3	''LEGO Vikings'' is a Franchise/{{LEGO}} theme based upon [[HornyVikings the classic depiction of vikings]], released in 2005-2006. Rather than doing the usual pillaging and plundering, these vikings instead go hunting for treasure, bringing them in conflict with a variety of [[Myth/NorseMythology mythological Norse beasts]].

5	Compared to some of its contemporary LEGO themes, ''Vikings'' was [[ExcusePlot very light on plot]], with some of the only story provided in a short ''LEGO Brickmaster Magazine'' comic. Whenever the [[MysteriousMist magical mists]] envelop the vikings' land, they are attacked by monsters, leading them to seek the source of the mist and put an end to the monster attacks.

7	While ''LEGO Vikings'' was short-lived, LEGO would later produce more viking characters in the ''Toys/LEGOMinifigures'' and Creator lines.

10	!!This toy series contains examples of:
11
12	* BeardOfBarbarism: The majority of viking minifigures have beards on their face printing.
13	* ChromosomeCasting: All characters in the main sets are male. The only female vikings were included as queens in the chess set.
14	* ClipItsWings: In the ''Brickmaster'' comic, the Viking Catapult is used to shoot the Fafnir and Nidhogg dragons with sticky tar, preventing them from flying.
15	* CoolBoat: From the small Viking Boat to the impressive Viking Ship, the vikings know how to sail in style.
16	* CubCuesProtectiveParent: It's rather likely that the Fafnir Dragon is attacking the Viking Fortress because the vikings captured the baby Fafnir.
17	* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Real-world vikings were [[RapePillageAndBurn not the nicest people]], to say the least. Here, they only fight monsters and refer to themselves as heroes.
18	* HornsOfBarbarism: Every single viking wears a horned helmet.
19	* HornyVikings: The vikings in this series are based upon the stereotypical depiction of them, complete with [[HornsOfBarbarism horned helmets]], [[BeardOfBarbarism prominent beards]], and an affinity for {{Cool Boat}}s.
20	* MediumBlending: The ''LEGO Vikings'' theme mainly uses LEGO SYSTEM bricks and pieces, but the vikings' catapults incorporate a lot of TECHNIC pieces and the monsters use a fair share of ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'' elements.
21	* MysteriousMist: Little is known about the magical mists other than the fact that it's magical.
22	* OminousFog: The magical mists signal the impending arrival of monsters.
23	* OurDragonsAreDifferent: The Nidhogg, Fafnir, and Ofnir Dragons resemble classic fire-breathing western depictions of dragons. They are much larger and fiercer than the previous dragons from ''Toys/LEGOCastle''.
24	* OurWyvernsAreDifferent: The Wyvern is one of the smallest dragons encountered by the vikings, and is only really distinguished from the baby Fafnir by the lack of forelegs.
25	* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: When faced by the Nidhogg, Fafnir, and Fenris in a seemingly-impossible battle, one viking declares "We will face these monsters like Viking heroes!"
26	* TheRemake: In 2022, the Creator line basically remade the 2005 "Viking Ship Challenges the Midgard Serpent" set with "Viking Ship and the Midgard Serpent." Both sets featured a Viking ship squaring off against a sea serpent, with the major difference being that the original used a lot of unique special pieces to make both the ship and the monster, whereas both would be completely brick-built from the ground up in the newer version (including the sails).
27	* SadlyMythtaken: While the beasts are all named after creatures from Myth/NorseMythology (Fenris Wolf, Wyvern Dragon, Nidhogg Dragon, Midgard Serpent, Fafnir Dragon, and Ofnir Dragon), they are only loosely based upon said mythology.
28	* SavageWolves: Fenris is a giant black wolf that is challenged by a Viking Warrior.
29	* SeaSerpents: The Midgard Serpent is a giant sea serpent that attacks the Viking Ship.
