Red Troll

One of the three races of Trolls.

The Red Troll, one of three races of Troll in the world of Battal, are mostly similar to their Troll cousins. Like the Yellow Troll, they are a hideously ugly tribal race who live in the Ap'str'ph' Mountains and remain at war with the 'otherthanthemselves' colored/spotted Trolls in the area. Also like the Yellow Troll their color does not seem to match their namesake, as the 'Red' Trolls appear to be orange. There is a question as to whether the person who named the Trolls could see anything at all, considering he got the Yellow Trolls wrong too. To be fair though, Red Trolls could be more of a 'reddish-orange' color and not purely red. Many conversations about the Red Troll's color go like this:

"Looks red to me..."

"More like an orange."

"I dunno, looks pretty red to me..."

"Hrm, more like an orange."

"Well... kind of 'reddish-orange' maybe."

"Sortof a - rust color, wouldn't you say?"

"Yeah, kind of a red color."

"Yep, sort of orange..."

There is a new theory, however, that may put this heated debate to rest. It proposes that the name 'Red Troll' is a misnomer (not to be confused with a Misnomer), a misinterpretation, a slip of the pen and a testament to the ridiculousness of the English language. This radical theory suggests that the name 'Red Troll' refers to the status of this race of Troll as 'well read.' Indeed, little is known about Trolleen liturature and so, untill otherwise refuted, this theory, if not widely accepted, stands on its own two theoretical feet. Colloquial evidence also exists for this theory as it does for the color theory above:

"I sure don't know, it looks rather red. Ugly, but red."

"I still say it's orange. And there isn't a darn thing that rhymes with orange."

"But would you look at that glint in his eye, seems like something's smart about him."

"There does seem to be a glint doesn't there..."

"Sure does, and he's awefully red."

"He sure is, or maybe a rust color...'

It is the sense of a special "glint in his eye" that evokes the feeling of 'well-readness' when observing a Red Troll.

Red Trolls have not appeard in canon (Yellow Troll - Book 2, Dawn of the Dark Shadows) or the popular Wizbitz cartoon series (Spotted Troll) but have popped up in Wizbits Elemenstor Battle CCG and in a few works of Fan Fiction.
