Derived from Old Norse leug denotation - "to break".
In Norse mythology, Loki or Loptr is a God or jötunn (or both).
Loki's relation with the gods varies by source. Loki sometimes assists the gods and sometimes causes problems for them. Loki is a shape shifter and in separate incidents he appears in the form of a salmon, mare, seal, a fly, and possibly an elderly woman. Loki's positive relations with the gods end with his role in engineering the death of the God Baldr. Loki is eventually bound by the gods with the entrails of one of his sons.
