Naglfari

Not to be confused with Naglfar.

In Nordic mythology, Naglfari is the father of Auðr by the personified night, Nótt.^[1] Naglfari is attested in a single mention in the Prose Edda (written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson) book Gylfaginning, where he is described as one of a series of three husbands of Nótt, and that the couple produced a son, Auðr.^[2] No additional information is provided about Naglfari.^[3]

Rudolf Simek theorizes that Snorri invented Naglfari but states that his reason for doing so is unknown.^[4]
