Grundroth was a Frost Giant, a member of Laufey's army. He fights with Thor when he arrives along with Loki, Sif and the Warriors Three to invade Jotunheim, where he fights Hogun with twin Ice Daggers. He was later one of the Frost Giants that was brought to Asgard, by Loki, along with his king, Laufey, to assassinate Odin. He is one of the Giants assigned to gaurd the Bifrost Bridge and an incapacitated Heimdall, who was earlier frozen by Loki using his Frost Giant powers. However Heimdall was eventually able to break free of his icy prison and decapitates Grundroth, just as he was about to strike.
