- Jötnar who have firelike qualities/weapons and inhabit the flaming region of Muspelheim

Brief Bio

The Eldjötnar, or fire giants, are the inhabitants of Muspelheim, the realm of fire in Norse mythology, ruled by the fire giant Surtr. They are powerful beings who, along with their leader Surtr, play a significant role in Ragnarök, the prophesied end of the world, where they are destined to set Yggdrasil and the world on fire. 

The term "Eldjötnar" itself is a modern extrapolation combining "Eldr" (fire) and "Jötnar" (giants), though it accurately describes the fire-dwelling giants of Muspelheim.
