The wolf Fenrir and great serpent Jormungandr are the two most infamous, but whose to say there aren't others? Pick some of the more esoteric nasties out of the monster manual and give them old norse sounding names. Loki's Children - Though Loki himself is an ambiguous figure, many of his children are monsters. But since no one ever listens to Loki, he is trying to kill the PCs to stop them. ** Optional twist: Loki knows that opening a portal to Hel will cause something bad to happen (like opening Asgard up to invasion from a more traditional evil realm like the abyss or the nine hells). *You could also have bizarre things for the fetch quests, Norse mythology is big on materials like 'the dying breath of a hero' or 'the sound of cat feet.' The PCs have to travel through Asgard (and perhaps the ice and fire realms of the giants) to recover pieces of the world tree in order to open the portal.* Loki and his minions are determined to stop them** The portal opens to the realm of the dead, and Odin believes it will allow him to bring the god Baldr back from that place (Baldr was assassinated by Loki back in the day for being a ponce and a braggart, but everyone else liked him).
I know more about norse mythology (or at least, about the Eddas) than I do about the D&D version, so these may require some adaptation.
