Huginn and Muninn are known as the Beholders, Eyes of Odin. Able to transform into crows, Huginn and Muninn are influencing events in Midgard. Their true motives are a mystery. However, Muninn (shorter woman) seems to have a more sadistic side than the silent Huginn (taller woman), who displays occasional compassion, such as when she kills a monster about to devour a child.

- Huginn and Muninn are a pair of giant ravens controlled telepathically by Odin. They were created for him as a gift by Hekate. They are immortal and capable of human speech. They become trapped in a shadowrealm, where they will presumably remain until the end of time.
- In the Poetic Edda, a disguised Odin expresses that he fears that they may not return from their daily flights. The Prose Edda explains that Odin is referred to as "raven-god" due to his association with Huginn and Muninn. In the Prose Edda and the Third Grammatical Treatise, the two ravens are described as perching on Odin's shoulders. Heimskringla details that Odin gave Huginn and Muninn the ability to speak.

| - Huginn and Muninn are known as the Beholders, Eyes of Odin. Able to transform into crows, Huginn and Muninn are influencing events in Midgard. Their true motives are a mystery. However, Muninn (shorter woman) seems to have a more sadistic side than the silent Huginn (taller woman), who displays occasional compassion, such as when she kills a monster about to devour a child.
- Huginn and Muninn are raven avatars granted to the bearer of the Knowledge Rune. They are magic creatures that are able to fly swiftly and silently. In addition, they can transform into much larger versions, capable of being mounted by up to two human-sized individuals. The ravens were of personal importance to Asmodan Numitari. He used them to keep himself informed on the events occuring on Borendil since the Elves' extinction. Later, they were used as utilities for his duties as leader of the Order of Lost Histories, where they kept track of the progress of the various mercenaries hired by the Order.
- In the Poetic Edda, a disguised Odin expresses that he fears that they may not return from their daily flights. The Prose Edda explains that Odin is referred to as "raven-god" due to his association with Huginn and Muninn. In the Prose Edda and the Third Grammatical Treatise, the two ravens are described as perching on Odin's shoulders. Heimskringla details that Odin gave Huginn and Muninn the ability to speak. Migration Period golden bracteates, Vendel era helmet plates, a pair of identical Germanic Iron Age bird-shaped brooches, Viking Age objects depicting a moustached man wearing a helmet, and a portion of the 10th or 11th century Thorwald's Cross may depict Odin with one of the ravens. Huginn and Muninn's role as Odin's messengers has been linked to shamanic practices, the Norse raven banner, general raven symbolism among the Germanic peoples, and the Norse concepts of the fylgja and the hamingja.
