We hear about Hel, Fenrisulfr, and Jormungandr but Loki had a lot of others kids, maybe. His other named kids are Nari, Narfi, and Vali.

Narfi/Narvi is Loki’s son by Sigyn. In Galfaginning, Narfi killed by his brother Vali, in the form of a wolf. His internal organs were used to bind Loki. In Lokasenna, Vali isn’t mentioned and it’s Narfi changed into a wolf and his brother, Narfi is killed. Hel is mentioned as the “sister of the wolf and Narfi”. His name may mean “narrow” or may come from Old Norse Nár, meaning “corpse”. Narfi is also a personal name and the name of the father of Nott, personification of the night.

Nari may be Narfi or a different brother. In one version of the binding of Loki he’s killed by Narfi. As mentioned in Lokasenna.

🐺Váli (Loki’s son is one of 3, the others being Odin’s brother and one of his sons) was turned into a wolf by the gods and forced to murder Narfi. Or maybe This Váli is the same as the son of Odin continuing his avenging on those involved in Baldrs murder.

Some people believe the brothers are twins, I don’t personally think so.

There’s not, as far as I know, archeological evidence of any of the boys or their worship. If anyone has any UPG, feel free to share.
