Naglfar (1)
Naglfar (non.)
The "ship of the dead" which will set sail at Ragnarok and be captained in most sources by the giant Hymir or according to Völuspá by Loki. Naglfar was said to have been built using the uncut nails of the dead, and this belief is reflected in the custom of cutting the nails of the dead before burial in order to delay the arrival of the ship and the battle.
