Classification: Magical Beast

Origin: Germanic and Scandinavia

Known Witnesses: Nia, Airi (Berlin Museum)

A humanoid being, trolls are large, grotesque, brutish creatures, found in wilderness areas: forests, mountains, caves. Trolls are associated with brute strength and an affinity for darkness and are generally antagonistic, preying on humans or abducting children.

The troll in the museum attacked without warning. Nia sensed the disturbance first, a pressure in the air. Then it came through the wall: big, moss-covered, tusked. Modern police uniform. Airi described it as slow, but destructively strong. Each step split the tile. Its eyes were glowing, unmistakably blue. Puck was present. He later confessed the troll had been part of his game.

Airi also described a sign of its image earlier in the day, on the flight board in Dubai. A glitch, or a warning.
