gasp with awe or shriek with fear for
we’re gonna go mythological on your ass
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
creatures from norse mythology who can
forget the time he heroically fought the
yotan alongside the old father Odin that
didn’t happen for this list will be
ranking the most legendary and fearsome
creatures of Norse mythology which is a
mythos deriving from the folk tales and
legends of such Scandinavian countries
as Norway Sweden and Denmark and one day
the Gothel son of Earth was officiating
in the safe of the serpent using a Bulls
head to forbade number 10 drag our to
the dead frightening drag our our undead
revenants that have been reanimated from
the grave sound familiar
yep even Scandinavia has their own
unique take on zombies these corpses
often remain rooted in their final
resting places guarding whatever
treasures or trinkets were buried with
them though Undead a dragger can die a
second death usually through some manner
of burning decay or dismemberment
drag are also have a certain strength of
will since their reanimation is often
the result of a desire for vengeance
upon those who wronged them in life
in other words watch out number nine
fossa griemann fossa grinning are
spirits that usually reside within
bodies of water playing mournful tunes
on an instrument typically a harp or
fiddle a fossa grim can be persuaded to
teach its magical musical skills to
humans in exchange for an offering of
food if only the bare minimum is met
then the fussing limb will only teach
the basic instrumental skills however
should the food offering meet the spirit
standards then the lesson will include
drawing their students hands upon the
strings of the fiddle or harp until
bleeding occurs infusing that person
with the fossa Graham’s innate mystical
talent
number eight slipped Nia in the world of
Norse mythology there are battle steeds
and then there is slip Nia this fearless
and bold eight-legged horse accompanies
Odin the king of the gods to face all of
his enemies in war sleep Nia is actually
the offspring of the trickster god Loki
and the horse survived body while in the
guise of a heated mayor Loki was
impregnated with slip Nia eventually
giving birth to the magical steed able
to travel great distances and thought of
as quote the best horse among gods and
men slip Nia was eventually taken by
Odin and became his most beloved Beast
number seven rata Tosca introducing
ratatoskr glorious champion of Aegis ooh
even Asgard has its small and humble
creatures
gratata Sierra has the important task of
being the God’s own personal messenger
service continually bringing messages
back and forth between the hawk vigil
for Nia and the dragon natok who reside
upon the top and bottom of a grass in
the World Tree respectively the orange
ins of the name ratatoskr stem from the
old norse word for tooth leading to
theories that the squirrel would gnaw at
the world tree although ratatoskr is a
relatively minor character in Norse
mythology he maintains an influence in
media by appearing in Marvel’s
unbeatable Squirrel Girl comic as a
giant squirrel who trash-talks everyone
number 6 yotan are these giants of Norse
myth vary in appearance and
distinguishing characteristics and take
residents in the realm of Jotunheim one
of the nine worlds stemming from the
tree Iguazu the first yotan are came
into the world from the armpits of emia
while Amyas feet gave birth to a
six-headed beast it was these three
creatures that brought about the race of
frost giants yoke gnar of both fire and
frost have been known to interact with
the gods of Asgard
whether it’s softer the fire yotan of
Moosman hime or the dangerous frosty
owner of knee pine these mythical Giants
are an ever-present and ever-evolving
force among
nine world’s number five dwarves at the
mention of dwarves one may think of the
Tolkien battle-hardened variety or even
a group of seven singing miners but the
dwarves of Norse mythology differ quite
a bit they originated from Germanic
mythology typically depicted as
gatekeepers or metalsmiths for specific
wharves nori Suey Elstree and vestry
whose names are Old Norse for the four
cardinal directions are assigned with
holding up the four corners of the sky
the physical origins of dwarves are a
bit more gruesome however as they’re
often described as springing forth from
the skin of amia father of yo NARR as a
maggot or parasite esque growth that
paints quite the picture number four
trolls trolls are a cornerstone of Norse
mythology and folklore though they bear
little resemblance to those fuzzy haired
little dolls we all know and love
patrols like to live everywhere trolls
of myth tend to hide away from humankind
as well as the light the daylight
actually possesses a lethal touch to the
Norwegian troll as it’s raised
turn them instantly to stone the Norse
trolls tend to travel and live in a
tight family or group unit they shun
contact with people and even prove to be
dangerous for those unwise enough to
cross their paths in the dark of night
number three the Kraken
casual movie fans may associate the
Kraken primarily with The Clash of the
Titans
but myth buffs know that the beasts
roots actually date back to Norse
culture specifically the Kraken was a
fearsome sea creature that prowled
oceans swallowing men and entire ships
whole in its wake
sea monsters are no strangers to the
world of myth of course yet the Krakens
legacy continues today in popular
culture be it in film or black spiced
rum
in fact the giant squid genus are Cotuit
as’ is said to be the closest
approximation to what the Kraken might
have looked like in Norse legend
so avast ye mateys number two Fenrir
this offspring of Loki is the Lord of
all wolves and possesses a grim destiny
one that is entwined with both the
all-father Odin and tear the God of
justice
Fenrir is restrained by bonds throughout
much of classic Norse myth keeping his
violence and rage at bay but myth states
that he will break free during Ragnarok
the worlds end and he will engage the
gods in final battle these bloody
skirmishes will result in the loss of
tears hand and in the death of Odin
although Odin’s son Vedad will have his
revenge upon the wolf slaying him in
return
before we release our beasts at the top
of our list here are some honorable
mentions
number one Jormungandr the Great Sea is
held in place by your mankind the
serpent whose giant body in circles it
and who keeps his tail in his mouth to
complete the circle also known as the
world serpent this son of loki takes the
form of a gigantic serpent so large he’s
able to encircle Midgard where humankind
resides while holding his tail in his
mouth if this image sounds familiar
that’s because it’s the same as the
classic uroboros a serpent devouring its
own tail which serves as a metaphor for
the cyclical nature of life in many
cultures perhaps where Jormungandr plays
his most important role is in the events
of Ragnarok or the Viking apocalypse
legend says that the great snake will
release its grip on its tail poison the
sky and fight Thor the God of Thunder
while Thor will defeat the monster it
will be too late as the world is it once
was will have ended or would kill the
serpent but died from its venom
