The idea of the three heads of the Troll represents an internet chaos producer who possesses three aliases on the internet to comment from.
The primary alias is his genuine self presented in a profile. The secondary is the fake antagonist profile , the third is another fake profile that is tackling the secondary alias. We can observe this in Trolls when they begin to argue with their own heads. In the movie Frozen , trolls are cute and small and want to help Elsa and Anna to succeed. This is far from the truth.
They are like the unempathetic Hobbit cookers in the Hobbit. You are what you eat, and the Trolls eats rocks and usually not humans. Trolls can cause storms and earthquakes and sometimes when you're crossing a bridge, they give you a riddle for you to pass as we can see from legendary Norwegian tales.

Trolls are not attractive creatures. They are described as ugly, usually with big teeth, huge noses, and other grotesque features. Trolls are also much larger than the average human being, and sometimes they have multiple heads on one body.
Tiny trolls are short and stubby, and they usually live in caves or in other underground dwellings. There are also humanoid trolls — Huldrefolk. They are magical forest creatures who look a lot like humans except for a tail. Huldras could supposedly enchant men with their song, and then make them do whatever they wanted.
Sometimes they would just keep them around as pets. And that goes for all types of trolls out there, from cave trolls of Norse mythology to the internet trolls of our day and age. Although they lack human intelligence, some trolls are described as cunning creatures.
