Trivia

  • Nidhogg is the name of the mighty Dragon of Death from Norse mythology, who constantly gnaws at the roots of the world-tree Yggdrasil. It is told that Nidhogg exists even beyond Ragnarök (twilight of the gods) to collect the corpses of the fallen and take them to the underworld.
  • The red text may be a reference to President Truman's statement to Japan during World War 2, stating that if Japan would not surrender, "a rain of death would fall from the sky".
