The Poetic and Prose Eddas say that Surtr of Muspelheim (the land of elemental fire) will lead a fiery army to destroy the Norse gods. As both Eddas are from Iceland, some scholars theorize that Surtr and his army were inspired by Iceland's destructive volcanoes.

St. Collen was a Welsh saint who was invited by the fairy king Gwyn ap Nudd to feast with him at his lovely fairy court on Glastonbury Tor. Collen revealed that he knew that the court's red colors derived from hellfire and the blue colors from death's chill. The court then vanished.

In Welsh folklore, the Witches of Caer Lloyw are "maiden hags" skilled in both witchcraft and warfare. They teach combat skills to the Arthurian knight Peredur (Sir Percival). However, when he discovers that they had tormented his relatives, Peredur takes revenge.

In Welsh folklore, the hero Pwyll trapped his fairy enemy Gwawl in a magic bag. Each of Pwyll's men asked what was in it; when Pwyll said "a badger," the man kicked the bag. Gwawl was freed only when he swore to leave Pwyll alone forever. Thus, the game "Badger in the Bag" was invented.
