troll 🧌 - OzVoca Emoji Details
troll
The troll emoji signifies a scary monster from fairy tales or fantasy movies. They are often depicted as living under bridges or in caves.
Besides its meaning as a scary monster, this emoji also refers to a person who 'trolls' by deliberately angering others on the internet. You can use it jokingly with a friend who plays a lot of pranks.
Originating from Norse mythology, trolls were originally nature spirit-like beings, but their image gradually changed to that of evil and foolish giants. This emoji represents such mythological beings or can be used to describe someone who is eccentric and stubborn.
The internet term 'trolling' originally came from a word meaning a type of fishing technique. Now, a 'troll' is what we call someone who intentionally starts arguments in online communities. This emoji is used with that negative meaning, as well as in a positive sense to represent a character in a fantasy game.
