The giant Hraesvelgr took the form of one of these creatures, as did another giant who ate a large portion of an ox, thereby angering Loki. That giant who occasionally took the shape of this animal caused the gods to age by kidnapping Idunn, and was named Thiassi. The hawk Vedrfolnir sits on one of these animals above Yggdrasil, and Heracles killed a vulture or one of these animals for eating Prometheus's liver.
