What's a Nidhogg?

In Norse mythology, Níðhöggr (Malice Striker, often anglicized Nidhogg) is a dragon who gnaws at a root of the World Tree, Yggdrasill. In the mythology, the Nidhogg is said to be controlled by only one person, the Norse God named Hel.

Hel was clearly busy when Nidhogg, the indie, two-player fencing game, was released because he's all up in its business. Having grown fed up with the tasteless morsels of bark and leaves, Nidhogg left his sanctuary in search of man flesh, and found two colour-coded stick figures fighting each other in dark space.
