Loki (Norse mythology)

Loki is a complex figure in Norse mythology, often seen as a trickster and shape-shifter. He is a god associated with mischief, deception, and chaos, sometimes helping the gods and other times causing problems. Loki can change his form and tricks others for his own ends, embodying unpredictability. He's the son of giants, which makes his position among the gods somewhat ambiguous. His actions lead to significant events, including the death of the god Balder and the eventual prophesied destruction of the world during Ragnarok. Loki's character highlights themes of chaos, change, and the grey areas between good and evil.
