Welcome to the Heart of Troll Mountain

High in the misty folds of the Smoky Mountains, where the moss grows thick and the laughter of trolls echoes through the trees, the spirit of the original woodland trolls lives on. The Woodland Trollmaker | FLUX.1 D Style model is lovingly crafted as a tribute to the storied legacy of Ken Arensbak and the 5 Arts Studio, who brought the first trolls to life on Troll Mountain, Tennessee.

The Trolls of Troll Mountain: A Living Tradition

Inspired by the enchanting trolls born from the hands of the Arensbak family, each digital troll you create with this model carries a piece of Smoky Mountain history. The Arensbaks—Ken, Neta, and their family—began crafting trolls in the 1950s, drawing from Scandinavian folklore and the wild beauty of their new Appalachian home. Their trolls, with their shaggy hair, nut noses, and woodland treasures, became beloved symbols of creativity and wonder, each one a unique character meant to bring luck and joy.

• Noses made from nuts—walnut, buckeye, hickory, and more, each chosen for its texture and charm.

• Attire and accessories made from moss, bark, and forest finds, just as the Arensbaks intended.
