Are the Size of the Trolls Big or Small

When it comes to the size of the trolls, they actually have different sizes. In short, their size ranges from being small to large or big sizes. Although, portrayed in most movies and stories, they are giant monsters.

Large Giant Troll Creatures

Giant troll creatures are massive monsters. With such size, they possess incredible strength that they can effortlessly squeeze any adult human with just one of their hands. In the past, giant trolls were known to attack human villages by throwing large rocks.

A troll with a height of 15 feet can already be considered as a giant troll creature. But, you might be surprised to know that there are also some species of their kind that can grow up to 30 feet. There are even some rare giant trolls that reach a height of more than a hundred feet tall. Troll hunters refers to them as “Colossal Titans”.


Despite the size of the colossal titan trolls, only few individuals were able to witness one of them. The reason is that, these kind of gigantic trolls mostly live on extremely cold temperature. And, they spend most of their time sleeping for several years before waking up.

Thus, their body gets covered with ice which is the main reason why they are often mistaken as a mountain covered with ice.

As for the giant trolls with the size that ranges from 15 to 30 feet tall, they prefer to live in a vast thick forest.

The reason why it is not common for anyone to encounter them is that, these creatures are highly trained hunters.

They actually possess strong and sharp senses that are beyond any human capabilities. Their senses can actually detect the presence of human several miles away from them. This is the reason why they can easily evade humans with no chances of being caught by surprise.

Human Size Trolls

There are also trolls with the size of a human being. In the past, they were often treated as evil witches. But unlike their giant counterpart, human size trolls possess shape-shifting abilities and they love to steal from humans.


They often steal livestock for food but worst, they also love to steal children especially new born babies.

With their ability to shape-shift, they can easily infiltrate homes and steal anything they want. Their shape-shifting ability allows them to transform themselves to anything which includes humans, animals, insects, and even objects.

Small Size Trolls

Small trolls are also referred as “Troll Dwarves”. These kinds of trolls live their lives similar to the giant trolls. According to some legends, they built their own world at the deepest portion of the earth so that no humans could ever go there.


However, legends also claim that these small troll creatures were planning about taking the whole world as their own. Soon, they will suddenly come out deep from the underground and attack the human civilizations for their own conquest.

Moreover, troll creatures are pretty much the same as the humans in terms of sizes. In the past, it was known that human giants also exist. Searching the internet will provide you a lot of information where archaeologists were able to discover massive human giant bones.

Today, the sizes that only remain are human sizes and dwarves while, the human giants went extinct a long way back to the ancient period of time.
