TROLLS - Trolls are mythical creatures from Norse mythology. They are ugly giants who eat meat (including humans) so they were enemies of humans and Gods.

In some legends trolls were kind of elves long time ago but they got cursed, turned into these ugly creatures and were banished from elves realms. Also it was said that trolls can only move in night, caves, shadows or underground because if only one Sun beam touches them they get turned into stone.
