Tethis is presumably unique -- he fell off another world and thawed out near Discworld. I doubt there's another sea troll anywhere on the Disc (unless the inhabitants of Bathys have a habit of falling off their homeworld and getting caught in the Disc's orbit). Of course, that raises the question: if there's only one of him, why bother with a species designation!

Since Trolls have diamond teeth, is there then a reason to think that diamonds are not considered the precious stone on the Disc? For instance, why didn't Brick have a couple of teeth removed to pay for his habbits? --Megahurts 08:24, 19 March 2010 (UTC) link title
Sea Trolls
What about the Sea Trolls? I only have seen them mentioned in the TCOM.

Tethis is presumably unique -- he fell off another world and thawed out near Discworld. I doubt there's another sea troll anywhere on the Disc (unless the inhabitants of Bathys have a habit of falling off their homeworld and getting caught in the Disc's orbit).

Make this a category?
Should this be a category so that we can automatically get a list of known trolls by editing their pages? Kellyterryjones 23:49, 26 January 2008 (CET)
- You mean a Troll category containing the Troll article and Category:Troll characters? We don't do that for anybody else, do we? --Old Dickens 01:38, 27 January 2008 (CET)...actually, we do for Wizards and Witches but not Dwarves or Humans. Consistency is nice, but I wonder what problems will turn up as a result? The Trolls article, e.g., could be pasted to the top of Category:Troll characters and then turned into a redirect. Would changing the category to match "Witches" require fixing all the individual links, or can a category be redirected? --Old Dickens 16:55, 27 January 2008 (CET)
OK, it can. So how is this any better at finding Trolls than the current Category:Troll characters? --Old Dickens 16:55, 27 January 2008 (CET)
Didn't know that category existed. I've added a link to it from this page so people can find it easier. That's good enough for me! Kellyterryjones 21:23, 27 January 2008 (CET)
Matt Smith vs. Mr. Kidby
Some of the text underneath the image of the troll heads: "Troll heads, as drawn by Matt Smith, with a deep nod to the far more talented Mr Kidby" I cannot imagine a more biased sentence. Can I have a second opinion on this? (unsigned comment by Xylozex, 13 April 2011)
- Sure. You're a troll and Knmatt can be biased toward Paul Kidby if he likes. --Old Dickens 03:52, 14 April 2011 (CEST)
