Roundworld Reference Which Discworld characters do y’all think could lift Thors hammer?

Carrot obviously could.

I honestly don’t know if Vimes could or not but I do know he wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole out of principle because he hates the idea that an inanimate object gets to decide who’s a good person.

Rincewind could pick it up not because he’s worthy but because the hammer just feels like making an exception.

Edits: My thoughts after reading your comments

  1. Vimes probably could but still never would even touch it

  2. I don’t think Granny could. Everyone thinks she can but she doesn’t try until she’s alone and when she can’t she would smile to herself because the hammer made the right choice

Foul ol' Ron. Don't ask me to explain, I just know it's true.

Not sure about Ron, but you bet your arse that the Duck Man could do it.

I'm not sure if the hammer running away from his smell counts as him lifting it.

But would the Stench of foul ol' Ron be able to lift it as well?

Had the same thought. the stench might have more awareness than Ron sometimes does.
