If you've ever been to Norway, you've likely seen the depiction of their national cryptid monster, the troll. But, like many mystified tourists, you might wonder - what exactly is it, and was it thought to exist? To find the answer, we examine Jacob Grimm's definitive volume on the subject of trolls, "Teutonic Mythology". We identify and define the 3 main types of authentic Norwegian troll. Which one would you rather meet on a long, dark Norwegian night?
