Garden Trolls (Flower Specialists)

Each garden troll is a tiny, devoted caretaker, tending a specific flower in a magical garden where dragon eggs rest safely among the blooms. From roses to tulips, daisies to lilies, each troll ensures its flower thrives while protecting the secret dragon nests. Together, they create a patchwork of colors, scents, and careful guardianship, keeping the gardens vibrant and enchanted.

Ice Trolls

Shimmering with frost and snow, these trolls are creatures of winter itself. They roam icy landscapes, sculpting delicate frost patterns on windows and leaving sparkling snow trails behind. Though their chill can be sharp, they are also magical, bringing the beauty of winter wherever they wander.

Shy Trolls

Quiet and gentle, shy trolls prefer the hidden corners of forests, gardens, and hills, peeking out only when they feel safe. Soft-spoken and cautious, they watch the world with curious eyes, delighting in small wonders and secret places.


Trolde from Danish Mythology

Mischievous and stout, these classic Danish trolde come straight from folklore. They hide in forests, hills, and rocky caves, sometimes playing tricks on travelers, sometimes just napping in the sun. Each has its own personality: some are grumpy, some playful. But all are rooted in the timeless tales of Denmark.

Wise Elder Trolls

With craggy faces, wise eyes, and slow, deliberate movements, these elder trolls have lived through centuries. They watch over younger trolls, offering guidance and stories from ages past. Legends say they remember the creation of the forests themselves and hold secrets of the natural world in their memory.
