Nidhögg Alodi

"Nidhogg or Níðhöggr is a mythic dragon who gnaws at the roots at the bottom of the world tree, Yggdrasil. in Norse mythology, it is represented as the symbol of Chaos, The Wise Eagle representing Order at the top of the tree.

In historical Viking society, it was a term for a social stigma implying the loss of honor and the status of a villain.

Thus, its name might refer to its role as a horrific creature in its action of chewing the corpses of the inhabitants guilty of the most serious of crimes at the shores of Helheim, in Nastrond. [...]

Nidhogg is also suspected to play an important and devastating role in Ragnarok."

So I may have played Age of Mythology WAY too much when i was younger, and having a Norse character may have influenced the design process.

You guys know I love redesigns..

Might have gotten carried away but I did enjoy this challenge quite a bit.

I gave this project the complete concept art threatment, which I'll upload progress later on social media.

(when in doubt, give it halloween colors.)

Yes, she does have fangs, heck, any feature you think she could posess, she might have tbh.
