Jotunn god of war
Hem / Hobby, Spel & Fritid / Jotunn god of war
And by god, we mean Greek, not Norse.
This results in Freyr's death, as he has to block the blade to save them. The false prophecy she told Odin before he killed her was that all the realms fall; this ensures that Odin will see fit to make an enemy out of everyone, since he's that kind of person, thus giving all other realms and races the motivation to fulfill her actual prophecy.
When you figure that out, just navigate to the name below.

During the course of her addiction, she became verbally abusive and could even kill Atreus to defend her pot.
Enforced by her clear mental degradation and aggressive behavior from constant use and her reaction to the source of her addiction being destroyed. As in literally, they exchanged their physical hearts as a form of comfort, so that they could still symbolically be together even while separated in entirely different realms.
Loki (Spoiler)
Here he's described as "brave and generous". Climb up the chain. Prophecies foretold that Fenrir would break free from his chains and kill Odin, swallowing him whole in the final battle.
Some are grotesque and terrifying, while others are described as beautiful or alluring, particularly female Jötnar, who often marry gods like Odin or Thor.
Elemental Nature:
- The Jötnar are deeply connected to natural forces, particularly destructive elements like ice, fire, and storms. In the game, him trying to steal Idunn's apples was purely a lie made up by Odin to slander him, and he never did anything to antagonize the Aesir.
- Ambiguous Situation: While the stories told by Ymir say that he died, one of the marbles given to Atreus by Angrboda is said to contain his soul, suggesting this may not have been accurate.
- Composite Character: His story is taken from one of the many variations on the story of Orion more so than Thiazi’s own myth.
- Posthumous Character: Directly because of his daughter and indirectly because of Odin's trickery.
- Our Giants Are Bigger: A shapeshifting one.
- Patricide: His daughter was manipulated into this by killing him during her hunts while he was in the form of an eagle.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: Could shapeshift into any animal.
Wielding a flaming sword, Surtr is prophesied to lead the forces of chaos against the gods, setting the world ablaze. This division among their ranks can weaken their collective strength, especially when facing the unified forces of the Aesir and Vanir.
- Literature: In modern adaptations of Norse mythology, such as Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology or Rick Riordan’s Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series, the Jötnar are portrayed as both powerful enemies and reluctant allies, staying true to their complex mythological roles.
- Video Games: In God of War (2018), the Jötnar are central to the plot, where the game’s protagonist, Kratos, and his son, Atreus, explore the Jötunn legacy.
Loki, as mentioned, is half-Jötunn and often plays both sides in the conflict between gods and giants. In this guide, we’ll show you the location of all 11 Jotnar shrines, which will let you complete the Labor.
Jotnar shrines generally sit along the path of God of War’s campaign, so they’re not terribly difficult to find.
He produced the first of the Jötnar from the sweat of his armpits and from his legs. Up until Kratos stabs the Blades of Chaos into his chest and he becomes Ragnarök.
- Flaming Sword: His weapon which he will use to burn down the whole world during Ragnarök. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Loki’s Jötunn heritage is a key part of his character’s backstory, while the frost giants appear as enemies in Thor (2011).
After that, Odin hid the truth about Aurvandil's death from Gróa's sight with a spell.
- Posthumous Character: Being long dead, his story has turned into a fairy tale.
The Jötnar in Modern Media
The Jötnar, like many figures from Norse mythology, have been featured in a wide variety of modern media, particularly in literature, video games, and films that explore the myths of the Viking Age.
