Fjalar and Galar were two murderous dwarves in Norse mythology.
Mythology
According to the Skáldskaparmál in the Prose Edda,[1] Fjalar and Galar killed Kvasir, a being made from the combined spit of the Æsir and Vanir.[2] After mixing his blood with honey, they made the mead of poetry, a magical mead that granted drinkers the gift of skaldship.
Later, they murdered Suttungr's father Gillingr and his wife. Seeking retribution, Suttungr pursued and caught the dwarves,[3] then tortured them[4] until they offered to give him the mead of poetry in exchange for sparing their lives. Suttungr agreed to this and kept the mead inside the mountain Hnitbjorg, where it was guarded by his daughter Gunnlöð until Odin stole it.[3][5]
