 Here he is called Ravener also.

Greedy One, as Egill sang:


 * The Greedy One gashed
 * Grisly wounds, when plashed
 * The red Point-Creek
 * On the raven's beak.

Witch-Beast, as Einarr sang:


 * The Götha, cold with venom,
 * With hot Wound-Gush was reddened;
 * The Witch-Beast's warm drink, mingled
 * With the water, in the sea poured.

She-Wolf, as Arnórr sang:


 * The She-Wolf's evil Kindred
 * Swallowed the corpse, harm-swollen,
 * When the green sea was turnèd
 * To red, with gore commingled.

Strangler, as Illugi sang:


 * There was happiness for the Strangler
 * When my lord pursued hosts full many;
 * With the sword the Necklet-Minisher
 * Pierced the swart Snake of the Forest.
