*nod* Fenris is the name of the wolf in the Norse myths. Son of Loki, if I recall correctly. I think he was the one who was chained by the gods, and one of them (blanking on the name) had to put his hand in the wolf's mouth as a sign of good faith that they'd set him free. Since there was no intention of setting Fenris free, that god lost his hand.
