Eitri is a Hero Dwarf and the younger brother of Brokk in Age of Mythology. He and his brother show Arkantos the way into Midgard after having helped the dwarves reclaim their forge from giants. Later Eitri and Brokk reforge Thor's hammer, Mjollnir, which was destroyed by Loki, allowing Thor to seal the gate to Tartarus from which Kronos was trying to escape.
Eitri is a hero unit who possesses the same resource-gathering abilities as the dwarf unit. He can collect any resource, but is especially efficient at mining gold.
In Retold, he possesses the "Weapon Smithing" passive ability that increases all damage of units around him by 20%.
