Cleanup date October 2008 Narfi in Norse mythology may refer to the son of Loki or the father of N tt , the personified night . Son of Loki In the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning , Narfi, also known as Nari or Narvi, is a son of Loki and Sigyn who is killed to punish Loki for his crimes. The gods turned his brother V li son of Loki V li into a slavering wolf who tears Narfi s throat out. His entrails are then used to bind Loki to a stone slab until Ragnar k . However, in the Poetic Edda book Lokasenna , the guts of Nari are used to bind Loki while Narfi is turned into a wolf. Thus it is not generally clear to scholars whether Nari and Narfi are the same, or if Vali is another name for Nari or Narfi. Father of N tt According to the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning , N rfi or Narfi is also the father of N tt. It is not made clear by Snorri in the passage whether or not this is the same Narfi, son of Loki. However, in the Poetic Edda , N tt s father is called N rr not to be confused with N r .
