Lore
Trolls are massive, ugly beings in Norse and Scandinavian folklore, dwelling in mountains, caves, or under bridges, often demanding tolls or stealing treasures and princesses. Sunlight turns them to stone, a common weakness. Later tales depict some as dim-witted giants, easily outwitted by clever humans. Trolls symbolize the dangers of the wild and the unknown, embodying chaos and brute force. They represent the boundary between human civilization and the untamed wilderness, serving as antagonists in stories of bravery and cunning in Nordic tradition.
