Volgarr the Viking is the protagonist of the eponymous platformer Volgar the Viking.
Bio[edit | edit source]
When raiders razed his original homeland, Volgarr alone survived and took a bloody toll upon the invaders; killing hundreds of them before he eventually succumbed to his wounds. His bravery so impressed the All-Father Odin that he raised Volgarr from the dead and set him upon an epic quest: To kill the rising dragon Fafnir before the latter could pose a threat to all of the realms.
Volgarr himself is a powerful warrior; eschewing heavy armor in favor of his enchanted sword, a shield, and a seemingly unlimited supply of throwing spears. All three are quite necessary, as the game's professed attempt to emulate oldschool console titles is less about lacking a proper save function, and more about turning bossfights into potential curbstomb battles - against you.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Volgarr the Viking solely appeared in the Christmas-on-Ice-themed 8chanmania IX. Lacking records mean nothing beyond him not winning a belt there is known.
