Kjoptr
Kjoptr was a male jötunn who lived in Svaladal, Svartálfaheimr.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Kjoptr used to live in Jötunheimr and was a witness[1] when the Æsir lord Havi visited his realm, drank enough mead to kill a human, and defeated Suttungr in combat.[2] After some time, Kjoptr traveled to Svartalfheim and found a home in a lake north of Gnafandi Keep. He guarded his watery community by shapeshifting into a fish and proving a nuisance to fishermen who tried in vain to catch it, only to have their pride wounded in failed endeavors. At one point, he tricked and convinced dwarven fisherman Batr into giving all his belongings, especially his chest key, to the lake fish.[1]
However, Kjoptr's persuasion caught the attention of both Batr's sister Meiri and then Havi, who happened to be passing by. When Havi agreed to help, he fished for Kjoptr and caught him. Once caught, Kjoptr revealed himself and explained his situation to Havi. After convincing Havi of his new home and giving him Batr's chest key, Kjoptr continued to live in his new home in peace.[1]
