Origin[]
Eikþyrnir or Eikthyrnir is a stag which stands upon Valhalla in Norse mythology. He eats from the Laeradd tree with his favorite chewing spot being on top of Odin's hall.
Its antlers can be used to purify water, melt ice, and snow. The water from his antlers drips into Hvergelmir, a major spring where all the water of the 36 rivers of the world originate.
