4->'''Kristoff:''' My troll family taught me the Lord loves a working man, and to not trust whitey.\
5'''Anna:''' Before I decide how I feel about that, I have to ask -- what kind of trolls are you?\
6'''Grand Pabbie:''' Well, since we’re reclusive, mystical and made out of rock, I want to say ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'', but because we’re also sickeningly sweet with an emphasis on family and friendship, I’ll have to go with "Big-Haired Doll".

14->'''Thomas''': In fairy tales, trolls wear clothes and talk like people -- they're just like people.\
15'''Hans''': Fairy tales are for kids. Trolls are animals. Predators. They eat, shit and mate. Eat anything they can.\
16'''Thomas''': How old can trolls get?\
17'''Hans''': 1000, 1200 years.\
18'''Thomas''': And their intelligence level?\
19'''Hans''': In the pits. They are not bright. They manage to eat. But how hard is it to survive on rocks? I once saw a troll try to eat its own tail. His head between his legs, he tried to suck down his own tail. He started gagging on it, tipped over, and rolled down a hill like a wheel.

23->So, when everything was ready, down came the Trolls. Some were great, and some were small; some had long tails, and some had no tails at all; some, too, had long, long noses; and they ate and drank, and tasted everything.

36->"Physically, they could be anywhere from two to fifteen feet tall, with almost any number and arrangement of heads and arms. One and two-headed trolls were the most common, but there were reports of up to a dozen. Some were gangly and spindle-limbed, and others had legs like tree trunks. The saying was that the gods made trolls out of leftovers."

39->'''TROLLS''' are said by some to be a silicon lifeform. They do certainly tend to turn to stone in daylight, however this might happen. They are huge knobbly beings, not very bright, who will attack Tours in moorlands and hilly places. They are also said to live under BRIDGES (when, on the [=PanCeltic=] TOUR, they are often called Kelpies). Formerly you needed only to keep them fighting until sunrise, but nowadays Trolls seem to have become desensitized to daylight and must be destroyed by MAGIC or just driven off, preferably by SWORDS. This is difficult, because they are hugely strong.

42->There was a troll waiting for me, under the bridge.\
43"I'm a troll," he said. Then he paused, and added, more or less as an afterthought, "Fol rol de ol rol."\
44He was huge: his head brushed the top of the brick arch. He was more or less translucent: I could see the bricks and trees behind him, dimmed but not lost. He was all my nightmares given flesh. He had huge strong teeth, and rending claws, and strong, hairy hands. His hair was long, like one of my sister's little plastic gonks, and his eyes bulged. He was naked, and his penis hung from the bush of gonk hair between his legs.\
45"I heard you, Jack," he whispered, in a voice like the wind. "I heard you trip-trapping over my bridge. And now I'm going to eat your life."

49->"Some scholars hypothesise that all life is inherently Chaotic, inherently tainted by that dark force. Whether this is true or nay I cannot say. It is clear to me however that all life has the potential to be so tainted, and that certain creatures are Chaotic by their very nature, such as Beastmen and Minotaurs. Trolls are not quite so marked by Chaos as are those creatures, though it is often said that their adaptability and variety are strong indicators of their truly Chaotic nature. That may be so, though if it is perhaps we Humans should also have cause for concern, for there are few creatures, Chaotic or not, quite so adaptable and various as Humankind. Whatever the truth, it is clear that many Trolls do fall under the sway of Chaos, bearing much the same Marks of Chaos as do the Chaos raiders of the North. These Chaos Trolls are no larger than their ordinary counterparts, but are frequently even uglier and more deformed, and universally more vicious and aggressive in their depredations."

53->The trolls of Midgard may be fading from your memory, as indeed they are from all the race of man. Few and forlorn, they crouch in damp caves and gnaw on the bones of the weak and foolhardy. The will of Odin has pushed them back into the dark places.\
54But in Valheim they have flourished. It has been centuries since any in Midgard saw the great trolls stamp flat the land and bring down the trees for joy. Look upon this great and noble sight, wanderers in a strange land! Then take to your heels and run...

62'''[[Myth/ClassicalMythology Hades:]]''' No! Trolls should be [[AlwaysChaoticEvil vile monsters]], [[TrollBridge living under bridges]] and [[Literature/ThreeBillyGoatsGruff harassing goats!]]\
63'''[[EasternZodiac Pig:]]''' You're both wrong! Trolls should be tiny wrinkled men with big poofy hair that are [[GottaCatchEmAll collected by old women!]]
