Description
Na mitologia nórdica, Sleipnir é a montaria mágica de Odin. O lendário corcel de oito patas é o ser mais rápido entre os planos. O seu nome significa suave ou aquele que plana no ar.

In Norse mythology, Sleipnir (Old Norse "slippy" or "the slipper") is an eight-legged horse. Sleipnir is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In both sources, Sleipnir is Odin's steed, is the child of Loki and Svaðilfari, is described as the best of all horses, and is sometimes ridden to the location of Hel. The Prose Edda contains extended information regarding the circumstances of Sleipnir's birth, and details that he is gray in color.

In modern times, Sleipnir appears in Icelandic folklore as the creator of Ásbyrgi, in works of art, literature, and in the names of ships.
