Mountain trolls are a territorial bunch. They stake out passes, bridges and other avenues of travel and will ask for a toll to pass through their territory. If sufficient payments are not made, then there is no passage. Sometimes it's worth it to take the longer route. Mountain trolls will protect their territory against other mountain trolls as well. They notch their clubs to indicate the number of times they have been challenged. The constant exposure to glaring snow white conditions can lead to cataracts and other vision problems making for some very grumpy trolls.
Great pic. Is that a toothbrush? I'd like to think that's what a troll toothbrush should look like.
ReplyDeleteMatt, of course we know that no self respecting troll would ever admit to using a toothbrush. It also serves as a backscratcher..
