Trolls Trolls Trolls.


Trolls are found everywhere in Norway–as statues in front of camp grounds or stores or small souvenirs. Trolls are the official mascot of Norway.



They were first discovered when 'nordmenn' (translated to Men of the North) settled in Norway and found that these creatures possess supernatural powers.



Some are giant, some are small. They are all notably ugly, have long crooked noses and long bushy tails. These creatures only come out after sundown and before sunrise because the sun will cause them to crack, turn into stone or burst. It's said that a good relationship with the trolls can be rewarding, but a bad relationship can be disastrous.
