Frost Giants are large, humanoid beings who hail from the land of Jotunheim, which is one of the Nine Realms of Asgard. They are descended from the ancient creature Ymir and are led by Utgard-Loki. The average adult Frost Giant stands between twenty to thirty feet tall. Frost Giants possess magic to some extent and have the ability to generate illusions. They can also affect the weather, decreasing the temperature in a surrounding area to a frigid degree. As their names suggest, Frost Giants are quite comfortable with cold climates, and can thrive in environments that would otherwise be deadly to lesser mortals. Another Frost Giant leader of note is Laufey, who was the father of Loki. When Loki was but an infant, Laufey once battled Odin - the King of Asgard, but was destroyed when Odin smashed his skull with Laufey's own war-club.
