Balder the fierce, immortal, garden gnome viking, is my favorite character of going bovine by far. He is introduced right after Cameron (the main character) escapes from the hospital with his midget bro, Gonzo. Anyway Balder comes in the story after Cameron meets a girl outside of the motel he is staying at, and she ends up getting him really baked, and he ends up at a party. There he meets Balder in a rather interesting way. After wandering around the party he goes out onto the lawn and trips over a garden gnome, and after setting him up again talks to him. Cameron thinks its just because the weed he smoked must have been really good, but after they talk some more Balder emerges as a legitment talking garden gnome named Balder son of Odin, brother of Höðr, friend to all. His mission is to relieve himself of a curse set by Loki, the trickmaster, by finding his ship Ringhorn, but he can only achieve his goal with Cameron. Balder goes on many adventures with Cameron and the Gonz, showing off his immortality getting, but the appex of his awesomeness is tested when he is stolen by some people that hitchiked with some drunk partiers, and then after that his immortality is tested in the final battle.
