| A troll is an unpredictable mythical creature from Norse mythology who embodies the forces of nature. In Sweden and Denmark in particular, the fairy tales mixed the idea of dwarfs and other forest, water or mountain spirits, sometimes also with that of humane fairies and elves. So `troll` became a general expression for every kind of more or less human-shaped mythical creature, similar to the fairies of the Anglo-Celtic tradition. Christianity demonized the trolls, whose existence was assumed in popular belief until the 19th century, but which one did not wish to encounter.
