Trolls are usually described as very large and ugly. Most of the time, it is said that they are extremely old, very strong, yet very stupid. Most trolls live in isolated mountains, rocks and caves and sometimes live together, but usually fend for themselves. Myths say that these creatures were once man-eaters and that they turn to stone upon contact with sunlight. They have always been looked at in a negative light since old Scandinavian folklore (Wikipedia). Trolls are found in a lot of different films, books, etc. In literature, trollsare found in the book Middle-earth by J. R. R. Tolkien’s, in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, in the amazing book of Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone and Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix by J. K. Rowling, in the Shannara series by Terry Brooks, and in the Artemis Fowl series. In movies and TV, trolls star in Troll, Troll 2, and Troll 3, Trollz, an animated show based on the Troll doll, and The Troll Hunter. You are most likely to see trolls in games also such as Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer, Warcraft, and Trollbloods. Trolls are also known as the troll dolls that were big in the toy industry in the 20th century.
