Mythical Creatures Lore - What is the Troll?

[@enriqueramirez0615]

In the 2010 film "TROLLHUNTER" there are only four types of Trolls included the "Tusseladd Troll", the "Ringlefant Troll", the "Dovregubben Troll" and the "Jötunn Trolls".

[@Daimon-X]

Trollolo XD "One day, I ride up and what do I see? A bridge. And under that bridge sits a troll and demands every passerby pays him. Those who refuse have a leg injured, sometimes both. So I go to the alderman: 'How much will you give me for that troll?' He's amazed. 'What are you talking about?' he asks, 'Who will repair the bridge if the troll's not there? He repairs it regularly with the sweat of his brow, solid work, first rate. It's cheaper to pay his toll.'" - Geralt of Rivia, on finding lack of work over time. "The Last Wish"

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

This was also in the second game, If I remember correctly.

[@grizzlyblackpowder1960]

Some of the larger trolls included in Old norse and early Christian myths were wild like an animal but in possession of a kind of low cunning and often forms of magic like, like being able to change shape. Some got together and threw large stones at Christian churches as a kind of game.

[@FablesAisothops]

There's four types of people when it comes to recognizing trolls 1. Trolls the movie 2. Internet trolls 3. Folk trolls 4. Homestuck trolls

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Second one is the worst.

[@IAmTerrestrial]

5. Trolhunter: tales of arcadia trolls

[@Matt-md5yt]

I am glad you covered this one. the 3 Billies is my favorite tale related to Trolls

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

This narrative was both informative and entertaining. I enjoy learning about Troll folklore, as well as sculpting them. Thank you❣️

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Ben_of_Langley]

Wow GDN I'm half way through this video and it's really interesting to be honest I knew little bits about trolls but didn't know that much so this was really good as I've learnt a lot from this video. As always grim another great video and once again thanks for the upload

[@Ben_of_Langley]

And yes definitely grim these trolls are faw more intelligent than your average Internet troll lol very good my friend very good indeed lol

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Thanks for watching :)

[@limex4671]

I love this dude's narration

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Much appreciated.

My grandfather saw a troll in 1980s in Cloverdale Indiana. The one he saw hung down from a tree with a long nose and pointy ears and bad breath it smiled at him also got right up in his face as he was trying to piss behind a tree. My grandmother said it took him several hours to calm down before he told her what happen. He served in Vietnam not much scared him.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Thanks for sharing.

[@Michael-uy1jn]

I saw a troll right now. Oh, I mean I read one. Tnx.

[@hab0272]

Thanks for making this video. It had me inspired to sketch some trolls.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

I'm glad it motivated you :)

[@paddymcpimpin5872]

I used this video to rp in a Roblox medieval game thank you for this

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

You're welcome.

[@JeffersonMills]

This was exactly the information I was looking for on the folkloric origins of trolls. Very well done!

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Glad to be of use.

[@gregdomenico1891]

Great and informative as always, Grim. Learned a lot, but you took all of the fun out of it by not letting us mess with those who live in their parents basement and have nothing better to do then mess with people on the computer.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

You are free to make choices :D

[@zacharybyrum166]

There was also a movie called "Troll" from 1986, so that reference is accurate to this particular subject, I guess.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

I don't think the trolls in that movie had much to do with the myth.

[@zacharybyrum166]

@@GrimDarkNarrator Yeah, I guess you're right, I mean, who turns people into green turds and sprouts a forest?

[@pbr-streetgang]

Your the best. Thanks for the vid sir.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

[@LittlehorseReynolds]

The mountain and forest and underground trolls seem to be similar to the hairy people or better known as bigfoot.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

There's some similarity i guess.

[@lynderherberts2828]

What does a troll do during COVID lockdown? He wears a protective mask when in public. He buys a satellite smartphone, and learns how to take selfies. He buys a satellite laptop for $999.99 at Best Buy plus 3 years of Geek Squad. He creates a Google account and Gmail address. He discovers KZbin, and the entire world is now his oyster. He is thrilled when he finds GrimDark Narrator uploaded a video about him. He seldom charges a financial fee for people to safely cross his bridge. Instead, he demands their Facebook name, email address, and KZbin name. Now he trolls people on KZbin, sends selfies to their Facebook, and sends countless scams to their email.

Internet trolls have nothing to do with mythological trolls. "Trolling" is a fishing technique where you drag a fishing line through the water to see what bites. Trolling on the internet meant posting something controversial to a bbs or forum to see what "bites" you would get.

[@chinchilling92]

Good video. It would be cool to see one on Goblins and Gnomes too. Also, what is your accent? Where are you from?

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Thanks. I'm doing something similar to a goblin today. Also, I'm from Romania.

[@jackiesantos2121]

Yeah trolls summer to ogres I say but yeah I do like that movie The Troll Hunter here's in it

[@callouttv6615]

I just found out the other day, through ancestry that I have viking ancestors through William the Conqueror Rollo the Wolf of Normandy being one of them! 💕 But, I always loved mythology most recently because of the Thor movies have taken up an interest in Norse mythology and find I love it a lot more than Greek mythology ! 💕

[@solmoman]

If microsoft Sam and Chills had a baby it would talk and sound like this

[@gabrielaubry1334]

Aren't the smaller trolls just...Dwarfs? Dvergar? Svartalfar? Dwarfs from Scandinavian mythology and folklore?

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

I'm not that versed in Scandinavian mythology, but maybe someday I will be :)

[@gabrielaubry1334]

@@GrimDarkNarrator Well there are sources that use the word Troll to describe a host of supernatural beings, like the Jotunn and the Huldra Women. Also, Trolls and Dwarfs are similar in that they both turn to stone when they're hit by sunlight.

I have seen the Trolls from the DreamWorks Animation Franchise.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Those are considerably friendlier :)

[@enriqueramirez0615]

​@@GrimDarkNarrator Really, also did you know that these trolls were based on the classic "Good Luck Troll Doll" created by Danish woodworker and fisherman "Thomas Dam" (The man who made the trolls franchise possible), And witch trolls clan from the film would you rather be? Pop, Funk, Classical, Techno, Country or Rock, or the various sub-clans and groups, your choice.

[@enriqueramirez0615]

​@@GrimDarkNarrator out of all the trolls from the franchise who will you be friends with? For me personally liked the main protagonist "Poppy" (Queen of the Pop Trolls) her sister "Viva" (Leader of the Putt Putt Trolls) The main(former)antagonist but besties "Queen Barb" (Queen of the Hard Rock Trolls) the supporting Trolls characters "Satin & Chenille" (The Fashion Twins), "DJ Suki" (The pop village DJ) and "Rhythm & Blues" (The Scientists Funk Twin) from the 2nd animated series (and that only in the female category) The rest of trolls characters are all ok in my book.

[@enriqueramirez0615]
