The Giants- V

Hail!

It's time to move to the letter V. I get my info from Wikipedia.

V

Vafthrúdnir

 Vafþrúðnir (Old Norse "mighty weaver"^[1]) is a wise jötunn in Norse mythology. His name comes from Vaf, which means weave or entangle, and thrudnir, which means strong or mighty. Some interpret it to mean “mighty in riddles”.^[2] It may be anglicized Vafthruthnir or Vafthrudnir. In the Poetic Edda poem Vafþrúðnismál, Vafþrúðnir acts as (the disguised) Odin's host and opponent in a deadly battle of wits that results in Vafþrúðnir's defeat.

Vali

In Norse mythology, Váli was one of the unlucky sons of Loki. He is mentioned in the Gylfaginning section of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, chapter 50. After the death of Baldr, the Æsir chase down and capture Loki.

 Vanargand

Another name for Fenrir

 Vasad

Vosud or Vasad a Jotnar from Norse mythology ("Wet and Sleety") was the father of Vindsval and grandfather of winter.

Vidblindi

 Víðblindi or Viðblindi ("Very blind") is a giant in Norse mythology.
The skald Hallar-Steinn uses the kenning "Viðblindi's boar" (Viðblinda göltr) for whale in a stanza quoted by Snorri Sturluson in his Skáldskaparmál. Snorri explains it as follows:

Here the whale is called Boar of Viðblindi; this Viðblindi was a giant who drew whales out of the sea like fishes.

—Skáldskaparmál (XLVI), Brodeur's translation

A similar kenning for whale, "Víðblindi's pig" (Víðblinda svín), can be found in an anonymous stanza from the 13th century preserved in Laufás-Edda.^[1]
Rudolf Simek noted that the only giant known for fishing whales is Hymir,^[2] but he is never called Víðblindi / Viðblindi.^[3]
Víðblindi is also listed among the giants in the þulur.

Vörnir

Vörnir is a giant from Norse mythology. He is only extant in Nafnaþulur in the Prose Edda.
The name has been connected to the PIE root *ver- (from *verunyos?), meaning "to cover". Cognates in other Indo-European languages have been suggested, but remain uncertain. The Vedic Varuna, the Mitanni names aruna and urvana, Uranos, the sky god in Greek mythology, the Slavic god Veles, and velnias, the Lithuanian for "devil"
