What do trolls actually look like?
A troll is a large, humanoid creature with a rocky or scaly skin that blends in with its natural surroundings.
A troll has a long, pointed nose, a wide mouth with sharp teeth, and small, sunken eyes that glow in the dark.
A troll has thick, coarse hair that covers its head and body, sometimes forming a beard or a mane. The hair may be black, brown, gray, or green.
A troll has long arms and legs, with clawed hands and feet.
It may also have horns, spikes, or warts on its head or body.
A troll is very strong and resilient, but also slow and stupid.
It can use simple weapons such as clubs or rocks, but prefers to rely on its brute force.
A troll is hostile to humans and other living beings, and may attack them for food or fun.
It lives in isolated places such as mountains, caves, or forests, and avoids sunlight, which can turn it to stone.
A troll may have some magical abilities, such as shapeshifting, prophesying, or casting spells.
It may also have some weaknesses, such as fire, iron, or certain words or riddles.
However, there are many other ways to imagine a troll, as different cultures and stories have their own versions of this mythical creature.
For example, in the fantasy world of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, trolls are sentient beings made entirely of rock.
They have names based on minerals, such as Detritus or Ruby.
They are very intelligent when they are cold, but become dull when they are hot.
They have a complex culture and history, and some of them even work as policemen or lawyers.

Are trolls real or not?
Trolls are a type of mythical creatures that originate from Scandinavian folklore, but have also become popular in other cultures and media.
There is no one definitive description of trolls, as they vary in size, shape, appearance, and abilities.
Some trolls are depicted as giant, monstrous beings that live in isolated areas and are hostile to humans.
Other trolls are portrayed as smaller, more human-like creatures that can shape-shift, prophesy, or use magic.
Some trolls live under bridges, some live in mountains, and some live on the internet.
As for whether trolls are real or not, that depends on your definition of reality.
Some people may believe that trolls exist in a spiritual or metaphysical sense, while others may dismiss them as mere products of imagination and fiction.
There is no scientific evidence that proves or disproves the existence of trolls, so it is ultimately a matter of personal belief and interpretation.
Here is a funny joke about trolls:
Q: How do you cross a Middle Earth bridge?
A: You use J.R.R. Tokens!
