In Norse mythology, the trickster god known for causing mischief and chaos among the other gods.
From Old Norse 'Loki,' of uncertain origin but possibly related to words meaning 'to lock' or 'to close,' reflecting his role as a boundary-crosser and rule-breaker. The name entered English through 19th-century scholarly translations of Norse texts.
Loki is one of mythology's most complex characters—he's both helper and destroyer, bound by the gods to a rock with a serpent dripping venom on his face, making him the only mythological figure whose punishment resembles a James Bond torture scene.
