Kárr the Old

Más néven: Kárr inn gamli, Kar the Old

Kárr the Old is the barrow-dweller the young Grettir robs during his first voyage to Norway. He is a textbook haugbúi: he does not roam, but when the mound is broken open he grapples with the intruder until Grettir throws him and strikes off his head. The scene set the pattern for the 'hero versus tomb guardian' fight that fantasy fiction and games still reuse.123
