Legends are unclear as to whether Ymir's body died or he was killed by Woden, but all of creation was shaped by Woden into the Otan that is known today.
"Out of Ymir's flesh was fashioned the earth, And the mountains were made of his bones; The sky from the frost cold giant's skull, And the ocean out of his blood."
