Description: A Discworld Troll is, in very simple terms, a large moving humanoid-shaped piece of rock that can think. The rock of which a troll is made can vary enormously, and often Trolls take their name from the kind of rock, for example Chalky.

The other very important thing to know about trolls is that they are very prone to overheating. The higher the temperature, the more stupid the troll. This can be alleviated somewhat by finding somewhere cold, but there is always the danger that if it gets too cold the troll will freeze to death...

Trolls have adapted well to life in Ankh-Morpork. They quickly realised that humans are a lot squishier than trolls, and tend to work as splatters (like a bouncer, but with more force), guards, bodyguards and Big Shapes That Look Intimidating. One troll to be very careful of is Chrysophase?. If Trolls had an equivalent to the Mafia (which, as they keep telling everyone, they don't), he'd be the leader of it.

Homeland: Ankh-Morpork?, The Ramtop Mountains?, Uberwald?
