Nithogg is a storm drake world boss located atop Nastrondir in Stormheim while N [45EEWQ] Scourge of the Skies is available. He used to be a servant to the keepers, but broke free. Vethir wanted him dead for terrorizing the lands of Stormheim.

He also appears during N [10-45] Dances With Ravenbears. Chief Cukkaw and his tribe of wildkin attempt to gain the titanic storm drake's favor with a jolly dance ritual. Nithogg, apparently unimpressed, incinerates the entire tribe with a single breath before flying off.

Adventure Guide[]

The great dragon Nithogg was once of the Thorignir, having left the brood shortly after they swore fealty to the titan keepers. Nithogg believed that one day he would be more powerful than even the keepers, and refused to be their subject. Instead, he took up roost in the mountain Nastrondir, where he raises his brood and terrorizes the nearby lands whenever the mood strikes him.
