Creatures from Norse mythology

It's an interesting idea. I'd like to see Helhest as a villain, although he may be a little too dark for MLP.

Also, trolls are already a part of the universe, if we take comics into account. It would be nice to see one in the show.

Well, Celestia and Luna themselves could've been inspired from Skinfaxi and Hrímfaxi of Nordic mythology. Skinfaxi drew Dagr's ((day's)) chariot and his mane lit up the world below while Hrímfaxi pulled Nótt's ((night's)) chariot and his mane dropped dew upon the world.

I don't recall the Kraken being introduced into FiM (unless it was mentioned the comics). I'd imagine it'd be pretty easy to stick one in a seafairing episode!

Part of it is that Greek & Roman mythology are more familiar, at least to children in the USA.  The only Norse ones I can think of  not already mentioned are The Fenris Wolf & The Midgard Serpent. Oh & the tree  Yggdrasil  (that connected various worlds).It would be mildly interesting if that turned out to be The Tree of Harmony

Norse gods like Odin, loki and thor could also be used Ancient alicorns of old too.

That being said, they've used a crapton of unknown mythological creatures in the show already, like Orthros and the cockatrice, so its possible they could use lesser known mythological creatures too (They've Used the name tatzlwurm and Bunyip too, but I use special emphasis on "name" for those since they're nothing like their counterparts :P)
