He was once a dwarf who murdered his own father to claim a cursed hoard of gold. Consumed by greed, he transformed into a great serpentine dragon and coiled himself around the treasure, poisoning the land around him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSigurd, the greatest of the Volsung heroes, was tasked with slaying him. Guided by Odin and the smith Regin - Fafnir's own brother - Sigurd forged the legendary sword Gram and dug a pit in the path the dragon used to reach the river. As Fafnir crawled over the pit, Sigurd drove his sword upward into the serpent's unprotected belly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Fafnir lay dying, he warned Sigurd that the gold was cursed and would bring ruin to all who possessed it. Sigurd took it anyway. Tasting the dragon's blood, he gained the ability to understand the speech of birds - who warned him that Regin planned to betray him.
