Hresvelgr as he appears in Shin Megami Tensei
Hresvelgr (フレスベルグ, Furesuberugu)? is a demon in the series.
In Norse mythology, Hraesvelgr (Norse: Hræsvelgr meaning Corpse Swallower) is a giant who takes the form of a great eagle. According to the poem Vafþrúðnismál, the wind is a product of Hraesvelgr sitting at the end of the skies and beating his powerful wings when he takes flight.
Some speculate that it is the eagle, Vidofnir, that sits atop the tree Yggdrasil, who is in constant conflict with the dragon Nidhoggr who resides at the base of the tree, as the two greatly envy each other. They exchange insults through the squirrel Ratatosk, who runs up and down the tree.
"Origin: Scandinavia. A giant eagle that dwells in Yggdrasil. His name mens 'corpse swallower,' and he devours the dead to carry their souls. He also flaps his wings to cause all the winds in the world. He's said to be descended from giants and can see the world from his high perch. He is the rival of Nidhoggr, and the two of them will fight even after Ragnarok."
