Word of the Day: Troll
Traditionally, a troll is a creature that lives in caves or under bridges and scares people or, in nasty situations, eats them.
Of course, they were imaginary and the stuff of fairy tales. However, modern technology has created a new kind of version.

These more modern-day trolls are not the stuff of fairy tales; these ones really exist.
