Thor
The Norse god of thunder, who carries the hammer Mjolnir and protects people.
Thor is the god of thunder in Norse tradition, known for his hammer Mjolnir and for guarding both gods and people against giants. He is often pictured with a red beard and a loud, hearty laugh, and thunder was said to be the sound of his chariot, which two goats pull across the sky. In one famous tale he eats an ox and eight salmon at a feast.
In the old stories he is brave and strong but also good-humoured, and he is still honoured today by people who follow the Norse heathen path. He is the son of Odin, and Loki appears alongside him in many tales.
