Scandinavian folklore introduces two kinds of Trolls: the giants (often called jontar) and the little folk (often called huldrefolk) Trolls date back all the way to ancient Norse and Viking culture, appearing in the oldest definitive text on Norse culture, the Prose Edda.

Still the evolution of the Troll, as a recognizable species, is confusing. Originally, the word trolleri was used to describe all sorts of creatures who drew their magic from nature and used it to mess with humans. It took hundreds of years for that name to narrow down to the creatures we recognize as Trolls today. Indeed, the sharp divide between the two types of Trolls we recognize today (one gigantic and aggressive, the other small, cute, and mischievous) is evidence of the past diversity of these creatures.

In Norse mythology, troll, like thurs, is a term applied to jötnar and is mentioned throughout the Old Norse corpus. In Old Norse sources, trolls are said to dwell in isolated mountains, rocks, and caves, sometimes live together and are rarely described as helpful or friendly.

Later in Scandinavian folklore, trolls become defined as a particular type of being. Numerous tales are recorded about trolls in which they are frequently described as being extremely old, very strong, but slow and dim-witted, and are at times described as man-eaters and as turning to stone upon contact with sunlight
