Andhrimner
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
in Norse mythology, is the cook who prepares the boar in Walhalla for Einheriar. His cooking-vessel is called Eldhrimner, and is so large that all the gods can be plenteously supplied by it in one meal. The boar possesses the characteristic that every evening, after he has been devoured, he comes to life again from the remaining bones, so that on the following day he may be killed and eaten again.
