Im (giant)

In Norse mythology, Im or Imr is a giant and the son of Vafthrudnir. According to stanza 5 of the poem "Vafthrudnismal" from the "Poetic Edda":

:"Then Odin went to try the wisdom:of the all-wise giant [Vafthrudnir] ;:to the hall he came which Im's father owned;:Odin went inside.":::— Larrington trans.

Im is also mentioned in a list of giants in the "Skaldskaparmal" section of the "Prose Edda" by Snorri Sturluson.
