Norse god-Loki

Loki is a Norse god who can transform into people and animals. Loki’s weirdest moment occurred when he made a bet with a giant who had been employed to build a protective wall for the gods. The giant was offered the goddess Freya if he could complete the wall on time. However, the giant used a stallion who hauled the bricks much faster than the gods expected.
Faced with losing the bet and being killed by his fellow gods, Loki transformed himself into a mare and wooed the giant’s stallion. The `act of love’ led to Loki giving birth to an eight-legged spider-horse (for some weird reason).

    1. He wasn’t “being killed,” he was being chased. There’s a big difference.
    2. The most famous Norse myth regarding Loki is arguably the Death of Baldur, not how he manipulated a giant into building a wall.
    3. The horse he gave birth to was Sleipnir, Odin’s 8-legged horse, not a genetically edited spider or a mutated horse.
