Well, this is just my opinion on this, but it seems that bugs are generated 
BY Yggdrasil, (but created because of problems in the system)
 
So if they are, it's likely there are sections of the Yggdrasil OS designed 
to deal with these sorts of issues, and it's likely the bugs are forcibly 
stuffed into a bug shape. 
 
Maybe a bug's shape is a lot like the error messages that we see our own 
computers generate. 
 
 for easy identification. Maybe the cute bug/bunny shape contains a wealth of 
data about the problem itself, and allow the goddesses to debug the system 
better through object oriented design.

Hmmm, I wonder what his reaction would be to her "true" form.

Here's a question; How it is spelled in the original? 
From what I can tell, they used the "he" sound not the "ho" sound for Nidhog. 

If you're familiar with the Nidhog of Norse myth, its a wyrm that is eating 
at the roots of Yggdrasil, and will eventually cause it to collapse.
 
Supposedly it's an actual being that lives in one of the wells that 
Yggdrasil's roots dip into, one of which is Urd's well. 
 
Maybe Nidheg is the demon's computer system, and the Nidhog is something 
else. (sort of like how Hild is the queen of hell, while in Norse myth Hel is 
the queen of hell. 
 
I could see a whole series of goddess adventures centering around 
encountering Nidhog as an actual creature.
