Line 107:
* [[Cool Sword]]: Tyrfing ("finger of Tyr"), which never missed a strike and could cut through metal and stone as if through cloth. Extremely useful for cutting down entire armies of Huns. Unfortunately, also a death sentence for anyone standing nearby whenever it was drawn. Not always healthy for its wielders either.
* [[Cute Monster Girl]]: The giantesses are hot enough that gods married them on a regular basis. Frey's wife Gerd was even said to be the most beautiful woman in the world, which makes her more beautiful than Freya, who's already extremely beautiful. But the male giants are described as pretty fugly. Half-giant Loki is an exception, being extremely good-looking; on the other hand, his children with a giantess are horrible monsters.
** In some adaptations or retellings, Hel is quite attractive. In others, [[Squick|she's a rotted corpse]]. In others still she is a halfway between those to, as in, half of her body is a rotting corpse, and the other half looks pretty normal.
** Heimdallr's parents (all nine of them) are giantesses, which means that Heimdallr is a giant, and there's no indication that he's ugly. Considering that so many giants turn out ''not'' to be ugly, it almost comes off as their alleged ugliness being more trash-talking than truth.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: The dark elves/dwarves originally weren't necessarily all evil, and Hel herself was neutral if not outright good. [[Hijacked by Jesus|Hijacking]] took place however. then again, if [[Protagonist-Centered Morality|the gods sound like assholes,]] most of the beings that are against them are good then.
