    The biggest perk about Trolls though is their innate regenerative ability.    


     
    I never knew that about trolls.  I always thought they were just short, ugly creatures that live under bridges.  Or people in forums like me.

    The regenerative thing started in Dungeons and Dragons back in the day. That might be taken from actual mythology, not sure.

    Orcs are a race of green skinned humanoid creatures that are strong, dumb, like to engage in war, and are specific to WarCraft. 
    An ogre is a general term for a strong, dumb, humanoid creature.  When I hear ogre, I think of Gigante from Resident Evil 4.

    I'll admit sometimes he is funny.  I think his avatar annoys me more than anything else.

    I could PM you a list if you want. Oh you mean those type of trolls? Yeah trolls have been noted for their regenerative abilities (mainly in RPGs), their durability makes up for their lack of special abilities typically.

    A troll is a somewhat foul and repulsive humanoid with regenerative abilities, though lacking the brute strength of an Orc or an ogre or the speed of a goblin or kobold. They lack intelligence, but are capable of using most weapons, though they tend to favor clubs. They are weak to fire, as it interferes with their regeneration. Armor class 12.

    A troll is the pre-evolved form of the Ogre. 

    as most trolls never seem to age, they never evolve. 
     
    The ogre is an ascended troll, who is able to not only hide his identity, but cause ACTUAL DAMAGE.

    @Andorski: Hell yes there is!
    Ogres are like a smaller version of giants and orcs are tortured, twisted and fell elves. Different lores say otherwise for both mythological creatures but my description is pretty common among fantasy lore.
     
    Man! My nerdiness is bubbling over right now.

    i have been called a troll before  :P 
    they can either be blue, green, or sometimes red.  they throw axes, and they always regenerate health for some reason 
     
    or if you want an internet troll  it can be one of two things 
    some dude who likes to piss guys off in forums, and to start pointless arguments with nothing to back them up 
    orrr, it can be just some dude arguing against what some other guy believes is right, and so is labeled troll for rocking the boat
