The dragon was also mentioned explicitly in Viking mythology, such as with the dragon Fafnir. Sigurd can defeat this dragon by digging a pit and then lying in wait.

In Viking mythology, Fafnir began as a dwarf but got so greedy that he transformed into a dragon to protect his hoard. In the story of Beowulf, the ultimate quest of the Geatish hero begins when a dragon awakes after a thief steals a cup of gold from it.
