  OK, I see: > In Scandinavian mythology, trolls are large, ugly, unfriendly, brutish, slow-witted, anti-Christian creatures said to dwell in isolated rocks, mountains, or caves. In the movie, there are two main types of trolls: mountain trolls and woodland trolls. Subtypes include Ringlefinch, Tosserlad, Rimetosser, Mountain Kings, the Harding, and Jotnar. But it doesn't say what they do, in addition to dwelling. See https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TrollBridge https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TrollBridge

    I'm familiar with the trop and I have no justification for this but it feels like maybe a later medieval invention. I don't know that they essentially do anything. There are many stories... they kind of just do unfriendly people things? mostly... they guard treasure and sleep for thousands of years sometimes?

      OK, but the judge here is unlikely some expert in Scandinavian mythology. And it's pretty clear that they understand troll as someone who guards something valuable, and demands payment from those who want it. And then there's online trolling: https://gizmodo.com/the-first-internet-troll-1652485292 https://gizmodo.com/the-first-internet-troll-1652485292

        True. What do online trolls guard? haha I think it might be just that trolls are unfriendly harassers. It's not universal but common enough since Christian times.

          > What do online trolls guard? They guard whatever it is that they're trying to dominate :)

  This movie specifically has trolls under bridges, although no tolls of course.
