Ratatoskr, the squirrel, runs up and down Yggdrasil carrying insults between Níðhöggr at the roots and the eagle at the crown. The squirrel's mischief fuels the enmity between dragon and bird.
Ratatoskr carries slanderous messages from Níðhöggr up to Veðrfölnir's Eagle at Yggdrasil's crown, and bears the eagle's retorts back down. His tale-bearing keeps their enmity perpetually alive.
Ratatoskr runs ceaselessly up and down the trunk of Yggdrasil, bearing spiteful words between the eagle at the crown and Níðhöggr at the roots, a restless messenger woven into the World Tree's eternal drama.
