Wild trolls meander the underground and attack dwarves who approach or provoke them (or at least are supposed to, but currently don't {{bug|10031}}). Many of them are enslaved/absorbed by goblins during world generation and become their servants, inhabiting their [[dark pit]]s in truly huge numbers (sometimes enough to cause overwhelming lag {{bug|7526}}) and aiding their smaller masters in their battles against other races. Goblins [[Shearer|shear]] trolls for their fur, making them the evil race's equivalent of [[sheep]]. As they are intelligent (although incapable of speech), civilized trolls may gain non-military professions among goblin society. In a modded game, they may be usable in the dwarven [[textile industry]], but you can't change their labors, due to a bug. | Wild trolls meander the underground and attack dwarves who approach or provoke them (or at least are supposed to, but currently don't {{bug|10031}}).

| − | Trolls will almost certainly appear accompanying goblins when they siege your fortress. They are quite tough and have a variety of different ways to cause injury to your dwarves due to their humanoid bodies and large tusks. Since they only rarely wear [[armor]] (when appearing as helpers of [[goblin christmas|Goblin Claus]]), they will be easy targets for a decently-skilled squad of axedwarves, though [[silk]]-wearing trolls can complicate things, if [[copper]] and [[silver]] are the only [[Weapon#Superior metal rule|weapons-grade metals]] your fortress has available. Trolls can and will [[Wrestling|wrestle]] your dwarves, which can lead to some broken bones in your military. Unlike goblins, trolls are natural [[swim]]mers, which could be a problem for a fortress relying on a moat for defense, or using a drowning chamber or underground lake as a means of administering dwarven justice. Trolls can [[climb]], so it is possible for them to get to level one of a cavern through [[deep pit]]s and access your fortress to <s>crush the heads | + | Trolls will almost certainly appear accompanying goblins when they siege your fortress.

Trolls notably possess cyan-colored [[blood]] (possibly [[wikipedia:Hemocyanin|hemocyanin]]-based). Their behavior as a servant race of goblins is done via the combination of the {{token|EVIL}} and {{token|SLOW_LEARNER}} creature tokens and the fact they live underground; through modding, players can create their own subterranean goblin servants who will accompany trolls in battle by giving their race these two tokens. Unlike gremlins, they cannot become [[pet]]s of citizens. | Trolls notably possess cyan-colored [[blood]] (possibly [[wikipedia:Hemocyanin|hemocyanin]]-based).
