Magnar of Skagos

[King of Vaes Tolorro]

Is the Magnar of Skagos seen as a god on earth, as the Magnar of the Thenns is?

We know next to nothing about the Skagos. For all we know they worship unicorns. Hopefully more info will be revealed by Rickon, Osha, or Davos.

And I was hoping they rode unicorns into battle.

Ditto. Its my number three on creatures I want to see ridden into battle. Only behind Others on Ice Spiders and Braavosi on Velociraptors.

[Beautiful Bloody Sword]

No. It's only the name of a house, one of the very few we're given from Skagos.

[Bonkers]

Funny the comments about Unicorns, as one Wildlings gave over to the Watch a Unicorn head lol

[Falcon2908]

I am of the opinion that the unicorn of Skagos are actually some great wooly rhinos

I was under the impression that that beast was an exotical "one of" that doesn't breed there.
But yeah, it would be cool, I admit.
There are dragons in this world, nobody would get mad if a dinosaur-as-we-thought-them-in-the-90ies appeared again, and on battlefields, would they?

There are Dinosuars on Sothoryos

I think the Skagos unicorns look like this:

I think the Skagos unicorns look like this:

I agree. It fits in with the theme of the North (as real animals from the ice age), they'd look much less ridiculous than traditional unicorns.

 I'd imagine they'd look more like this though:

But isn't there a quote which says it looks like an enormous goat?

I'd expect it to be something like an enormous goat and the image Garlan posted.

No, Magnar is the name of their house. there is no "magnar" of Skagos as the word means Lord in the old tongue. They are not wildlings, they are "kneelers" who rebel on occasion. They are just isolated. My guess is Skagos is like the far northern Isles of Scotland. There isn't much produced  to export and the region is resource poor so there isn't much reason to go there for trade either. Cold, damp and isolated.

Well the pic garlan and neptunium posted does kinda look like an enormous goat

[GallowsKnight]

But isn't there a quote which says it looks like an enormous goat?

From a human seeing it from a Wolf's perspective. So might be distorted.

Add that i is a human that only knows the animals he saw in the stables of Winterfell, and never saw a documentary on exotical, different animals. One thing is having heard of an elephant, and a whole different thing is having seen one, even in a zoo.

There are Dinosuars on Sothoryos

And how many monthes of sail is that from Braavos?

[aryagonnakill#2]

Its not just Jon's dream, the worldbook says they are goats as well.  Since there is a unicorn goat in the real world which lives in Vietnam, it seems perfectly reasonable that a bigger version exists on Skagos.
