The
Úlfhéðnar (singular Úlfhéðinn), mentioned in the
Vatnsdœla saga,
Haraldskvæði and the
Völsunga saga, were said to wear the pelt of a wolf when they entered battle.
[1] Úlfhéðnar are sometimes described as
Odin's special warriors, with the pelt from a wolf and a
spear as distinguishing features.
