In Norse mythology, Thor, the god of thunder, is often associated with two goats named Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr. These goats pull Thor's chariot and are symbolic of strength and fertility. Additionally, Thor’s ability to resurrect them after they are slain for food highlights themes of sacrifice and renewal. Thus, the goat serves as a powerful representation of Thor's character and his connection to nature and the earth.

In Norse mythology, Thor's supernatural helper is often considered to be Loki, the trickster god. Despite their complicated relationship, Loki aids Thor in various adventures, including the retrieval of Thor's stolen hammer, Mjölnir. Additionally, Thor is supported by other figures, such as the giants and his faithful companion, the goat-drawn chariot. However, Loki remains the most prominent figure associated with helping Thor in his exploits.

In Norse mythology, Tanngrisnir (Old Norse "teeth-barer, snarler") and Tanngnjóstr (Old Norse "teeth grinder") are the goats that pull the god Thor's chariot. The goats are attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written by Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century.The Prose Edda relates that when Thor cooks the goats, their flesh provides sustenance for the god, and, after Thor resurrects them with his hammer, Mjöllnir, they are brought back to life the next day. According to the same source, Thor once stayed a night at the home of peasant farmers and shared with them his goat meal, yet one of their children, Þjálfi, sucks the marrow from a goat bone, resulting in the lameness of one of the goats upon resurrection. As a result, Thor maintains Þjálfi and his sister Röskva as his servants
In Norse mythology, Thor's weapons, Mjlnir and Jrngreipr, are significant symbols of his strength and protection. Mjlnir is a powerful hammer that can create thunder and lightning, while Jrngreipr are iron gloves that enhance Thor's grip and strength. These weapons help Thor in his battles against enemies and represent his role as a protector of both gods and humans.
