11 Translated for the word “Copper” 12 Troll – a troll is a supernatural being in Norse mythology and Scandinavian folklore. In origin, troll may have been a negative being in Norse mythology. Beings described as trolls dwell in isolated rocks, mountains, or caves, live together in small family units, and are rarely helpful to human beings – see its sketch above.

35 A troll is a supernatural being in Norse mythology and Scandinavian folklore. In origin, troll may have been a negative being in Norse mythology. In Old Norse sources, beings described as trolls dwell in isolated rocks, mountains, or caves, live together in small family units, and are rarely helpful to human beings – see its picture above.
