Design Story
Skö is a legendary god-akin wolf whom, according to the prophecy, will one day swallow the sun during the Ragnarok, the end of the world of Norse mythology.
Often identified with his father Fenrir (thanks to mythlover for the note) who will instead swallow Odin himself during the final battle.
This tribal design of Fenrir was requested by Justin to recall his Norse ancestry.

[TT: true... although it is traditionally believed that it is Fenrir who swallows the sun, historically it will be Odin who will be devoured by him while his sons Skoll and Hati will swallow the sun and the moon respectively. The ambiguity originally comes from the use of the names Hroovitnir and Hroovitnirson to indicate Fenrir and his sons.]
