Sleipnir (pronounced "SLAYP-neer") is the eight-legged horse son of Loki and the horse Svadilfari. Hence, he is also the half-brother of Hel, Jormungand, Fenris Wolf, Alex Fierro and Samirah al-Abbas.

Odin uses the steed as his mount, so only he can summon Sleipnir as a result.

The Sword of Summer[]

Sleipnir is mentioned when Hearthstone summons one of his children to help him and his friends get to Geirrod's castle.

Trivia[]

  • Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, the most famous of all Santa’s helpers from a Christmas story of the same name, was inspired by Sleipnir.
    • Rudolph and his red nose was actually inspired by Sleipnir's habit of feasting on the entrails of Odin's enemies.
  • Sleipnir could be considered as the Norse counterpart of Arion.
    • Both are horses.
    • Both were born to a god/goddess who were disguised as a horse (Loki and Ceres).
    • Both are very fast horses, way faster then every normal vehicle.
