Naglfar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Naglfar, in Norse mythology, was a ship made entirely from the fingernails and toenails of the dead. During Ragnarök, Naglfar will be freed from the land by a flood and sailed to Vígríðr, the battlefield, by Hrym along with an army of giants. The ship will lead the hordes of chaos against the gods in the last war at the end of time, before a new world will arise from the sea.

The ship's name may have originally meant "Wraith ferry", but Snorri in the Prose Edda provides a folk etymology of "Nail ferry", urging that no dead be buried with uncut fingernails, lest more material be added to it.
