or Himinbrioter, ('Sky Bellower') was the head of a gigantic black ox. The ox belonged to Hymir with whom Thor went fishing for Jormungand, the sea serpent. Thor had no trouble in breaking Himinrjot's neck, despite the animal's vast size, and used its head to bait his hook. Jormungand rose for this delicacy, but the head stuck in his throat. Thor would have landed the prize had not the sight of the serpent rising from the depths of the sea terrified Hymir. In the confusion that ensued Hymir was able to cut the great sea serpent free.
