Hod is briefly mentioned in the game, School of Dragons during Snoggletog 2021.
Mythology[]
Hod is the son of Odin and Frigg, and is blind. There is not much written about him, except the crucial role he played in the legend of Baldur, his full brother. Balder was impervious to any material, and the gods - including Baldur - thought it fun to try and injure him to no avail. The prankster god Loki was jealous, and found the one material that could injure him. While Hod stood aside while the other gods had fun shooting Balder, Loki spoke with Hod and encouraged him to join the game despite not being able to see. He handed him an arrow made of Mistletoe, and guided his aim. The arrow few true and killed Baldur, being the only material that could harm him. Despite accidentally killing his brother through trickery, Hod was nevertheless blamed for Baldur's death, and as all the gods and goddesses were overwhelmed with grief, Odin and the goddess Rindr conceived and birthed a son named Vali, who became an adult in one day and whose sole purpose was to avenger Baldur by killing the hapless Hod.
