Hymir

Frost-giant. In some traditions, Hymir was the father of the war-god Tyr, like in the Hymiskvida, a poem found Poetic Edda. The usual tradition says that Odin was Tyr's father.

The Hymiskvida was slightly different from the version found in the Prose Edda (written by Snorri Sturluson. The poetic version said that he possessed a magic cauldron, which Thor needed to fetch so they could brew and almost unlimited supply of ale for Aegir's feast. Snorri left all details about the feast and cauldron out of his story.

Thor and Hymir went on a fishing trip where the giant caught two whales. Hymir was terrified when Thor caught Jörmungand, the Midgard Serpent. Either Thor killed Hymir when the frightened giant cut off Thor's line in the Snorri's Edda, or Thor killed Hymir when the giant tried to retake the cauldron from Thor in the forest.
