Hyrrokkin

At Baldr 's funeral, Nanna collapsed in grief and died at his Pyre , thus joining her husband in Hel . Hringhorni , Baldr's ship, was the largest ship in the entire world, and that very ship was the one that Baldr was to receive a boat burial on. No one, however, could seem to launch the boat to see.

Hyrrokkin was called to help, and came from Jötunheimr . She arrived on a giant wolf with vipers as the reins. With her seismic strength, the giantess rolled the boat into the water. This caused the rollers to set on fire, which angered Thor . He was about to kill Hyrrokkin with his Mjöllnir , but the other gods insisted that he spare her.
