=== Ögmundr Flóki ===
Oddr sought vengeance against Ögmundr Flóki ("Ogmund Tussock" or Ögmundr 'tuft';<ref name=lane-tussock/><ref name=tracy-tussock/> aka Ögmundr Eyþjófsbani{{sfnp|Fox|2020|p=175}} or "Eythjof's-killer"<ref name=edwards&palsson-tr-ch13-thord/>) for the murder of his blood-brother Þórðr stafnglamr (Thord Prow-Gleam).<ref name=edwards&palsson-tr-ch13-thord/> He and his crew headed toward a [[fjord]] in [[Helluland]] ("Slabland"), where Ögmundr was to be found, according to Oddr's half-giant son, Vignir. During their voyage, they encounter two huge sea-creatures that resembled islands:

{{quote|…said Vignir. "I'll tell you about it; these were two sea-monsters, one called [[Hafgufa|Sea-Reek]], and the other [[Lyngbakr|Heather-Back]]. The Sea-Reek is the biggest monster in the whole ocean. It swallows men and ships, and whales too, and anything else around. It stays underwater for days, then it puts up its mouth and nostrils, and when it does, it never stays on the surface for less than one tide.<ref>{{harvp|Boer|1888}}, p.[https://archive.org/details/rvaroddssaga00boergoog/page/n194 132]</ref><ref name=edwards&palsson-tr-ch21-hafgufa/>}}

There had been five men sent to disembark on what they thought was an island, but the Heather-Back (''lyngbakr'') plunged into sea, and those men perished.<ref name=kalinke/> However, the group had safely sailed through the jaws of the Sea-Reek (''hafgufa''), the other monster that Ögmundr had sent by magic to intercept the party.<ref name=edwards&palsson-tr-ch21-hafgufa/>
