Trolls

Trolls are happy creatures who have always lived in a happy tree in a happy forest. They have happy bodies. Happy hair. In fact, that's probably why their brightly coloured mops seem to be exploding out of the top of their heads. I mean, how do you keep that kind of neon joy combed down?

These cute little guys are so blissfully gleeful that they can't keep themselves from breaking out in song at any given moment. They love to hug, too. They hug each other so much that they have to limit it to once an hour just so they can actually get something else done.

Now, all that wouldn't have been too terrible except for the fact that one day a big, bulky Bergen discovered that if a Bergen eats a troll, then he'll be a little happier for a short while, too. So the next thing you know, those giant gloomy guys caged up the troll tree and created a once-a-year holiday called Trollstace: a single day when every Bergen can get a "taste" of happiness. 

Well, it didn't take long for the trolls, led by their brave King Peppy, to decide they needed to do something to avoid extinction. So they tunneled past the cage walls and found a path to freedom.
Of course, that was some 20 years ago. The trolls have since set up a new home in a wonderful little wooded hollow with lots of fresh air, clean water and … great acoustics. (Hey, they still love to sing, right?) And King Peppy is just about to cede his throne to his daughter, Poppy, probably the happiest, sweetest-voiced and most gifted troll you'll ever meet. Yep, she can whip up a fabulous felt scrapbook or a humdinger of a group sing in no time at all.

Little do Poppy and her hollow full of happy huggers know, however, that the Bergens haven't given up on their quest for happiness. They haven't made peace with their melancholy misery. And they know there's only one way a Bergen will ever dispel that soul-sucking sorrow: by somehow getting their hands (and teeth) on those perpetually happy-go-lucky trolls.
