[WikiEN-l] Female trolls?

[dpbsmith at verizon.net]

That leads to all sorts of questions. What should female trolls be called? 
Are they as sweet and lovely as Tove Jansson's "Snork Maiden" in the 
Moomintroll books? 

According to http://www.whatson.is/default.asp?web_id=3&page_id=181 , 

"Female trolls were usually more benevolent than male trolls.  The female 
trolls would often yearn for the love of humans luring men to their caves 
with magic spells.  In many cases the men would fall in love with the trolls 
eventually becoming trolls them selves.  Sometimes the trolls would have 
children with humans a sort of a half troll.  These half trolls would 
generally look like ordinary humans possessing the magical powers of the 
troll parent.  Female half trolls would often be exceedingly beautiful and 
enchanting."
