In
Norse mythology,
Gungnir was the name of
Odin's spear. The spear was built by a
dwarf named
Dvalin. It was obtained from the dwarves by
Loki as a partial reparation for the theft of
Sif's hair. In battle, it is a ceaseless slayer of the enemy, never misses its mark, and when thrown always returns to hand.
It is represented by the runic[?] symbol, Gar.
