""Trolls" covered a lot more ground in the folklore than in the fantasy genre. So much more, in fact, that you could call a human a troll."
In Michigan, Yoopers (those who live in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, or UP) refer to those who live below the Mackinac Bridge as trolls. Art imitates life/life imitates art!

It does shift on the way. Trollish humans in Norse times practiced magic.
Oh, very true. Although I now live in the UP, I grew up in very southern Lower Michigan. There is nothing magical about (us) trolls!
Alas for the disenchantment of life.
