The Fremont Troll is an 18-foot tall sculpture that resides under the Aurora Bridge, clutching a real Volkswagen Beetle in its hand.
The Volkswagen Beetle in the troll's grip was added to give the sculpture a sense of scale and realism.
The troll was built in 1990 as part of an art competition to revitalize the area under the bridge and deter illegal activities.
The troll's eye is actually a hubcap, adding a quirky touch to its already unique design.
Nope! The troll is a nod to the Scandinavian folklore that inspired the neighborhood's name, Fremont, which is known for its quirky and artistic vibe.
