Description Oh crap! More trolls. Just can't get over them.

Just something done for my own amusement. Everyone knows your basic high fantasy troll. They're big, stupid, heal really really fast and have a serious allergy to fire.
This is a kinda conceptual study as to how trolls evolve to compensate for their weakness. I put them on a kind of mugshot row to give the right idea of their size.
From left to right:

Basic troll: Just as I said above. Big, stupid and flammable.

River troll: Next step in troll logic. Go some place wet, so fire won't work(yes their genes are as simple as they are). These trolls have developed gills, and their hair resembles seaweed.

Snow troll: Another step in troll logic. What's the opposite of hot. That's right, cold. Go someplace very cold ie. with snow and a colder than average climate. These things have grown themselves a nice white furcoat and great cold resistance.

Rock troll: The epitome of troll evolution, with skin that closely resembles stone and has mineral qualities. This effectly prevents them from catching fire and feeling anything less than a direct hit from a cannonball.

Which of this would Mustakrakish be considered?

That would be something completely different. He would probably be the next step being the ultimate-big-ass-heavy-metal-lake-bodom troll.

I might have this wrong, but the way I interpreted this originally was as Internet Trolls, and I figured that they may get more cunning or evolve or adabt to their environment but they're always very noticeable as being trolls, much like this image in that although they evolve they always look troll-like. So with my complete misinterpretation I really dig this image, cuz i hate internet trolls!

Interesting point you got there.

Now that you mentioned it, this really can be a metaphorical evolution of internet trolls advancing to never before attained levels of pissing people off.

Thanks for the

I myself don't like the LOTR trolls much. Otherwise they're kinda cool but the faces look just too damn stupid.

That said, I shall keep my own shit up.

Even then it'd be like: "Oomph, hey! That tickles. Come here!" *smash* *krak* *kerplunk* And you'd find the cannon shoved up your ass sideways.

Yes you would... Yeah I think the ratio of damage-you-inflict-to-a-rock-troll to damage-a-rock-troll-inflicts-to-you would be extremely low... Man that took too long to type!

I find myself seriously concerned for your mental health, as you actually took time to devise such a mathematic formula.

It's even more worrying that I spent about half the waking time of my summer holidays messing around with loaaaads of mathematical formulas! But then, that's just me I guess, a freaky wierd maths freak...

I wish I could scare the fucking human rights and unicef money beggars away. They always seem to spot me in a crowd. The only one that avoids me is the weird serbian lady who sells roses at the bus station.

flamencofrog In reply to Nether83 [2007-09-11 15:48:53 +0000 UTC]

Hah! Why does she avoid you? Do you not look like the type who will buy roses? Isn't that good enough reason to try to convert you into a new rosebuyer? Hmmmm... It all smells a bit fishy...
