Troll lovers, rejoice! Starting in August, Danish artist Thomas Dambo is bringing his 12–20-foot wooden trolls to the region—and he’s offering locals the opportunity to build with him.

Dambo’s public art project, NW Trolls: Way of the Bird King, is dedicated to environmentalism (the trolls are constructed from recycled wood), while connecting communities with Scandinavian culture (they are also Nordic folklore characters). His creations are typically enormous, with feet and ankles on par with adult human height.

One hundred of Dambo’s trolls already live across six continents, as you can see on his handy Troll Map. Next month, they will begin appearing in six Pacific Northwest spots, including Portland, Issaquah, Vashon, Ballard, Bainbridge Island, and Seattle’s National Nordic Museum. Portland’s troll will be built at Nordic Northwest near Washington Square. All are part of a 10-troll series that also includes New Jersey, Vermont, Michigan, and Colorado.

Previous trolls have created public safety concerns, including one in Breckenridge, Colorado, that was removed in 2018 due to the attentions of thousands of unexpected tourists, which led to concerns around trash, vandalism, and visitor injuries. Dambo was reportedly dumbfounded that his reconfigured “pallets we found by the dump” could cause such problems.

Exact locations of the trolls have not yet been released, but you will be able to view them (sans sweat equity) once they’re up. The trolls are funded by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, and the Scan Design Foundation.

Those interested in inviting more trolls into their lives can sign-up to volunteer for troll building,  or make a monetary donation.
