Trollis

Trollis is a fictional creature found in Scandinavian folklore. Often depicted as a grotesque, brutish being, trolls are typically associated with mountains, forests, and caves. Their physical appearance varies, but they are commonly described as having large noses, long arms, and coarse hair. Some tales portray them as having multiple heads or tails, while others emphasize their immense strength and size.

Trolls are generally considered to be solitary and territorial, often hostile towards humans. They are known for their mischievous or malevolent nature, sometimes stealing livestock, kidnapping children, or luring travelers astray. However, not all troll depictions are negative; some stories present them as simple, dim-witted giants who are easily outsmarted by humans.

In folklore, trolls possess a peculiar vulnerability to sunlight, which is said to turn them to stone. This characteristic is frequently used as a plot device to defeat them. They are also sometimes depicted as having a fondness for gold or treasure, which they hoard in their subterranean dwellings. The concept of trolls has endured through centuries, influencing various forms of modern media, including literature, film, and video games, where they continue to be represented with diverse attributes and roles.
