    Hi

    A troll is a fearsome member of a mythical race from Norse mythology. Originally more or less the Nordic equivalents of giants, although often smaller in size, the different depictions have come to range from the fiendish giants – similar to the ogres of England (also called Trolls at times, – to a devious, more human-like folk of the wilderness, living underground in hills, caves or mounds. In the Faroe islands, Orkney and Shetland tales, trolls are called trows, adopted from the Norse language when these islands were settled by Vikings.

        A troll is a monster, and a dwarf is a small person, that is really all there is to it. Hope this helps.

        Dwarves are usually very small creatures (although in some cases, they come up to around an adult's knee) that live underground and mine for precious and semi-precious metals and stones. They can be kind, yet they only do things if they want to.
        Trolls are usually fierce. They are usually quite tall. They traditionally carry clubs and eat humans.

        Hope I was of help!
