Hrimthursar

   In Nordic myth the ice giants, sons of Ymir or Hrim. When their father was slain by Odin, helped by Vili and Ve, all were drowned in his blood, except Bergelmir and his wife, who escaped in a boat. Another version of the story in Ragnarok refers, however, to the sailing of the hosts of the frost giants in the ship Naglfar, steered by Hrim. Details are also given under Nordic Creation Legends.
