The in-continuity explanation is that Slepnir can alter his form at will, including his number of legs, though it's never mentioned in the episode itself. Slepnir was originally going to have eight legs in his appearance on Gargoyles, but it was determined that animating an eight legged horse would be too difficult for the overseas animation studio. However, Svaldifari managed to catch up with him, and Loki later on gave birth to Sleipnir. Loki did just that by shape-shifting into a mare and luring Svaldifari away from the building-site, thus preventing the giant from completing the wall by the deadline. Loki, in the shape of a mare, was impregnated by Svaoilfair and later gave birth to Sleipnir. He is the child of Loki and Svaoilfari, a giant stallion who was employed in building a fortification for the gods. The gods, alarmed at this development, blamed Loki for this state of affairs, and ordered him to do something about the problem. Sleipnir’s lineage explains his freakish form and incredible power. Baptized as Sleipnir, it was given as a present by Loki to Odin. What he and the other gods had not reckoned with was that the giant had a powerful work-horse, a stallion named Svaldifari, who hauled massive rocks for the wall to the building site, allowing the giant to build the wall with amazing swiftness. Nordic mythology has the creation of Sleipnir, one of the strangest horses that have. Odin disliked the demanded price, but, after Loki the trickster-god convinced him that the giant could not possibly complete the wall in that amount of time, agreed to it. A frost giant offered to build a mighty stone wall around Asgard, on the condition that, if he completed it before the end of winter, Odin give him in payment the sun and moon, and also Freya, the Norse goddess of love and beauty, for his wife. According to the myths, he was born in this wise. According to this theory, Sleipnir is a personification, of a sort, of a coffin, which is carried by four pallbearers, and thus can be viewed as having eight legs). In both sources, Sleipnir is Odins steed, is the child of Loki and Svailfari, is described as the best of all horses, and is sometimes ridden to the location. (Some scholars of Norse mythology believe that this feature of his was thanks to Odin's status as a death-god. Sleipnir was Odin's horse in Norse mythology, and was particularly noted for having eight legs, although he is described in the legends as grey rather than black. Sleipnir was born when the god Loki shape-shifted into a mare and became pregnant. What you should know, however, is that, unlike his siblings, Loki is his mother and not. Note: This character does not speak, therefore he does not have any lines. In Norse mythology, Sleipnir is an eight-legged horse ridden by Odin. When it comes to Sleipnirs, weve mentioned that he is Lokis child. Sleipnir can change the number of his legs at will and sometimes has eight legs, although he did not take this form in his encounter with the Avalon World Tour travellers. The horse was recognized as an exceptionally powerful one, so Loki decided to. He looks like a magnificent black horse with a starry hide, and wears medieval-style barding. In this way, Loki saved Asgard from potential harm and gave birth to Sleipnir.
