librum-prodigiosum: In Norse mythology, the jötnar are a race of monstrous giants who inhabit the realm of Jötunheimr after being refused entry into Asgard by the Æsir. They are described as huge and hideous in appearance, with some possessing many heads. The jötnar are descended from the primal giant Ymir. They are positioned as the enemy of the Æsir, though some stories tell of the two races peacefully co-existing. They are associated with nature, and many natural features are thought to be the creations of the jötnar. Though there are many different kinds of jötnar, the most famous are the frost giants, or hrímþursar. This branch of the jötnar has become so ubiquitous that the jötnar are often thought of as simply a race of frost giants, and are portrayed this way in many different forms of media. Image source.
