Loki A giant. Trickster god, possibly responsible for Baldur's death. Adopted brother of Odin, bound to a rock until Ragnarok Loki was a trouble instigator first class. Originally he was a giant, but because in his young years he mixed his blood with Odin, he was eventually taken in by the Asgards. He betrayed the Asgards and was ultimately responsible for Baldur's death. He gets punished for that by completely being tied up and then a venomous snake place on his head who dripped venomous saliva continuously onto his face. His wife however was completely faithful to him and stood next to him with a shallow bowl in her hand to catch the venomous saliva of the snake. Every once in a while, the venom would drip onto Loki's face and he had to shake his head so vigorously that the whole world would shake and tremor as what we call today earthquakes. Loki did have children in Asgard and some other strange offspring that he sired with the giantress Angrboda such as his son Fenrir, a giant wolf, his daughter Jormangund the serpent, and Hal (Hel) which became goddess of the kingdom of death. As you can see, Hel is the origination word for Hell, also known in other countries as Hoelle and Holla, Holle. Loki changed his appearance into a female and was impregnated by a beautiful horse named Swadilfari and gave birth to the stallion Sleipnir.
