==Characteristics==
Demigods are typically the offspring of a god and a mortal human, though the Norse pantheon of gods were known to mate with the jötunn and other species. The abilities and weakness of demigods varies depending on their origins.
==Episodes==
===[[2.15 Tall Tales]]===
Bobby explains that [[tricksters]] are demigods like [[Loki]] in Scandinavian lore and [[Anansi]] in West African lore among dozens of others.
===[[5.19 Hammer of the Gods]]===
[[Odin]] mentions that the end of the world will come when he is eaten by a "big wolf", referring to Fenris, a child of [[Loki]].
===[[8.16 Remember the Titans]]===
[[Oliver]] was conceived by the Greek Titan [[Prometheus]] and a human woman named [[Hayley]] -- the only survivor of a hiking group -- after an avalanche freed Prometheus from his imprisonment atop a mountain. Once off the mountain, the two were intimate with each other and conceived Oliver.
Prometheus passed on his [[curse]] to his son, forcing the young boy to die and be resurrected every day like his fatheronce he turned seven. The curse was lifted following the death of Prometheus, sacrificing his life to kill Zeus and spare his son of eternal suffering.
===[[9.12 Sharp Teeth]]===
The Myers family [[werewolf]] pack were members of an extremist faction of the [[Maw of Fenris]] -- werewolves who worship Fenris as a god who would bring about [[Ragnarök]] -- so that werewolves could inherit the earth. However, [[Reverend Jim Myers]] put an end to the werewolf cult, preaching coexistence rather than dominance.
===[[13.20 Unfinished Business]]===
===[[14.14 Ouroboros]]===
