#troll science

Its 7:50 9:17 on a monday and im bored as fuck, so I have officially decided to make a massive megapost on whatever the fuck the trolls have going on. First stop: The Horns. (I'm writing this in the style of a guide made by one of the beta/alpha players to educate Earth C!)

When you look at a troll, the feature you may first recognize is a set (or pair of sets) of vibrant horns on their head. You may wonder: What is a troll horn made out of? Why are they so colorful? Or, What are they used for? In this passage I will cover the horn anatomy of a common troll.

To answer the first question, troll horns are made out of keratin - the same material that composes fingernails, hair, and you guessed it: animal horns. On the inside of a troll's horn is a core of marrow-like material the same color as the troll's blood. When a troll's horn is broken, it can either be completely pain free, or horrendously painful, all depending on where the horn is broken from. 

To answer the second question we may have to delve into speculative territory. Some scientists believe that troll horns act as a vibrant, easy-to-spot warning sign that allows them to seem inedible to would-be predators. In nature, some poisonous (and non-poisonous) organisms such as butterflies and frogs use a similar technique to avoid being eaten.

Chocolate comes from cocoa, which is a tree. That makes it a plant. Chocolate is salad.
