Habrok (Nordic)

A hawk owned by the legendary Danish king Hrolfr Kraki, as mentioned in Beowulf and other epic poems. Renowned for aspects such as his speed and ferocity, he is namechecked in the Gylfaginning of the Prose Edda as part of a list of the best things in the world. His name translates as “High Pants.” He is High Pants the Best Hawk.

Very little is known about the lifestyle or habitat of these creatures, though some speculate that they may dwell in mountain territories due to large footprints found in these areas. They are brown in color with yellow beaks and bronze-colored feet and talons. They were known to get easily distracted, with the attention of one hawk being driven away from its own eggs by both Hogun and a second illusion of a hawk set by Loki.
