Trolu (Trolls)

Trolu (Troll / Trolls)

Mazimwi ya Kiskandinavia huitwa trolu; lakini tofauti na mazimwi ya kawaida, trolu hawawezi kubadilisha umbo. Trolu ni kiumbe kisicho cha dunia hii katika mitholojia ya Kinorsi na hadithi za jadi za Kiskandinavia. Trolu kwa kawaida huishi kwenye miamba, milima na mapango, na huishi pamoja katika familia ndogo na ni nadra kuwa na manufaa yoyote kwa binadamu. Trolu huelezwa kama wazee kupita kiasi, wenye nguvu sana, lakini waenda pole na wajinga, na mara nyingi huelezwa kama wala-watu na hugeuka jiwe wanapowekwa wazi kwa mwanga wa jua.

Scandinavian goblins are called trolls; however unlike regular goblins, trolls cannot shape-shift. A troll is a supernatural being in Norse mythology and Scandinavian folk-tales. Trolls normally dwell in rocks, mountains, or caves, and live together in small families and are rarely of any use to humans. Trolls are described as being extremely old, very strong, but slow and dim-witted, and are at times described as man-eaters and turn to stone upon exposure to sunlight.

Vifuko vya hewa - Vifuko vya hewa chini ya koo shingoni mwa walarasi, shingo lililo fupi na nene, vifuko hivyo vina uwezo wa kuvimba na hewa ili kumpa uwezo wa kuelea wima na kichwa chake juu ya maji. Pia vinatumiwa kama vyumba vya mvumo vinavyotoa sauti kama kengele chini ya maji.

Shahamu - Tabaka ya shahamu kubwa iliyo na upana wa hadi sentimita 15 inayomkinga kutoka kwa baridi.

Masikio - Masikio yao madogo yana kunyanzi ya ngozi nje yao ili kufanya vichwa vyao vinyooke ili waogelee vyema zaidi majini.

Mapezi ya mbele - Kinyume ya mapezi ya nyuma, haya ni marefu kama yaliyo mapana, lakini yana unene na gegedu na vidole vitano kama mapezi ya nyuma. Wanapoogelea, yanatumiwa mara kwa mara kupiga kasia katika mwendo ulio chini lakini mara nyingine hutumiwa kuelekeza.

Ngozi - Ngozi ni ya hudhurungi yenye kunyanzi inayoonekana kama inabadilisha rangi kulingana na halijoto, kwa sababu wakati anapohisi joto, utiririshi wa damu kuelekea usoni mwa ngozi huongezeka ili kumpoza. Tendo hili humpatia walarasi sura nyekundunyekundu na huonekana kama ana madoadoa. Anapohisi baridi, utiririshi wa damu kuelekea usoni mwa ngozi hupunguzika, kumpatia sura ya kukwajuka.

Pembe - Zimeundwa na dentini, pembe za walarasi ni ndefu sana na ni meno yanayoendelea kukua. Hazitumiwi kuchimbia chakula lakini huwapea usaidizi mwingi wanapojikokota barafuni au ardhini. Pia zinatumiwa kuonyesha utawala na cheo.

Sharubu - Sharubu zao zilizo puani ni nene na zina hali ya juu ya kuhisi na husaidia wanapotafuta chakula.
