Jotun
A Jotun, in
Norse mythology, is a
giant, one of a mythological race with superhuman strength, described as standing in opposition to the gods, although they frequently mingled with or were even married to these, both
Æsir and
Vanir. Their stronghold is known as
Utgard, and is situated in
Jötunheimr, one of the nine worlds of
Norse cosmology, separated from
Midgard, the world of men, by high mountains and dense forests. When living in worlds other than their own, they seem to prefer caves and dark places.
