==Skull==
For years, my father, a Danish emigrant to Canada, used to lift his glass to have a drink, and his one word toast was "Skoll".

He used to tell us that skoll stood for skull and was in reference to the Vikings of old brashly drinking their liquor from the skull of a dead man.

Is there any truth to this?>

Warmest personal regards,

:My grandfather (Farfar) used tell us the same story about the origin of "skoll." He emigrated from Bornholm (an island that's actually closer to Sweden than Denmark) to the U.S. in 1926, eventually ending up in California.

::The salute ''Skål'' (''cheers'') - when you raise your glass - has nothing to do with this wolf named ''Sköll''. It has none the less roots in other ancient norse [[blót#Rites and beliefs|ritauls]]. --[[User:Ktp72|Ktp72]] ([[User talk:Ktp72|talk]]) 09:00, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

== Skoll Beer ==

Skoll Beer is (surprisingly) a beer company. They seem to still be around, but the only thing I remember of them is some advertising cardboard beermats of sorts my dad had when I was a kid. They were cutouts of some characters from the comic strip [[Hagar the Horrible]]. I ''think'' he may have picked them up when we were in england in '87. Would it be relevant to add info about the company to the article?--[[User:DooMDrat|DooMDrat]] 00:47, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)

==Surename?==
Should it be assumed that Sköll's surename is Hróðvitnisson like his brother Hati's is

== Skoll and hati ==

Wrong !!! Skoll is not another name for Fenrir. skoll and hati are the sons of Fenrir. [[Special:Contributions/67.172.226.236|67.172.226.236]] ([[User talk:67.172.226.236|talk]]) 22:28, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
