Ím  Ím (also Imr) is a jötunn in Norse mythology, and the son of Vafthrudnir. The Old Norse name "Ím" has been translated as 'dust' (compare with Norw. "īm" 'smell', Far. "īm" 'scoot [on a kettle]'; also Icel. "ima" 'heat', Swed. "imme" 'steam'). According to the stanza 5 of the poem "Vafthrudnismal" from the "Poetic Edda":  Ím is also mentioned in a list of giants in the "Skaldskaparmal" section of the "Prose Edda" by Snorri Sturluson.
