Creatures of Terabithia - The Giant Troll

The Giant Troll

Leslie also invented the giant troll based on Janice Avery, the bully from the school bus. Jesse initially found the footprint of the troll, and Leslie said if they had a troll hunter, they could track its scent and sneak up on it. Soon after Jesse buys Prince Terrien (P.T.) for Leslie, they make plans to track it down. P.T. discovers that its weakness is ticklish feet. At first, the appearance of the troll is a large collection of leaves in the shape of a human body. Later, it is revealed that the giant troll is based on Janice.

Towards the end of the movie, the troll, along with Janice, experiences a large change in heart and befriends Jess and Leslie.
