Today, trolls are widely known as the people who deliberately provoke others on social media. We oftentimes forget that, originally, trolls came from Scandinavian mythology. The first person to have ever crafted a troll doll from wood was a Danish fisherman in 1959. He made the doll as a present for his daughter on Christmas. It eventually made its way to the United States. In the ’60s, troll dolls were known by many names, including Dam dolls, Gonks, Wishniks, Treasure Trolls, and Norfins.
