Trolls

Did you know that trolls originally came from Scandinavian folklore?

"A troll is a fearsome member of a mythological anthropomorph race from Scandinavian folklore. Their role ranges from fiendish giants - similar to the ogres of English fairy tales - to a devious, more human-like folk of the wilderness, living underground in hills or mounds, inclined to thieving and the abduction of humans which, in the case of infant abductees, was substituted with a changeling. They could also be known as hill-folk or mound-folk. In Shetland ad Orkney tales, trolls are also called trowe."

I didnt know that

I knew that. what else is a troll? there the only type of trolls i've ever known. Then again i have an interest in Norse Mythology. I have a figurine of a troll skating in my room, he looks funny.

I always thought trolls were goat eating monsters living under a bridge

that is exactly what I was thinking!

There are some brillaint stories involving Trolls, like traditional ones from Norway. I used to love them.

remember the story of the three goats anf the troll?

I know they're reaaally made out to look horrendous, though.

Yeah, that one wasnt so good though. You have to hear the real ones that were told by the Norwiegians that have been passed down for generations.

My troll figurine looks like the top one, except i have a male one.

trolls are made of stone...
