#Trolls are depicted in the Norse myths as a ugly and low-witted beings. Large in shape, they have horrendous features such as oversized ears and noses. Trolls are generally found alone or in small family groups. They live in isolated areas such as the forest and mountain side. Trolls are malicious beings. Folktales from Norse mythology elaborate upon stories where humans caught in the snares of Trolls must outsmart them or suffer their fate. Sometimes Trolls are depicted to roam the landscape only during the night. During the day time, the rays of the sun will turn their flesh into stone. Areas such as the Troll Peaks in Norway are said to be such a place where the conversion into stone took place. Amulets such as the Troll Cross are said to offer protection against trolls. #Norse #mythology #myculture #Viking
