Line 227:
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: And when they are the gods, that's really forever. Both Odin and Tyr suffer under this.
* [[Sea Monster]]: The [[Kraken and Leviathan|Kraken]] is originally from Norse myth, but the standout example is Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent - a sea serpent so huge it encircles ''the whole world''.
** There's also the Lyngbakkr, a whale so large that vegetation grows on its back, and sailors regularly mistake its back for an island.
* [[Serial Escalation]]: Freya is the most beautiful woman in the world (being a goddess of love is an advantage). Enter Gerd, Frey's wife, who is the most beautiful woman in the world, which should make her more beautiful than Freya. And that is not mentioning Baldur, who was the most beautiful man in the world, being a [[Spear Counterpart|god of love]], and all.
** Actually, Gerd was a Jotunn, or a Frost Giant and not a normal Norse God. Freya is a Vanir, or fertility Goddess, so basically it means that Freya is the most beautiful Goddess but Gerd is an even hotter Giant.
