## Plot

Join the adventures of the three young trolls Snapper, Tumbler, and Willy Wee, as they explore the magical Troll forest and in their own unique way - make sure that the elves, nixes and other faerie folk will never forget (not forgive them). The Trolls are an anarchistic lot, always on the lookout for fun. They never realise what havoc they wreak, nor do they care. They are mischievous but harmless. Everyone in the magical forest knows our three heroes by the pranks they play and the adventures they share.

## Characters
### Snapper

Voiced by Kathleen Barr. Snapper is a rather scrawny, barefoot, troll child from a forest filled of magic creatures. He is generally pretty disliked by just about everyone in the forest due to the constant pranks he plays on anyone he comes across. He is very cunning (although he might seem dumb, as he cannot even count to two!). He is also a master at every kind of music instrument he learns the basics off (He learned to play violin like a pro just like "Snap!"), but favours the flute. While he generally doesn't care about the consequences of his actions, he often resolves bad situations he played a part in instigating. He has a little troll named Willy Wee living in his hat. He has a really big ego. Unlike the other trolls, Snapper goes barefoot.

### Tumbler

Voiced by Cathy Weseluck. Tumbler is a fat little troll child. He is rather dull and mostly just tags along with Snapper, agrees with him, when he compliments himself, and takes part in his pranks. He is rather shy.

### Willy Wee

Willy Wee is a naked nano-troll (a tiny troll). He doesn't like any of the creatures in the forest that much, except Snapper, Sun-Eye, Tim, and Huldra.

### Supporting characters
#### Huldra

Voiced by Lalainia Lindbjerg. Huldra is a (self-appointed, the other vittlings doesn't thinks she's ready yet, "The Hunt doesn't call her") huntress of the Vittling Folk (They seem to be some kind of troll-elfish creatures...). Huldra is the laughing stock of her tribe, being kinda clumsy (while still being just as agile as any other vittling), and short-thinking sometimes, as well as being one of Snappers main targets for pranks. She yearns to prove that she can be just as good a hunter as the adult Vittlings (though she is a kid). She seems to have some kind of liking for Snapper, as she enjoyed kissing him just to see his reaction, as well getting pretty jealous when a mermaid flirted with him.

#### Scuttlebutt

Huldra's pet moose/elk. He is very gluttonous and has a sweet tooth. He is also rather dumb.

#### Trollmum

A troll woman who desperately wants children and will even steal human children.

#### Gnarlyconk

Voiced by Michael Dobson. Gnarlyconk is a short-tempered troll who is Snapper's nemesis.

#### Flobbergob

Voiced By Scott McNeil. One of the trolls.

#### Rumbletum

Voiced by Michael Dobson. Rumbletum is a dim-witted troll. He has a problem of passing gas.

#### Wrathrag

The resident troll witch. She makes and mixes potions in her hallow tree. She has a pet owl that acts as her eyes.

#### Strix

Wrathrag's giant owl companion.

### Antagonists
#### The Wolf

A creature who seeks to devour the hero

#### The Nix

Voiced by Michael Dobson. An aquatic spirit feared by many of the forest's inhabitants. He dwells in a castle in the lake. He enchants people with false promises and wishes so that he can keep them there forever.

#### The Mara

A wicked demon that spreads nightmares.

#### The Mermaid

A beautiful creature from the sea. She gets lost in the troll river and falls in love with Snapper. After she successfully seduced Snapper, she transformed him into a sea troll.
