In Norse mythology, Gullinkambi is the rooster that crows in Valhalla at Ragnarök.
Gullinkambi’s crowing is described in the poem Völuspá as a signal associated with the final conflict. The name is usually translated as “Gold Comb,” referring to the bird’s striking crest. He is connected specifically with the gods and the warriors in Odin’s hall.
Gullinkambi is sometimes confused with Fjalar, another rooster mentioned in Ragnarök traditions. Fjalar crows among the giants, while Gullinkambi’s crowing is linked to Valhalla. A third bird, an unnamed rust-red rooster, is also mentioned in Völuspá in connection with the realm of the dead.
The rooster’s call is part of the sequence of omens announcing Ragnarök. It does not mean that Gullinkambi personally fights in the battle; his role is to signal its approach.
