what do you guys think?

Stats I have for it are from 1E Deities and Demigods. It is 25,000 miles long, but you can only effectively attack its head. It regenerates all damage each round - so you have to kill it in 1 round. It can bite with poinson and constrict. It is the offspring of Loki and the giantess Angur-boda, brother of Fenris Wolf and Hel.

Fenris wolf is supposed to be a Brachyurus. But I think all of them should be abominations of some sort - which effectively makes them DvR 0 - even so Thor can't just say "Die!".

Oh - it can shift its body to move the head anywhere in the world in 1 round (effectively Greater Teleport at will). I assume that the poison is supernatural and can penetrate poison immunity, since it is foretold that Thor will die in a sea of venom when he kills it - so I would add that feature as well in a Death Throes type of ability.
