Who is Toothgnasher?

Toothgnasher is one of Thor's two mythical flying goats drawn from Norse legend, who pulls the God of Thunder's chariot across the skies. Alongside his companion Toothgrinder, he serves as Thor's divine steed in the Marvel Universe.

Few supporting players in the Marvel Universe carry as much mythic charm as Toothgnasher, the legendary goat who first thundered onto the page in Thor Annual #5 in 1976, brought to life by the Bronze Age dream team of Steve Englehart and John Buscema. A fixture of Thor's world across an remarkable fifty-year span, this creature has shared adventures alongside the God of Thunder himself, Loki, the boisterous Volstagg, and frequent companion Toothgrinder β€” turning up everywhere from the hallowed pages of Thor to The New Mutants and even the landmark Original Sin event. Fifteen catalog appearances may sound modest, but for a mythological beast rooted in genuine Norse legend, every one of them counts β€” and any collector who loves the cosmic, mythic heart of Marvel will want to seek them out.
