This genetic property of Trolls takes different turns in the big city: witness the young troll [[Brick]], for instance, whose body is a sort of dull orange-red, patterned with regular lines in a paler colour.

==Annotation==<br />
<br />
The word '''metamorphorical''' appears to be an amalgam or portmanteau of "{{wp|Metamorphic|metamorphic}}" (rock of igneous origin that has changed in structure due to time and pressure) and "{{wp|Metaphor|metaphorical}}". It seems that the trolls' crusty exterior not only ''metamorphoses'' to suit its surroundings, but also provides a ''metaphor'', or sometimes simply a ''pune'' on the character or occupation of the troll which is usually further indicated in the individual troll's name.<br />
<br />
Examples: <br />
*Tough, sharp, honest and always ready to help a compatriot in distress, [[Mr Shine]] is clearly "a diamond geezer".<br />
*[[Detritus]] is rather rough and ready.<br />
*[[Chalky]] is at the bottom of the social heap and does business with other races, he's poor white trash.<br />
*[[Hardcore]] is an unrepentant criminal.<br />
*[[Asphalt]] is a roadie.<br />
*[[Chrysoprase]] is both hard and smooth, as befits a crimelord.<br />
*Those little bits and pieces of the troll underworld who don't fit neatly int the [[Breccia]] form the [[DeBris Gang]]<br />
*It is to be hoped that Detritus' new ex-scrape-head protege will grow up to show the kind of loyalty and dependability that would cause people of an earlier age to call him "a real brick".<br />
