Since "Asgard" means the home of the Æsir, "Asgardian" would mean "denizen of the home of the Æsir", which is an Æs. So there's no need for the word "Asgardian" to exist in the language. It's like saying "Germanian" for someone from Germany. [[User:Netzhack|Netzhack]] ([[User talk:Netzhack|talk]]) 12:23, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

"every time they make a move" - does that refer to movement actions only, or to any action of any type? --Testbutt (talk) 06:18, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

It refers to all actions that take a turn, maybe I should clarify that in the article. So it basically means that their speed (for all actions) is a bit lower on average. --Bluescreenofdeath (talk) 17:54, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
