God of War Fan Makes Adorable Kratos Doll, Complete With Tiny Leviathan Axe

A God of War fan created an adorable Kratos doll, complete with a tiny Leviathan axe. Kratos is known as a fierce and violent character, but players were able to see his gentler side as a father to Atreus in 2018's God of War and 2022's God of War Ragnarok, with this doll making the Ghost of Sparta look even softer.

God of War's Norse Era follows Kratos and Atreus' journey across the nine realms to battle many gods, like Thor and Odin, as well as powerful mythical creatures. Throughout their journey, players get to see the father-son duo's relationship grow as they face challenges and learn how to work together in combat. They also traverse the nine realms with their reliable weapons, like Kratos' Leviathan Axe and Atreus' Talon Bow.

Gamers' love for the God of War franchise is undeniable, with many of them creating artworks inspired by Kratos and Atreus, and even their iconic weapons. For example, Reddit user vevizir recently shared a small handmade Kratos doll that they crocheted, complete with his recognizable beard and tattoos, and even a tiny Leviathan Axe.

The Leviathan Axe is Kratos' primary weapon in God of War, which replaced the Blades of Chaos. The axe can also be thrown at enemies, and is able to return to Kratos on its own.

In the comments, many God of War fans praised the craft skills that went into the small Kratos doll. The artist also teased plans to create a version of Kratos wearing his bear cloak and a small Atreus doll in the future. Previously, another God of War fan knitted Mjolnir, which is the powerful hammer that Thor wields in the God of War games.

After God of War's Norse Era, many people have been theorizing that the franchise will tackle other mythologies in the next game, like Egyptian and Japanese. But following the conclusion of God of War Ragnarok's Valhalla DLC, it's possible that Kratos might finally retire and hang up his Leviathan Axe, which might mean that Atreus will take the lead. Longtime fans of the franchise might feel sad if
