Other Supernatural Creatures

Loki A traditional trickster god and shapeshifter Part Aesir and part frost giant Although he was once fairly harmless, he will eventually turn on the gods and lead their enemies in the great battle of Ragnorok

The Frost Giants Called the Jötunn, they are the main enemies of the Aesir and Vanir. They are powerful, but not very bright.

The Dwarves The Dwarves are a race of creatures known for the ability as great craftsmen. They are dark, ugly, and live below ground.

Hel The ghastly daughter of Loki and ruler of the land of the dead.

Fenrir He is the son of Loki. He is in the form of a ferocious wolf who bit off Tyr’s arm and will eventually kill Odin in Ragnorok.

The Midgard Serpent (Jörmungandr) Jörmungandr is another son of Loki. He is a giant serpent that circles our world. He is an enemy of Thor’s and will eventually kill and be killed by him.

The Norse Cosmology

The Nine Worlds 1. Muspellsheimr: World of fire 2. Alfheimr: World of the light elf 3. Vanaheimr: World of the Vanir 4. Ásgarðr (Asgard) : World of the Æsir 5. Miðgarðr (Midgard) : World of the humans 6. Jǫtunheimr: World of the Jǫtunn,(giant) 7. Svartálfaheimr: World of the dark elves, or dwarves 8. Helheimr: World of Hel (the realm of the dead) 9. Niflheimr: World of arctic mist and ice

Yggdrasill Yggrdrasill, or the world tree, is the Axis Mundi of the Norse Cosmos It is a giant ash that connects the nine worlds. A serpent named Níðhöggr chews at the root A squirrel named Ratatosk runs up and down the tree Four dear chew on its branches An eagle perches at its top A rainbow bridge, Bifrost, connects midgard to asgard Valhalla is located in the upper branches.

Ragnarök Ragnarok is the end of the world, similar to biblical revelations It will begin after Balder’s death and will be signaled by the moon being devoured by a giant wolf and Loki and his children breaking loose to lead the charge against the Aesir. During Ragnarok, almost all of the gods will be destroyed.
