Hans attempts to lure the beast away by playing "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" on his loudspeaker and then weakens it with flashes from the UV-lamp mounted on the roof-until the flash runs out of power. However, when the three students see the immense size of the creature and realize that it's heading toward the cabin, they run after Hans with the Jotnar in pursuit. Certain that the Jotnar is the source of the rabies and that he spread it to the Ringlefinches and the Mountain Kings and possibly to Thomas following the Ringlefinch bite he sustained a few days ago, Hans gears up his trollmobile and sets out to kill it, leaving Thomas, Johanna, and Malica ( Urmila Berg-Domaas) in the safety of the cabin. The fact that Hans attributes it to something Christian is simply because that's what legend says and he isn't sure, so why risk it?Īs the crazed roaring of the Jotnar becomes louder and louder, Hans gets a call from the veterinarian, informing him that the Ringlefinch had rabies. For the most part, viewers conclude that the trolls in the film were reacting simply to the smell of blood or to the loud music. Some viewers have suggested that, when the tales became prevalent, mostly everyone in Norway was Christian, so it's not a jab at Christianity but simply an archaic way of saying, "I smell a human." Others have suggested that, when Christianity was introduced to Scandinavian culture around the 12th century, it was as detrimental to troll culture as it was to fairy culture in Ireland, so any self-respecting troll would, of course, dislike Christians.

It's not known how that characteristic became part of the troll legend, but it's been a part of the lore for a long time, similar to the giant in the English folktale Jack and the Bean Stalk saying, "Fee fi fo fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman!" The legends say that trolls don't like Christians and can smell the blood of Christians, becoming as agitated as waving a red cape in front of a bull.
