Viking is a Viking. His dad was either not very creative when it came to naming him, or had a very specific plan for his life. In his story we meet evil giants, awesome mythological dwarf dads, and the only Viking ball game that doesn't turn deadly...during the ball game. It kind of does immediately afterward, though. The creature is Hogboy! It's a barrow-wight, and it's actually way more terrifying than it sounds. --- Membership: https://www.mythpodcast.com/membership Coddies: https://myths.link/coddies --- Sponsors: Audible: Enjoy and discover audio entertainment in one app. New members can try Audible free for 30 days at https://audible.com/legends or text the word legends to 500-500  Bombas: Layer with the very best and give to someone who needs it at the same time, with Bombas.

Slug, frog, snake, shoot! You've heard of rock, paper, scissors, but have you heard of slug, frog, snake? That old man you're trying to rob who lives in the mountains by himself has.
