Trolls have been a central part of Icelandic folklore for centuries, appearing in tales and legends in Iceland. These mythical beings are typically depicted as large, human-like figures, often portrayed as foolish and greedy, though there are a few exceptions where they are shown to be kind and wise. While sightings of living trolls are rare, it's believed they dwell in remote, hidden areas. However, most trolls are said to have been turned to stone by the first light of dawn.
