Homonym: trolls (Internet)
Trolls are mythical creatures found in Scandinavian folklore, often depicted as large, brutish beings that dwell in mountains or caves. They are known for their mischievous and sometimes malevolent behavior, often causing trouble for humans. In many tales, trolls are portrayed as dim-witted but possess great strength, making them formidable foes.
In modern culture, trolls have evolved into various representations, including the cute, colorful figures seen in toys and movies. However, the traditional image of trolls remains rooted in their folklore origins, where they are often associated with dark forests and hidden realms, embodying the fears and mysteries of nature.
