Fjalar and Galar

Giant Suttung and the dwarfs by Louis Huard. Suttungr put the dwarves on a rock about to be submerged, at which point they bargained for their life by offering him the mead of poetry.

In Nordic mythology, Fjalar (Old Norse: Fjalarr [ˈfjɑlɑrː]) and his brother Galar (Old Norse: Galarr [ˈɡɑlɑrː]), were wicked dwarfs who killed Kvasir and turned his blood into the mead of poetry, which inspired poets. They appear in Skáldskaparmál.
