At long last, a new troll is looking for a new home :)
Thaaank you everyone for your support, here and wherever! <3Â
The NorrTroll are very old creatures.
They have been seen using runes and other symbols reminiscent of (perhaps predating) runes, which is one of the clues leading some researchers to believe they have been around since at least year 100 AD, others suspect they have been in existence longer than any human, although of course no one knows for sure.
These small troll creatures have only - at least that we know of today - been seen deep inside the forests of the Nordic countries (specifically northern Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden).
Someone that has seen a troll can consider themselves extremely lucky - they are quite sneaky despite their clumsy expression and seem to be able to go completely invisible.
They are known to build their lairs under the moss and tree roots. Their burrows can be quite deep with large rooms to fit several trolls, living in families. Most of the NorrTroll sleep through the cold winter and wake up again in the spring.
If they happen to wake up during the winter sleep, they probably get up to have a snack from their stash of dried blueberries.
The NorrTroll love blueberries and that is their main source of food, with their big noses they can easily sense where the nearest blueberry field is located. They also eat other berries if they must, as well as mushrooms, roots, spruce buds, lichen and all kinds of edible plants they find in the forest.
These little trolls can become very old, in fact some say up to 400 years old or even older.What to call them?
Note that there are different kinds of trolls in the world. Some are very large and some are strangely small. These trolls are of the latter variety, and can therefore be referred to as småtroll [small trolls].
Småtrollen can also be referred to as skogstroll [forest trolls] - those who live in the forest - and hustroll [house trolls] - those who secretly settle in peoples houses. And then there are also småtroll that are active through the winter and does not go into hibernation. You recognize them by their white winter coat and some call them snötroll [snow trolls].
The forest trolls are by far the most common type of småtroll. Depending on who you ask, these creatures can also be called "di sma under jårdi" [the small ones under ground], de dolda [the unseen], pysslingar, tussar, norðr-troll and so on.
Are you confused? No worries, researchers have agreed to an umbrella term for all types of småtroll and the new term that will hopefully stick is: NorrTroll.
