Thor is the Norse god of thunder, agriculture, and the sky. He is also known for his ability to protect both the humans and the gods through his various wars, battles and conquests against the enemies of Asgard. In most of the stories that feature him, he is pitted against a giant or against his nemesis, the Midgard Serpent - Jormungandr, a massive snake that coils around the world and also the sibling of the giant wolf Fenrir.

Like most of the Norse gods, Thor is destined to die at the end of the world at Ragnarok. However, instead of dying at the hands of the great serpent, he survives and becomes the new god of the gods. His sons, Modi and Magni, also survive and inherit his hammer, Mjolnir, which they use to restore order. The Norse god Thor became popular after being developed from the Germanic god Donar and was later regarded as the most powerful deity in the Norse pantheon.

Like most of the Norse and Germanic mythological characters, Thor is a great warrior who is regarded as an implacable enemy to the giants, but also a kind and gentle person who is focused on helping the humans. In Iceland, he is more popular than any other god. In some traditions, he is regarded as the father of the god Odin, but in others, he is simply a secondary deity.
