Quote:Thor’s screaming goats are one of the highlights of Thor: Love and Thunder. They’re not just comic relief, their origins go back to Norse mythology.
In Norse Mythology
In mythology, the immortal goats’ names are Tanngrisnir (teeth barer or snarler) and Tanngnjóstr (tooth grinder). They pulled Thor’s war chariot and served as one of the god’s food sources.
Screaming Goats Comic Origins
They don’t get a real origin story until 2011 in Journey Into Mystery #623. As children, Loki decided to play a trick on his brother (as he does constantly) to make him look like a fool. This time he convinced Thor that in order to impress everyone in the Nine Realms he should have unique steeds. Loki introduced him to the magical Lords of the Goats – Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder.
