Heimskr is an ancient Giant who appears in the graphic novels, the animated series and the novelizations.
Appearance[]
Heimskr had a humanoid appearance with long legs and a long neck. He had only 1 eye, and for some unexplained reason some snow on top of his head.
Biography[]
Graphic novels[]
Heimskr appears in "Hilda and the Midnight Giant" in a two-page image depicting the giants of old. The description about him only mentions his one eye and that he had a chill head.
He plays no role in any of the stories as the giants left long ago.
Animated series[]
An image of him is seen in "Chapter 2: The Midnight Giant" in Wood Man's book "The Giants of Old".
In "Chapter 3: The Giantslayer", Hilda and Wood Man meet the ancient giants after traveling 3000 years into the past. Heimskr is seen attending a meeting with the other giants where they decide they have to leave the Earth. At the end of the episode, they follow up on this decision and leap off the planet into space.
Novelization[]
The events of "Chapter 3: The Giantslayer" are adapted into "Hilda and the Faratok Tree". While Heimskr is not mentioned by name in the text, he is seen on an image depicting 13 giants, and again on another image later in the book. He was among the 18 giants that attended the council held by Aldinn and Sigmund, where the giants decided to leave the Earth. When Halvor and his army attack the giants, they leap off the Earth one by one, Heimskr included.

Trivia[]
- Presumably, he was among the 18 giants that attended the council held by Aldinn and Sigmund, where the giants decided to leave the Earth. The book claims all 18 giants left, which, if Halldór was one of them, would contradict the information from the graphic novel.
