Wanting a better life for Baba, she decided to use a changeling spell on Hilda and Baba. However, while the humans were her guests, she had seen how Johanna cared for Hilda. The following day, she used a map drawn in the ground and a fireball to guide Hilda and Johanna out of the caves. When she noticed who was chasing them, she took the two humans to her own home, and provided them with drinks and a place to sleep. She encountered Johanna and Hilda a second time after the two had gone back into the Stone Forest to rescue Twig from the Two-Headed Troll. Once out, she and some other trolls were attacked by a Two-Headed Troll, who stole her goat and cargo for himself. Johanna, Hilda escaped her however by hiding between her cargo, and the troll thus unknowingly took them outside. She smelled the two humans, and found them when Baba revealed their position. When first seen, she was leading a pack goat (possibly the same goat that a farmer reported missing earlier in the story) carrying various kinds of food and other cargo to the exit of the forest. She encountered Hilda, Johanna and Twig when the two accidentally ended up in the Stone Forest after an accident with Nowhere Space. She also genuinely loves her daughter Baba, and wants the best for her, which is why she used a changeling spell on her and Hilda.Īlong with her daughter Baba, she lives in the Stone Forest outside Trolberg. Unlike most trolls, Trylla is not hostile towards humans, and she even helped Hilda and Johanna when the two got lost in the Stone Forest. Trylla looks like most trolls in the series, with large stumpy arms and legs, white blank eyes, and a long nose.
