Trolls or similar creatures appear in Folklore across Northern Europe. Of these creatures, the Norse trolls are probably the best known. Finnish mythology, however, is not without its trolls either. Let's examine how the Finnish trolls are, and how they differ from their Scandinavian cousins.

This was awesome and I hope we get to see Issue 2 of Trolled!
Absolutely take this with a pinch of salt, but I recall a proposed reason behind the widespread use of iron as a warding material in (primarily European) folklore. Meteoric iron. Iron ore was rather hard to come by or mine, so the earliest usable sources were meteorites. Having fallen from space, or the heavens, early civilizations assigned a great importance to it, potentially influencing the birth of these legends, which probably spread and survived due to people's easy access to iron in later time periods.
as a foreigner living in finland, this is by far my favorite Finnish content creator, I wish you nothing but success man.
I think it's interesting that most of the scandinavian words for using magic are derived from the same origin as the word "troll". I happen to have a local folklore book from the Turku archipelago area where and encounter with trolls is described. These trolls are flying in through windows or whatever and using magic or "trolling" to make cows sick. I mean... They're literally trolling the people so that's kind of funny, but also it's really interesting and very different from the popularized description of trolls.
Interesting, never thought about Finnish trolls before
The Estonian word Peigmees shows that Estonians have been trolls for a very long time. Also in typical Estonian fashion it sounds like something naughty in English.
So the difference between Scandinavian trolls and Finnish trolls is that the latter can be good sometimes, they live underground upside down and they are good at herding cattle
i saw trolls serving a god queen
as a Swde, I love learning about Finnish folklore. It is so similar and yet different. Kitos
First off, Norse does not mean norwegian. Second of all, Sweden had all the troll stories too
darn, you can say that he
Kiitos for this channel, Antti. I found it last night and am partway through the process of binging your content. You mused in one of the videos as to why you were producing content in English, and I can provide you with an excellent reason, beyond the amusement of foreigners.
Great video, I liked and saved for future review and references. I like how many times the trolls shout Perkele in the graphics 😂
Kiitos näistä videoista!
Ironically the first Finnish metal band I can think of is Finntroll. (Wait, that's not ironic.) Anyway, your art and video style is great. You have a new subscriber, looking forward to more.
I've been waiting for this! Loved it!
Loved this 🤟🏻 excellent work
An interesting observation I've made regarding Ukko and Thor resemblance, Thor was often called Åku-Tor which means "Thor the rider" and refer to him riding his chariot. This is probably the cognate of the Swedish word Åska (Thunder) just like Ukko and ukkonen are. In Sami mythology we have this character Ajeke that is a hammer wielding god of thunder that some Sami people calls Thoron, Horagalles, or Thora Galles. There's quit some crossover here.
Very interesting. Love your art style too.
Great video and love your dry humor.
