The Jötnar (singular Jötunn) were the "frost giants" of Jötunheimr in Norse mythology.

Mythology

Jönar had a reputation for kidnapping human brides.[1]

Loki was part-Jötunn and fathered three children with the giantess Angrboða, who would later fight the gods during Ragnarök.[1]

Influence

In the 10th century, Thorvald Hjaltason considered that Östen Jorundsson could have been the product of such a union as he sought out reliable men for his war band.[2]

Notes

  • It has not been clarified whether the Jötnar are Isu, or a sub-species or Isu or even a alltogether separate species on their own.
