Þjálfi and Röskva are brother and sister, children of an unnamed farmer who hosted Thor for the night. Both were given to Thor as servants after Þjálfi cracked the thighbone of one of the god's sacred goats.
Thor took Þjálfi and Röskva as his servants after Þjálfi cracked the bone of one of Thor's sacred goats. Þjálfi became Thor's swift-footed companion on his journeys, as told in the Prose Edda.
