The Norse Moon is a man driving a chariot, and a wolf called Hati runs behind him. At the end of the world the wolf catches up.

His sister Sól is chased by a second wolf, Sköll, and that is the reason both of them move so fast. The Prose Edda also has Máni pick up two children carrying a water pail, Hjúki and Bil, and take them with him — which is one of the oldest recorded readings of the dark markings on the Moon as figures.
