Don't smother your Troll Dragon too much. They're a bit - well, let's call them shy. When they're not brooding in their habitats, they like to lie in wait under bridges, occasionally popping out to nick fruit from the carts of farmers passing by.
More than anything else, Troll Dragons like to tease the other dragons in their habitat. Troll Dragons drive their neighbors to the brink of frustration by poking them from behind, then flying off, leaving them wondering what happened. This will repeat until the dragons become irate.
Adult Form
Epic Form
Sure, Troll Dragons have their quirks, but they'll warm up to you after a time. You just need to be firm with your dragon - be sure to teach it right from wrong, and teach it to not be a pest to dragons who anger easily. After a while, it will become loyal.
Epic Troll Dragons are clever. TOO clever. They can pull pranks on the best of caretakers. You don't want to be around when an Epic Troll Dragon decides to play a prank on you. Keep your Epic Troll Dragon as happy as possible, and maybe recommend other targets for its mischief. Like Rex. He deserves it.
By breeding two dragons that collectively contribute Green and Black to the type pool. If a parent has the appropriate minor types, missing requirements may also be added to the pool, even if neither parent has the originally required types. Minor types that have been split from other minor types can also contribute their component types to the type pool.
DISCLAIMER: When attempting to breed the Troll Dragon, you may get other offspring instead. Check the Breeding Calculator to view all of the possible results of combining a particular pair of parents.
Parents Behavior[]
The Troll Dragon has special behavior when it is used as a breeding parent. Unlike dragons with only basic types, it will obey the following rules:
When the Black type is alone in the pool, it will add pure dragons of its component types (Blue and Purple) to the list of possible outcomes, but it will not split into its component types. When Black is included in the pool along with one or more other types, the Black type can split into Blue and Purple. However, if it is split, then Black is no longer in the pool for the duration. Thus, the presence of Black in a pool will either add the Black type if it does not split or the Blue and Purple types if it does split. There is one exception to this rule, and that is when both parents possess the Black type. In this case, Black can contribute both itself and its split colors at the same time.
Although the Black type can split into Blue and Purple for breeding purposes, it still only counts as one type. This is important when considering the number of types for type-amount-dependent dragons such as the Diamond Dragon. Breeding a Light Dragon with a Troll Dragon only counts as three types: White, Green, and Black.
Notes[]
The Troll Dragon's design is based upon the Wild Dragon's, although there are differences between the two.
A Troll is a humanoid being of varying size that appears on norse mythology and has many possible appearences. Trolls mentioned in modern fairytales are said to live under bridges and guard them, only letting pass those who know the solution for a riddle.
