You're right, I just checked again, and indeed, the one eating at the roots was Nidhogg, nor Jormungandr. But there's one thing you didn't get completely right. Jormungandr literally surround the world(midgard), it's quite bigger than simply the ocean.

And going back to the Ouroboros thing, him letting go of his tail is what initiates Ragnarok, so it could very well be seen as him starting to act being what threatens the world. Thus making him a World Enemy.

But yeah, I was 100% wrong about the World-Eater thing, but I don't think Nidhogg is the final boss. Yes, he's most probably one of the World Enemies, but just like for Jormungandr releasing his tail, Nidhogg's arrival is also a herald to Ragnarok. As such, it seems to me that they both would be among the earliest World Enemy Bosses.
