* TooDumbToLive: Nearly kills the heroine in 'the opening credits.' But leaves her alone after half-burying her in an avalanche, as he assumes that humans turn to stone in the sunlight. This is the first in a long string of Thrivaldi's plans failing due to his monumental inability to think anything through.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: That said, he does nearly kill both the heroine and Sigurd, the greatest warrior of Munargavir, near the beginning of the game. At the beginning of the PointOfNoReturn he [[spoiler: ambushes the heroine and would neatly have killed her then, if he hadn't forced a moment of BondVillainStupidity on himself]]

** ActionHero: The Warrior. Takes a very direct route to solving most of the game's problems, which often revolves finding whoever is causing the problem and then beating the tar out of them.

[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The heroine of the story.]] She arrives in Fornsigtuna at the beginning of the game, with no explanation given regarding where she has come from, and is immediately thrust into a plot to bring about [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Ragnarok]].


Added DiffLines:


Strongest of the trolls of Jarnvidr, which also makes him their leader, Thrivaldi has twice the heads of a normal person and half the smarts. Functions as TheDragon to Egther the jotunn, seeking to bring about Ragnarok so he eat all the human he wants and rule over the ruins.


Added DiffLines:


'''Ratatosk'''

The Doom Squirrel, who plans to gnaw through the roots of Yggdrasil, but is generally just an annoying nuisance. Turns up at several points to taunt the heroine.

* DoomyDoomsOfDoom: Seems to find it difficult to speak a sentence that doesn't involve the word "doom" in it somewhere. He explains that he just really loves the word. [[spoiler: it's possible to give him a change of heart by convincing him to change it to "bloom" instead.]]
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Tries hard to be just as evil as the main villains, and really is immortal, but lacks the intelligence and the size to do anything important. The heroine's reactions to him range from annoyance to pity to just thinking he's cute.
* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn: It's possible to convince him to do this when he reaches a low-point of despair about how terrible a villain he is. He decides to become the Bloom Squirrel instead.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Not much warning, mind.
* KillerRabbit: Averted. Attempts to set himself up as this, but he's really got no game. Arngrim does describe him the same was as the [[MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail trope namer]] though.

'''Egther'''

The last jotunn on Midgard, sealed inside his castle by humans a generation ago when he tried to destroy him, not out to start Ragnarok and bring about the end of the world.

* BigBad
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Hates the Aesir and the humans, and wants to wipe both out by bringing about Ragnarok and ruling over the frozen ashes.
* AnIcePerson: Standard for all jotunn, but Egther's powers are greater than the standard frost giants found in Jarnvidr; he is the cause of the unnaturally long winter that starts the plot.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Often feels this way towards Thrivaldi, [[TooDumbToLive which is entirely justified.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: While most of the world considers him a mighty and legitimate threat, [[spoiler: Loki]] thinks this about him, calling him a "fool among frost giants" and claiming he has no right to end the world.

'''No, Ms Blonde. I expect you to die.'''

* TheDragon: Most of the plot is caused by his actions, but he is taking orders from [[BigBad Egther]] the whole time.
