  Gullinbursti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gullinbursti (meaning "Golden Mane") is a boar in Norse mythology.
When Loki had Sif's hair, Freyr's ship Skíðblaðnir and Odin's spear Gungnir done by the sons of Ivaldi, he bet his own head with Brokk that his brother Eitri wouldn't have been able to make items worth as much as the ones above.
So to make gifts to Freyr, Eitri threw a pig's skin into a furnace as Brokk worked on the bellows, and together they manufactured two non-living machine boars, one of which is Gullinbursti which had bristles in its mane that glowed in the dark.
