Trivia[]
- Mánagarmr uses a similar sprite to Hróðvitnir, but with larger fangs, a smaller tail, distinct fur and red eyes.
- The boss sprite team put a lot of effort into Mánagarmr's expression and facial creases, making it look as fiendish as possible. Even its rows of teeth are gnarled and warped, and its tongue catches on its teeth.[1]
