Troll (Skylanders)

This article is also viewed at the Skylanders Wikia.

The Trolls are Kaos' main ground forces in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, and are known for their love of blowing stuff up. As a race, they're very skilled engineers and technicians, but it seems that this intelligence is limited to the higher ranks of troll society.

The most intelligent and sophisticated troll is Glumshanks, who serves as Kaos' right hand (and is arguably more intelligent than him).

Boomer is the only good troll to ever have the honour of becoming a Skylander.

History

Trolls once lived under bridges and made anyone who crossed over pay the toll. When most people got over the bridge without paying a toll, using billy goats, 'Fools Gold', or 'Fools Potatoes', the Trolls gave up on collecting tolls, crawled out from under their bridges, and went to work for Kaos.

Trolls have also played a part in the backstories of some of the Skylanders:

• When the Trolls began hunting unicorns and dragons, they suffered the wrath of the unicorn dragon hybrid Skylander, Whirlwind.

• Oil-drilling Trolls had also invaded an undersea civilization that was ruled by Wham-Shell, causing his people to be scattered to the wind, and Wham-Shell drove the Trolls away with his powerful mace soon afterwards.
• Trolls had also chopped down and logged Stump Smash's entire forest, including himself. The tree-like creature then retaliated by smashing the Trolls' tree-cutting machines with his stump-like mallets.
• Boomer was part of the Troll Army, originally a demolition specialist, but he realized the sole mission of the army was war and conquest, which didn't interest him. Determined to stop the Troll Army's quest for conquest, and to blow up things as many as he can, Boomer left the Trolls after saving a town being destroyed by them. Soon afterwards, Boomer was invited to be a Skylander, becoming the only troll to win such an honor.

Role

Console Versions

The Trolls played a role in Kaos' plans during his reign over Skylands. They first appeared on Oilspill Island, having held the Gillmen living there prisoner and took over the island to drill for oil which they give to Kaos for his machines, contaminating the waters in the process. The Skylanders saved the Gillmen and destroyed the oil factory that was polluting the waters.

The Trolls later appeared in Falling Forest, having been sent by Kaos to cut down all the trees in order to find the Eternal Life Source that resided inside a giant acorn, but was thwarted by the Skylanders. They appeared again in Troll Warehouse, Battlefield, and Goo Factory where they were at war with the Mabu Defense Force.

3DS Version

The Trolls play a part in Hektore's rule in the Radiant Isles, having been unleashed into the unstable Rivenrock Caverns. They have Attack Dogs, which they use to sniff out intruders.

Trivia

• There are hints of predjudice against trolls such Snuckles referring to them as "stinky bridge dwellers" and when Boomer talks to Quigley, Quigley will state that his mom said he's not allowed to talk to him.
