Attacks: Various
Appears in:

Trolls are a race of creatures that mainly use their skills for conquest and war. They are commonly employed under Kaos for his plans to take over Skylands. One of the most intelligent and sophisticated trolls is Glumshanks, who serves as Kaos's right hand. Boomer is the only Troll to ever have the honor of becoming a Skylander.

Characteristics

Physical appearance

Trolls are brutish-looking creatures that range from average-sized to large. Their notable features are their big noses and pointy ears.

Traits

As a race, Trolls are very skilled engineers and technicians, capable of creating huge range of weapons and vehicles for fighting their enemies. They use their skills for warfare and conquest.[1] Their main hobbies include drilling for oil, war, and chopping down forest. All of their games involve explosives, like dynamite and bombs, including playing fetch with Chompies.

Only a few trolls are intelligent beyond their love for warfare and violent tactics.

Story

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 many of the Skylanders, including Whirlwind, Wham-Shell, and Stump Smash.

Skylanders: The Machine of Doom

The Trolls worked with a Spell Punk in testing out a invisibility spell so that they could steal the Chattering Key from its guardian unnoticed. However the trolls decided to go and cause trouble in the Mabu Market using the invisibility spell, unknowingly drawing attention to the Skylanders, much to the Spell Punk's frustration. Gill Grunt used his harpoon gun to fire gushes of mushy fruit at the trolls, making them visible again. Upon realizing that they are seen, the Trolls were then attacked by the Skylanders and were soon called back by Kaos.

The Trolls later assisted Kaos to claim the Chattering Key from the Skylanders.

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure

Console versions

In the 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, Goo Factory, and Battlefield, where they were at war with the Mabu Defense Force.

Nintendo 3DS version

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

Skylanders: Giants

Console versions

In Troll Home Security, an army of trolls fiercely guarded a machine called the Shield Gun that created a forcefield around Kaos' Kastle which protected the castle for years. However the Skylanders infiltrated the fortress and managed to destroy the Shield Gun generating the forcefield in order to get into castle.

Skylanders: Swap Force

Console versions

Trolls were sent by Kaos to the Cloudbreak Islands to ensure that the Ancient Terrasquid was evilized without interference. An army of Trolls later accompanied Kaos to the Fantasm Forest to capture the Ancient Tree Spirit, having been taught to use and manipulate evilized fire.

In the Tower of Time Adventure Pack, the Time Trolls gave Cluck a powerful suit and helped him to disable the Tower of Time until the Skylanders defeated Cluck.

Skylanders: SuperChargers

The first new Troll enemy the SuperChargers meet are in The Rift to Skylands under the name of Shifty Sticklers, one of them guarding Flynn, Cali, and Hugo's cell.

The Trolls in the Cloud Kingdom were send by Kaos with Transport Ships and serve the defected Storm Giant Lord Stratosfear, one eating the clouds and another feeding the cloud consumers. As stated by another storm giant named Ukko, Kaos was sending nine Transport Ships into their realm to overpower the high-society race.

The Trolls in the Monstrous Isles worship the massive Titans and, according to Tessa, carry out their every terrible wish, to the death.

Skylanders: Imaginators

The Trolls make their only appearance in Skylanders: Imaginators in the Gryphon Park Observatory Adventure Packs, where they attempt to steal the legendary Rainbow Gryphons' eggs for their "Evil Zoo of Terrible Conditions", which according to Cali, is literally what it's called.

Other appearances

Skylanders: Lost Islands

Trolls will sometimes set up camp in the kingdom, but can be dispersed by Skylanders. Having a Skylander take care of a troll camp rewards the player with Gold and Hero Points for the Skylander used.

Trivia

  • Some dialogue hints at Mabu prejudice against trolls:
  • According to a cave painting in the museum on the Boney Islands, Trolls may have devolved from smarter, elf-like beings.
  • In the Strata artbook for Skylanders: Swap Force, concept art depicts Trolls piloting a number of large, ship-themed mechs outfitted with missile launchers or anchor weapons. None of these mechs appear in the actual game, however.[2]
  • Depending on who developed the game, the Troll's appearances and level of intelligence varies from game to game. In games developed by Toys For Bob, the trolls have a more round appearances and are intelligent enough to build and operate advanced machines. In games developed by Vicarious Visions, the trolls have a more square-like appearance and are far less intelligent, being little more than dumb brutes.
  • Trolls may be a reference to Da Orks from Warhammer 40,000, as both are a race of green skinned humanoids with large lower fangs, are skilled engineers, with technology that appears ramshackle, but functional, and a notorious obsession for war, no matter how pointless.
  • The Tech element has more Troll villains than any other element.
  • In Skylanders: Lost Islands, Fright Rider mentions in his quest that Skele-oats are made of Troll bones.
  • In Skylanders: Imaginators, Cadet Crushers are in the audience during BattleBrawl Island arena challenges.
  • According to Peebs in Nightmare Express, Trolls can't count past 7, although Lob Goblin is an exception.
  • Jawbreakers were originally going to be called "Iron Spike Trollsen", implying that they are or at least were originally going to be Trolls.
    • Despite this, however, Jawbreakers are not affected by the Sudsy Soap charm, possibly because they are not programed as trolls.
  • Each year, the Trolls celebrate one sacred day where no one is allowed to blow anything up.[3]
    • This lore is shown in a scrapped backstory video for Bomb Troll (the character who evolved into Boomer), who never believed in this holiday, which got him kicked out, but didn’t mind too much.
  • According to a scrapped Story Scroll found in Kaos' Kastle titled "Classic Trolls", While researching inter-dimensional recreation, Onk Beakman discovered something in other worlds called a "hot tub." The Trolls were determined to create such a thing themselves but in a typical fashion, failed miserably. Today only a lone smokestack remains as an artifact of this attempt.
    • The Story Scroll is a hint to the smokestack found in Troll Home Security.
