/ˈaʊduːmlɑː/

audhumla is a primeval being:

she came into existence by the fusion of muspelheim and niflheim.

her milk fed ymir and their giant offspring.

audhumla survived on salt and ice for three days, uncovering buri, father or bor.

audhumla has been translated to "hornless cow, rich with milk" yet almost every painted depiction shows her with horns.

audhumla is ambiguous, neither good nor bad.

she embodies an aura of nurture and prosperity, but there is also the potential of great destruction.

some believe her name to be translated as "destroyer of deserts" as well.
