Hrungnir (13" Storm Giants) Custom Action Figure

The Storm giants live in Jotunheim, and are ruled by the immortal king Rugga. First appearing in Journey Into Mystery, 1964, also known as the Etins, are enormous superhuman beings, most of whom dwell in the other dimensional realm of Jotunheim, one of the Nine Worlds of Asgardian cosmology. They are the traditional enemies of the gods of Asgard, with whom they have gone to war numerous times over the millennia. The Giants are basically humanoid in appearance and color, although they tend toward the Neanderthalic in body and bone structure. Their most distinguishing feature is their height. The average Giant is twenty feet tall, although some reach up to thirty feet. On occasion, Giants will produce offspring who resemble the Asgardians in height. for example, Skurge, the original Executioner, was the son of a Giant. Giants can even interbreed with Asgardians. Odin himself, the monarch of Asgard, is the son of an Asgardian father, Borr, and a Giantess.The first of the Giants was the Ice Giant Ymir, one of the oldest living beings in the Nine Worlds. Many different races of Giants arose in Jotunheim, including the Frost Giants, Ice Giants, Mountain Giants, and Rime Giants. The Storm Giants, who dwell in the more temperate mountain regions of Jotunheim built Asgard for Odin.
