Troll (Cat's Eye)

The Troll was a creature which appeared in the 1985 anthology thriller Cat's Eye, in the segment titled General.

Description
A small humanoid monster no more than a few inches tall with a fiendish face and pointed little teeth, the Troll dressed in a long robe and jester-style headgear complete with jingling bells. It also carried a small but sharp knife. Where this malevolent creature came from, and whether there existed others of its kind, remains unknown.

History
The Troll moved into young Angela's house with the intention of stealing her breath (which would presumably have killed the girl) and established its haven inside the walls of her bedroom. Fortunately for Angela, a stray cat which she later named General intervened, and after a lengthy confrontation lasting several nights, managed to kill the evil little beast, earning itself a place in her family.
