“Also known as "Trold" or "Trolld", it is a demon in Scandinavian mythology. Trolls are large, strong, hairy creatures that only appear at night when hunting for humans to eat.

A troll is a class of being in Norse mythology and Scandinavian folklore. In Old Norse sources, beings described as trolls dwell in isolated rocks, mountains, or caves, live together in small family units, and are rarely helpful to human beings. In many stories and games, they are portrayed as cruel, loathsome creatures that seem to have no joy other than making humans suffer.

Later, in Scandinavian folklore, trolls became beings in their own right, where they live far from human habitation, are not Christianized, and are considered dangerous to human beings. Depending on the source, their appearance varies greatly; trolls may be ugly and slow-witted, or look and behave exactly like human beings, with no particularly grotesque characteristic about them.

Trolls are sometimes associated with particular landmarks, which at times may be explained as formed from a troll exposed to sunlight. Trolls are depicted in a variety of media in modern popular culture.

In online media, a troll is a person who makes a deliberately offensive or provocative online post, or is a deliberately offensive or provocative online posting. To troll also means to make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them.”
