After recently watching The Ritual and making a review about it, I got a bit curious in finding out more about this monsters origin, so of course I did my research and this is what I have for y'all today
Alright so "Norse Mythology" is the body of myths of the North Germanic people stemming from Norse paganism and continuing after the Christianization of Scandinavia and into the Scandinavian folklore of the modern period. The northernmost extension of Germanic mythology, Norse mythology consists of tales of various deities, beings, and heroes derived from numerous sources from both before and after the pagan period, including medieval manuscripts, archaeological representations, and folk tradition.
As explained by the acolytes/woods people, the creature is an ancient god, one of the Jötunn. A pastoral spring of Loki. We do not speak its name." What is a Jötunn you ask?
A type of entity contrasted with gods and other figures, such as dwarfs and elves and trolls, and then kind of adjacent to the trolls are the Jötunn. Although the term giant is used to say the word jötunn, its realated word is also known as Jötnar.
They are not necessarily notably large and may be described as exceedingly beautiful or alarmingly grotesque, as we see in the film when its able to shapeshift. It is also known to ease their suffering by worshipping it
Their size can be tremendous (a prominent Jotunn being longer than the Earth) or just regular human sized. Jotunn are incredibly intelligent, physically powerful, and spiritually powerful. They were said to be able to destroy and topple mountains with their bare hands, flatten forests with a sneeze, and change the very shape of the land during brawls.
They were often enslaved by the Æsir for their vast knowledge. Jotunn are separated by their elemental type, as well as species type. There are Spirit Jotunn and there are Chaos Jotunn. Originally, there were only 4 primary Jotunn Elements; Mud, Fire, Frost, and Wood. The Elements were expanded based on the abilities shown by all Jotunn and generalized into one.

A Jötunn's Soul
The Jotunn Soul is what defines a Jotunn and is given by a King Jotunn. The J.S cannot be removed by others, only by a King Jotunn due to the King having the energetic keys to do so and bloodline.The J.S is made of Pure Elemental Energy and holds an infinite amount of Elemental Energy. It feeds it to the Jotunn, by doing so, the J.S begins to merge with the Jotunn and slowly turning them into an Element themselves. By giving Elemental Energy required to create the Element, the Jotunn loses energy at a slow pace. In a sense, the J.S gives the Jotunn ingredients for the food and the Jotunn themselves just make the food, mixing ingredients how they want it to be like. This saves energy for the Jotunn and allows them to create devastating techniques from their Element even as babies. There soul is formally created by a cloud.
There soul is not merely a soul. It is merely a little being that forms inside the Jotunn's core energy. It is guarded by its own eneries as well as the energies placed by the King Jotunn.
The Jotunn Soul has two real names: Ymir or Surtr. The name Ymir, or Ymir's Soul (Y.S), is given when the Jotunn has either pure Spirit Elements or the Jotunn mainly uses Spirit Elements. The name Surtr, or Surtr's Soul (S.S), is given when the Jotunn has purely Chaos Elements or uses the Chaos Elements more.
As the J.S slowly merges with the Jotunn, more and more of the Elemental Energy is given to the Jotunn until the Jotunn has infinite elemental energy to their respective Base Elements.
The Jotunn Soul is unique as it changes and evolves along with the Jotunn. As it can become way more destructive or way more wise! The Jotunn is able to manifest the power of the J.S and use it for their benefit.
If you remember the original Thor film in the Marvel universe, Odin wages war against the Frost Giants, who hail from Jotunheim. Loki is a frost giant hinself and had dozens upon dozens of kids. He is the spawn of creatures like giant wolves, giant serpents, and giant eight legged steeds, and of course the shapeshifting Jötunn's who have sought to be worshipped.
