Trolls in Folklore and Fantasy

Trolls are one of the most enduring figures in Northern European folklore. In Norse mythology they are powerful beings tied to the untamed wilderness — giants who turn to stone in sunlight, supernatural creatures that live under bridges and in mountain caves, dangerous unless approached with the right knowledge or the right gift. In Scandinavian and Icelandic folk stories they are the ancient spirit of wild places: unpredictable, strong, and fundamentally other.

Modern fantasy has softened and diversified trolls into an enormous range of characters — from the menacing bridge-guardian to the bumbling gentle giant to the endearingly ugly forest friend. This collection embraces that variety: there are trolls that look genuinely formidable and trolls that look like they would love a hug, all sharing the same signature features of craggy skin, wild hair and the feeling that they belong somewhere wilder and older than the everyday world.

What Is in the Trolls Collection

Across 69 pages you will find trolls of many kinds: forest trolls hunched under mushrooms, mountain trolls at the mouth of their caves, bridge trolls in classic pose, troll families with baby trolls, trolls wielding clubs and trolls simply sitting and looking thoughtfully ancient. The varied expressions and postures give the collection real character and breadth.

How to Color Troll Pages

Trolls suit earthy, natural palettes: mossy greens, clay browns, rocky greys and warm amber. Skin tones in the middle range — neither too pink nor too grey — give trolls their characteristic look of something weathered and ancient. Mossy details on the skin and in the hair add a wonderful naturalistic texture. For the whimsical, friendly trolls, brighter and warmer versions of the same palette keep the character cheerful without losing the earthy quality.

• Stone-grey skin — a muted blue-grey gives mountain trolls their rock-like quality.
• Earthy moss accents — patches of green on the shoulders, hair and knees suggest a creature that sits still long enough for things to grow on it.
• Wild hair in warm amber — amber, straw-yellow and rust suit troll hair perfectly, contrasting with the cool grey skin.
• Dark, deep eyes — deep amber or forest green irises with very small white highlights.
