In Norse Mythology, Baldr was killed by Loki with a magical spear made from what plant?

Quiz Options

• Mistletoe
• Wolf's Bane
• Hemlock
• Buckthorn

Explanation & Context

Mistletoe was the only living thing that did not swear an oath to refrain from harming Baldr, as his mother Frigg deemed it too young and small to be a threat. Loki exploited this oversight by fashioning a projectile from the plant and tricking the blind god Höðr into throwing it at his brother.
