A jotunn is a figure from Norse mythology, often referred to as a giant. These beings are typically associated with chaos and nature, standing in contrast to the gods of Asgard. Jotunns are known for their immense size and strength, and they often inhabit the wilderness, mountains, and other untamed areas. In the myths, jotunns frequently interact with the gods, sometimes as adversaries and other times as allies. They are part of the larger mythological narrative that includes figures like Odin, Thor, and Loki, contributing to the rich tapestry of stories that define Norse culture and beliefs.
