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. 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.
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. He is also a master at every kind of music instrument he learns the basics off, 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. He doesn't like any of the creatures in the forest that much, except Snapper, Sun-Eye, Tim, and Huldra.
Sun Eye
A boy who thinks he's a troll.
Supporting characters

Huldra
Huldra is a huntress of the Vittling Folk. Huldra is the laughing stock of her tribe, being kinda clumsy, 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. 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.
