* At the beginning of [[Tom Holt|Tom Holt's]] ''Expecting Someone Taller'' Malcolm Fisher receives the Tarnhelm and the Ring of the Nibelungs from Ingolf, the last of the Frost Giants, cleverly disguised as a badger who he's just run over with his car.

{{quote|'''Ingolf''': "Cut my arm and lick some of the blood."
