In fact, we don't really know much about him at all. I don't think we really know whether Nidhogg has any abilities like this. Jormungandr can also spray poison from his mouth enough to fill half the sky so maybe he could kill Nidhogg from a distance. But that's about all the evidence I have for that. Being huge is kinda his thing in the mythology. Who knows? I suspect Jormungandr is larger because so many of his names are references to the fact that he is so huge. Maybe he chews on a mouthful of millions of corpses at once and is twice the size of Jormungandr. This could make Nidhogg considerably smaller than Jormungandr but, then again, Norse mythology isn't actually that meticulously thought out, haha. For example, you are large enough that you can't really chew on a single ant, but you can chew on a piece of meat or even something as large as you. He could be just as big or larger, but given that he is always chewing on corpses, maybe that gives us a read on his size. Jormungandr is large enough to wrap around the whole world and bite his own tail but we don't really know Nidhogg's size. What do we know about both? Nidhogg has wings and can fly while Jormungandr does not appear to.
