Gjallarhorn is an exotic rocket launcher featured in Destiny. ^[1]

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"^[2]. 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 light of this, it is likely that this is actually a nickname (in the same manner as "Shut Up And Get Behind Me"^[3] or "Better Than Yours"^[2], rather than the actual name of the weapon itself.
