Mjölnir
Thor é conhecido como o Deus do Trovão e sua arma era um martelo de guerra mágico, chamado Mjolnir ou Mjölnir (em português: aquilo que esmaga; pronúncia: miêlnir) com uma enorme cabeça e um cabo curto e que nunca errava o alvo e sempre retornava às suas mãos. Ele usava luvas de ferro mágicas para segurar o cabo do martelo e o cinturão Megingjard que dobrava sua força. 20 de Maio é considerado dia do Mjolnir, desde calendários antigos, como o dia em que Thor recebe o poderoso martelo.
