnir, the giant eagle perched atop the tree. Sitting between the eyes of Vidofnir is a hawk named Vedrfolnir (Veðrfölnir, also called Veðrlaufnir).
