Mapandikizi ya watu ni viumbe vya kibunilizi ambavyo kwa kawaida huchorwa kama madubwana makubwa yenye mwili unaofanana na wa binadamu na sura ya kutisha. Mapandikizi ya watu hutokea kwenye kazi za zamani za fasihi na bunilizi ya kisayansi, na mara nyingi huelezwa katika hadithi za vichimbakazi kama “mapandikizi wala-watu” wanaokula binadamu. Wao huwa na kichwa kikubwa, hamu kubwa na mwili mshupavu. Mapandikizi ya watu ni warefu zaidi kuliko binadamu wa kawaida, na wana uhusiano wa karibu na majitu. Ingawa wengine huwa na sura inayofanana na ya trolu, wao hawa na uhusiano wowote na trolu wa Skandinavia.

Ogres are fictional beings which are usually depicted as large monsters with a humanoid body and a hideous appearance. Ogres appear in many classic works of literature and science fiction, and are most often described in fairy tales as “man-eating ogres” who feed on human beings. They have a large head, a big appetite and a sturdy body. Ogres are taller than an average human, and are closely related to giants. Although some have a troll-like appearance, they have no relation to the trolls of Scandinavia.

Ilhali brauni huwa watulivu, hobgoblini huwa wafanya-mzaha na hupenda vichekesho na huwa na uwezo wa kubadilisha umbo. Katika vitabu vya Lodi wa Pete, hobgoblini huwa wakubwa zaidi, wenye nguvu zaidi, werevu zaidi na aina ya hatari zaidi ya zimwi. Katika vitabu cha komiki cha Mtu-Bui, mhalifu aitwaye Hobgoblini ni mwigo wa Zimwi la Kijani, lakini na ngozi ya manjano na akivalia joho lenye kifuniko cha manjano-machungwa hitilafiana na mtangulizi wake.

Hobgoblins are friendly but troublesome goblins, sometimes called a "bogey". While brownies are more peaceful creatures, hobgoblins are pranksters and fond of practical jokes and have the ability to shape-shift. In The Lord of the Rings books, hobgoblins are a larger, stronger, smarter and more menacing form of goblin. In the Spider-Man comicbook series, the villain named Hobgoblin is an imitation of the Green Goblin, but with yellow skin and hooded in a yellow-orange cloak in contrast to his predecessor.

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.
