[QUOTE="Magic Rub, post: 392651, member: 3619"] Thanks for the re-start Rav. :) The old thread may have been silly in part, but the intent was all the same. Trolls (& to some extent most goblinoid races, heck all creatures, but we're not talking about all creatures) Have been changed & re-changed, sometimes drastically, from one fantasy setting to the next. My favorite are the trolls from the "Gnome" Books, due mostly to childhood nostalgia, & all those pretty pictures (which are nice when you're young & can't read yet) :). [img]http://www.foundus.com/jani/gnomes/images/Troll.jpg[/img] They were evil, greedy, dirty, sub human... & yet still in some way relatable to us ;). I'm with Rav, I hate the Troll Dolls! (I'll spare the picture on this one) They're useless, market tools! I used them simply to flavour my point. The idea of PC Trolls has always sparked my imagination in D&D, which is why I made note of the Everquest Trolls. [img]http://everquest.allakhazam.com/monsterpics/Basher%20Nagkuma.jpg[/img] I would have noted The War hammer trolls, but didn't know they existed. (& They sound different yet again) Warhammer trolls (there are probably a million more kinds?????) [img]http://www.warhammeronline.com/newpages/download_images/marsh_troll.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.warhammeronline.com/newpages/download_images/chaos_troll_1.jpg[/img] Here's two that I could find examples of first the "Marsh Troll" & second the "Chaos Troll" Here's what Warhammer claims to be a "Basic Troll" [img]http://www.warhammeronline.com/newpages/download_images/troll.jpg[/img] Sure it is! :rolleyes: ;) As Dr. Midnight noted, "What, no love for the trolls from Willow???" [img]http://www.lepconnie.com/willow/archives/opmworld3.jpg[/img] They look like nuked wookies, what more can I say. Anyone remember Troll the movie? [img]http://www.badmovies.org/movies/troll/troll4.jpg[/img] Looks like a nice guy, & a bit like the willow troll Then there's the "Norwegian trolls" [img]http://www.trolls-online.com/storefront/images/nyform/99030.jpg[/img] I've seen these when I was little, a guy who had a cabin near my Grandma's Collected these things. He hid them all around his cabin. The list goes on & on. If you have more examples, written, stats, or pics, pop them up. [/QUOTE]
