The '''Jörmungandr Mechanism''', which appears at the end of [[Tomb Raider Underworld]], is a device associated with the Midgard Serpent and whose activation can bring about Ragnarok, the Norse end of the world. Its builders and purpose are unclear. Fan speculation has attributed the creation of the Mechanism to either: (a) [[Atlantis|Atlanteans]], (b) a pre-Atlantean race, or (c) [[Thor]], and the generally accepted role for the Mechanism is that it is some sort of deterrent Doomsday device.

==Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent==

In Norse mythology Jörmungandr ['jœrmuŋgandr], alternately referred to as the Midgard Serpent (Midgardsormr) or World Serpent, is a sea serpent, the middle child of the giantess Angrboða and the god Loki[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6rmungandr]. According to the Prose Edda, Odin took Loki's three children, Fenrisúlfr, Hel and Jörmungandr. He tossed Jörmungandr into the great ocean that encircles Midgard. The serpent grew so big that he was able to surround the Earth and grasp his own tail. Jörmungandr's arch enemy is the god [[Thor]].
