Is it spelled 'Bodvar' or 'Bothvar'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.185.162.88 (talk) 19:11, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Shapeshifter?[edit]

The primary source, the saga of Hrolf Kraki, does not mention or hint at shapeshifting. What it says is that Böðvar chooses to sleep during a fight, while a bear fights outside, only to disappear once he wakes up. It also tells of a belief in drinking bears blood, to gain strenght.

The sources in the article are not credible. Anno85 (talk) 08:37, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
