Gjallarhorn

"“This is Hulk Hogan’s belt in weaponized form.”"

- Tom Doyle, Art Lead

Gjallarhorn is an exotic rocket launcher featured in Destiny.

Trivia

 * In Norse mythology, the god Heimdall is the bearer of Gjallarhorn, "whose blast can be heard in all worlds". The Eddas depict him blowing into the horn to signal the beginning of Ragnarök".
 * In the E3 "Closed Doors Demo", when naming the rocket launcher, the Titan's player called the weapon "It Was Raised By Wolves" . It should be noted that there are no links between Gjallarhorn and wolves found in either the Poetic or Prose Eddas. However, Mowgli, the protagonist of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, was raised by wolves. In fact, the decision to add the wolves came from the designers' desire to "infuse this horn of destruction with a beastly spirit."
 * Bungie 3-D Modeller, Mark Van Haitsma, Gjallarhorn's designer, apparently added a wolf onto the weapon for each day he spent working on it. A total of 16 wolves thus far can be seen in in the various images of the weapon.
