The jötnar (巨人（ヨトゥン）, Kyojin (Yotun); literally "Giant") are a race of giants that appear following the Great Roar of the Astral World.

Personality

The jötnar are ravenous and antagonistic toward humanity, killing and eating humans as well as taking their goods as war equipment. They are known to be a warrior race.

Abilities

Unlike other astral creatures, the jötnar have demonstrated a certain degree of intelligence similar to humans. Their leader seems to keep several trolls as pets of sorts. They can organize to fight battles against humanity and apostles, using a captive hydra in combat.

Story

Jötnar marching against the Band of the Falcon.

After the establishment of Falconia, Griffith and the Band of the Falcon engaged with the jötnar in a battle. Griffith is able to defeat their leader by piercing the jötunn in one of its eyes. Afterward, Griffith orders Sonia to telepathically send the image of the corpse across the battlefield in order to instill fear in the remaining jötnar forces. This is followed by a "cleanup operation" in which the band members slaughter the remaining jötnar.

Notes

• Despite their depiction in Berserk, jötnar were not necessarily giants in Norse mythology.
