Trolls are smelly beasts who live under bridges and try to eat your bones.



A troll is someone who spams, and is always off topic, and spreads false information.

The biggest troll?

Do you mean in the Tolkienian sense? or rather a definition from the Pratchettian school of thought? Seriously, too many interpretations. Please be more accurate in your questions next time.

A troll is a fearsome member of a mythical anthropomorphic race from Norse mythology. Originally more or less the Nordic equivalents of giants, although often smaller in size, the different depictions have come to range from the fiendish giants – similar to the ogres of England (also called Trolls at times, see Troller's Gill) – to a devious, more human-like folk of the wilderness, living underground in hills, caves or mounds. In the Faroe islands, Orkney and Shetland tales, trolls are called trows, adopted from the Norse language when these islands were settled by Vikings.

Nordic literature, art and music from the romantic era and onwards has adapted trolls in various manners – often in the form of an aboriginal race, endowed with oversized ears and noses. From here, as well as from Scandinavian fairy tales such as Three Billy Goats Gruff, trolls have achieved international recognition, and in modern fantasy literature and role-playing games, trolls are featured to the extent of being stock characters.






So a troll is a fan boy who spreads stupitiy and false information to try to make their side of the spectrum look like god?
And thank you
