History[]
Graphic novels[]
In "Hilda and the Midnight Giant", Björg appears in a 1-panel flashback, and on a two-page image depicting the giants of old.
According to his biography in the graphic novel, Björg was considered an outcast among the group and was quite fearful towards other giants. After the other Giants left, he supposedly created both trolls and the nisse. Nowadays, it is unknown if whether he could still be somewhere on Earth or if Björg eventually left the planet as did most other giants.
Animated series[]
Björg is briefly seen in "Chapter 2: The Midnight Giant on an image in Wood Man's book "The Giants of Old".

Trivia[]
- Since both Björg and Amma are stated to be the ancestors of all trolls, the two are likely related.
- Besides trolls, he is also the ancestor of the Nisse.
- Björg did not appear in "Chapter 3: The Giantslayer".
- In "Hilda and the Faratok Tree", after the Faratok tree sends her 3000 years into the past, Hilda meets the ancient giants. She attends their Grand Council meeting where 18 giants gather. It is left unclear if Björg is one of them as he is not depicted on any of the images nor called by name in the text.
