Trolls are often depicted in folklore as creatures that avoid sunlight because exposure to it can be harmful or fatal to them. In many stories, sunlight turns trolls to stone or greatly weakens them, making it a crucial factor in their behavior. This characteristic serves to enhance the mythical nature of trolls, emphasizing their connection to darkness and the underground. As a result, they tend to dwell in caves or other shadowy places, emerging only at night.
