The Creature that was Defeated by the Three Billy Goats Gruff?

Many of you who are not really familiar about Norwegian Folktale are wondering about the creature that was defeated by the three Billy Goats Gruff . The creature was actually a mountain troll that its quite hard to imagine how the Billy Goats managed to get away from it. Among the three Billy Goats Gruff, the eldest was the one who actually defeated the troll while the other two simply outsmarted the dumb beast.
