Ragnas

Ragnas are a species of mythical creatures that originate from Norse mythology. They are described as giants of great strength and ferocity, with some sources suggesting they possess supernatural abilities. In Norse mythology, Ragnars are often associated with the midgard serpent, Jörmungandr, and are said to inhabit the wilderness regions of Scandinavia.

According to legend, Ragnars are a product of the ultimate battle between good and evil, Ragnarök. During this apocalyptic event, all life is destroyed, and the remaining Ragnars gather to fight the forces of chaos. The creatures' ferocity and strength are said to be driven by their desire to preserve what remains of the world. The term Ragnars may also be used to describe any of the giant clans associated with the midgard to several large powerful settlements that appear in old icelandic texts.

Some scholars suggest that the Ragnars are a reference to the Vikings' encounters with various indigenous groups while exploring and settling the regions of Northern Europe. These interactions likely had a significant impact on the European worldview and led to the integration of mythological themes into their historical traditions.

Ragnars are often attested in medieval texts, such as the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda. These works contain oral poetry and fragments of sayings which provide some insight into Norse cosmology, mythology, and societal behaviors of the time.
