Níðhöggr and Veðrfölnir's Eagle are locked in an eternal feud from the bottom and top of Yggdrasil. Ratatoskr carries their hateful words between them, fueling a rivalry that spans the entire world tree.
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.
