idk what’s more appealing to me, trolls that LOOK super alien (insectoid, face pinchers, antenna and vestigial arms on their chests), or trolls that are basically gray humans that are completely sociologically different in every way shape and form. the first one is like, more biologically plausible given what we know about troll reproduction alone (they’re bugs! they reproduce through an ‘incestuous slurry’ and don’t have families as much as random near clones [descendants/ancestors]), but the second one is just funny as hell bc…cultural discrepancies among aliens & humans is like, my bread & butter for fanfic
