Trolls are normally come across as very aggressive creatures within the media due to the fact of there large build and unappealing appearance, for example in the trilogy Lord of the Rings, a group of trolls they plan to eat the main protagonist. This act itself shows a very mean lifestyle for the creatures. I feel this is an element I will show in my concepts however I also plan to contrast this element by doing a friendly troll which I want to be inspired the BFG (The Big Friendly Giant). Though the BFG not being a troll I want to take elements from him to create a more friendly looking troll such as the crooked smile and the large eyes, elements that can be easily added to the creature.
I then went and thought about trolls within a culture and what as species would they be identified as. Maybe some unban cultures consider them a creature they can use as a form of transportation due to there large build whereas rural cultures may see them as a form of godly creatures that should be celebrated. I also want to take into consideration the time era these trolls are from, for example if they were in the prehistoric era they might have a more natural appearance whereas if they were in modern day they may have modern enhancements such as metal arms or protective gear. This I feel is of importance for this will give a clear background to the identify of the trolls lifestyle.
