Hrungnir




Prior to his demise, Hrungnir engaged in a wager with Odin in which Odin staked his head betting on his horse, Sleipnir being faster than the steed of the giant's Gullfaxi . After the race, which Sleipnir won, he was invited into Valhalla , but became drunk and abusive. The gods called on Thor to battle with Hrungnir, and defeated him.

His heart had a peculiar shape, it was triangular due to which both the Valknut and the Triquetra have been called Hrungnir's Heart .
