Loki is the archetypal trickster: shapeshifter, schemer, and catalyst of both help and harm among the gods. Born of giants but counted among the Aesir, he is as handsome and clever as he is unpredictable, using his ingenuity to stir conflict—or occasionally save the day. He fathers monstrous offspring like Fenrir, Jörmungandr, and Hel, whose roles are central to Ragnarök. Ultimately, Loki betrays the gods and leads the forces of chaos in the final battle, sealing his fate as a symbol of destructive change . Yet his complexity—an unsettling blend of wit, charm, and malice—makes him one of mythology’s most compelling and enduring figures.
