Thor: Ragnarok - 10 WTF Comic Moments You Definitely Won't See

10. Toothgnasher And Toothgrinder

It's a situation I'm sure we can all relate to. You've got a long journey ahead of you, but you really don't feel like getting dragged there by your magic hammer. So what do you do? Why, fire up your goat chariot of course.

Taken from Norse mythology, Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder are the lords of goats. A pair of mythical beasts, they were famous for their inability to be tamed while the other ran free.

Egged on by Loki, a young Thor attempted to break them in. After numerous failures, he enlisted the help of the dwarves. They built him a magic harness that he used to snare both goats at once and so became their master.

The goats have popped up a few times in the comics, usually when Thor needs to transport more people than he can just scoop up in his arms. However, they've become much more important in recent stories. Having lost the use of Mjolnir, Thor (except also he's called Odinson now and someone else is Thor, it's all a bit confusing) can no longer fly and so he is completely reliant on his goats for flight.

An even weirder bit of the mythology that the comics seem to have left out is that Thor could eat his goats and then resurrect them with Mjolnir, but only if their bones remained unbroken.
