A term in English tradition for dragon-shaped manifestations of fire observed in the sky; used both as an Old English poetic word for dragon (fyrdraca) and, from the Renaissance onward, to describe luminous aerial phenomena such as meteors or ignis fatuus. Sources treat firedrakes variously as mythic dragons, atmospheric luminous vapors, or morally charged apparitions (e.g., the Devil in dragon form).
Fjalar (Old Norse: Fjalarr) is a named red rooster in the Poetic Edda (Völuspá) whose crowing is portrayed as heralding the onset of Ragnarök. The figure appears as a portentous, performative signal in the eschatological sequence, with no cultic rituals or protective practices attested in the supplied sources.
Fjalar and Galar are two named dwarf brothers in Old Norse myth who murdered the wise being Kvasir and transformed his blood into the mead of poetry; they also killed the jötunn Gilling and his wife, an act that led Suttungr to take possession of the mead. Their actions set in motion the canonical mythic sequence recorded in Skáldskaparmál/Prose Edda linking dwarfs, giants, gods, and the origin of poetic inspiration.
Fjölvar is a named supernatural companion attested once in the Poetic Edda poem Hárbardsljóð: Odin (in disguise as Hárbarð) says he spent five winters with Fjölvar on the isle Algrœn, where they fought, proved perils, and "indulged in love." Scholarly commentary infers a jötunn classification by analogy with the þulur name‑form Fjölvör, but the primary attestation is brief and gives no physical description or explicit powers.
Fjörgyn (feminine) and Fjörgynn (masculine) are Old Norse name-forms functioning as earth/land personifications and as genealogical names in Norse myth: Fjörgyn is attested as the mother of Thor and poetic synonym for 'earth', while Fjörgynn is named as the father of the goddess Frigg. Their attestations are brief and primarily poetic or genealogical, and scholars have proposed (but not definitively proven) that the two forms reflect related or complementary divine concepts.
A Scandinavian firedrake or "fly‑dragon" associated with evening streaks of light in the sky and with tunnelling mountain lairs that hide ore and treasure. Primarily attested in Swedish folklore, it participates in a pan‑European motif of fiery serpents and is sometimes linked with household or earth spirits in nearby traditions.
Fornjót is a jötunn in Norse genealogical-mythic material, presented as the father of personified elemental powers (Hlér/sea, Logi/fire, Kári/wind) and as an ancestral figure connected to the Yngling royal dynasty and mythic northern lands such as Finnland and Kvenland.

Forseti is an Old Norse/Germanic deity associated in medieval sources with justice, reconciliation, and the settling of disputes; he is presented in Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda as son of Baldr and Nanna and as lord of the hall Glitnir.

Freawaru is a legendary human royal woman in Old English and Scandinavian traditions, presented in Beowulf as the daughter of King Hroðgar and Queen Wealhþeow and married to Ingeld as a freoðuwebbe (peace-weaver) intended to settle a blood-feud. Scandinavian prose (Gesta Danorum) preserves a cognate episode in which an old warrior (Starkad) incites renewed vengeance, reversing the marriage's peacemaking purpose.
Freyja is a major Vanir goddess in Norse mythology associated with love, beauty, fertility, gold, war, and the seiðr form of magic.

A supernatural accompanying spirit in Old Norse tradition tied to a person's or family's fate and fortune.

Fárbauti is a jötunn named in Old Norse sources as the father of Loki.

The Grey wolf is both the biological species Canis lupus and a mythic/symbolic animal in several Eurasian traditions. In Turkic, Mongolian, and broader Altaic contexts it is described as a sacred animal and national symbol; in other Eurasian mythic corpora wolves also appear as powerful mythic figures (e.g., Norse Fenrir) though those are distinct literary entities.

A hag is a folkloric figure typically depicted as an old, wizened woman who appears across European traditions in multiple roles: a nightmare spirit, a witch-like or fairy-type being, a river or household monster, or (in some cases) a form adopted by sovereignty or storm goddesses. The figure functions variously as a cautionary monster, an explanation for sleep paralysis and nightmares, and a liminal test-figure in myth.
Hagbard (Old Norse Hagbarðr) is a legendary Scandinavian sea-king and heroic figure in Old Norse saga and skaldic tradition, best known for the tragic love-and-feud narrative with Signy that ends in his hanging.

In Norse mythology, Hamr is a manifestation of one's mental or spiritual essence that can take shape outside the body, enabling magical transformation and disguise. (Note: 1. Power tier: Downgrade to Lesser (local spirit) - Primordial implies cosmic or universal power, which doesn't match the description. 2. Origin story: Add "According to some interpretations" or rephr)
Healfdene (Old English) / Halfdan (Old Norse) is a legendary human king of the Scylding/Skjöldung lineage appearing in Old English and Old Norse sources.
