Where we come from, hunting is hard. The prey there has psychic defenses (which we honed for them!). But here, here, the prey willingly offer themselves up.

One blood sack, served fresh. Instinct: To incapacitate and devour

Baldr is the son of Odin and Frigg. His mother once asked any living being to not harm Balder in any way. They all obliged, except for mistletoe. "What harm could a mistletoe do?" Frigg thought as Loki, in disguise, had kept the plant away from her so it could not make the same promise as the others. In time, Balder realized that he was pure perfection, his body and his beauty were unparalleled. He came to look down on everything that was imperfect, most of all the humans in Midgard. Unlike the inhabitants of the other realms, they were masters of none. Even the frost giants knew how to fight with perfection. Baldr came to despise midgard and his hatred grew ever greater...
