In Norse mythology, Tanngrisnir (one who has sparse teeth) and Tanngnjóstr (one who grinds his teeth) are a pair of magic goats which draw the flying chariot of the god Thor. Thor is able to eat the goats, and by placing the bones and skin together, is able to return them to life with the aid of his hammer Mjolnir the following day.
