Changes: Nodens

Revision as of 10:08, 18 March 2020

Nodens is a deity and Elder God. He is the lord and master of the night-gaunts, a race of strange flying creatures.

Behind the Mythos

The name Nodens probably derives from a Celtic stem *noudont- or *noudent-, which J. R. R. Tolkien suggested was related to a Germanic root meaning "acquire, have the use of", earlier "to catch, entrap (as a hunter)". Making the connection with Nuada and Lludd's hand, he detected "an echo of the ancient fame of the magic hand of Nodens the Catcher". The name "nodens" translates from Latin as "no teeth."
Nodens makes an appearance in the anime Haiyore! Nyaruko-San! as an old man, as do Night-gaunts.
