These mystical goats are based on Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr from Norse mythology, being the animals that pull Thor’s chariot.

FURRY FRIENDS IN
LOVE AND THUNDER
The presence of Thor’s pets should indicate that
Thor: Love and Thunder
will be just as, if not more, weird and wacky as its previous installment.
Thor: Ragnarok
leaned into many of the vibrant and bizarre concepts from the Thor mythos, so director Taika Waititi seems to be doing the same this time around.

With there only being one goat visible in this image, this could point to two possibilities. The pictured goat could be one of a pair like the comics, with the other animal companion somewhere else on set. Alternatively, perhaps Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder have been consolidated into one beast.
Whatever the case, a goat on set suggests that a chariot isn’t too far behind. It is unknown in what fashion Thor will come into possession of this vehicle, but it should make for an interesting set piece if anything.
How Thor’s mystical goats come into play will be revealed when
Thor: Love and Thunder
releases in theaters on May 6, 2022.
