Gullinkambi

Gullinkambi was a cock. Announcing Ragnarok, he crowed to the gods and the Einherjar to wake them for their last fight.

The cock who wakes the giants is called Fjalar. The name of the one who wakes Hel's people is nowhere mentioned.

Vithofnir, the cock mentioned in the Svipdagsmál and Salgofnir of the Helgaviða Hundingsbana II  are propably the same as Gullinkambi.

• Poetic Edda:
  - Völuspá
  - Svipdagsmál
  - Helgaviða Hundingsbana II

Old Norse: Gullinkambi
Meaning: "Gold-Comb"
