Albion's Ancient Enemy | Trolls | Full Fable Lore

[@Skyrionn]

You can probably tell that I scrambled for a theory this week! Was it plausable.? Could trolls be misunderstood? Also please share, like and comment! It really helps the channel

[@beowulfandstuff5547]

Could be misunderstood.

[@willphoenix7012]

While misunderstood might be a stretch (to me anyway), I do agree that the trolls aren’t evil creatures. Looking at their combat tactics, Earth troll throws rock, rock hits person, Earth troll laughs. However when you attack the Earth troll with melee, they slam on the ground as a type of self-defense. So yea, Trolls not evil; just victims of humanity. Theories are always interesting as they spark debates and questions. Keep up the awesome work man!

[@ODINSON0901]

My theory was that trolls work the same way as the hunters in halo. A hivemind of smaller bugs/worms that control and shape the earth around them into a suitable vessel.

[@Skyrionn]

Good theory! I'd love to know more about their inner workings

[@dragonhunter4592]

Honestly you missed a pretty cool idea with the chains on the Ice Troll- what if they were once used as slaves? I mean, The Old Kingdom wasn't one to slink away from using magical creatures so possibly they might have at one point enslaved a the trolls; perhaps the Ice Trolls themselves were created by the people of the Necropolis to act as a labor force or even as soldiers to defend the now ruined city.

[@radishesonmars9309]

Love the trolls, always thought it was a letdown that 3 didnt include them.

[@Skyrionn]

I felt the same. As annoying as they were, I still liked having them in the world

[@JackJonValois]

I remember when I was a little kid and went to the beach after playing fable. I covered myself in slabs of mud and dug a hole and popped out throwing balls of mud at other kids when they passed by and did the laugh until someone accidentally stepped on me.

[@drewtutor6341]

I always liked the big lugs

[@thomasbailey5047]

I think it’s a great theory! Could also be that they live solitary lives and grew more aggressive over the years do to humans encroaching on them? Like any animal would in the wild.

[@Skyrionn]

I guess the theory worked better than I thought... Thank you :D

[@VampireBabysitter]

I always imagined trolls move underground. After all, in greatwood caves there's sometimes a troll and other times not. Clearly it didn't live there or it would've already made itself known. Which means there's no evidence of whether or not trolls see each other while in the ground. And honestly, I think the idea of trolls interacting with another actually makes it more likely that they're just playing. I imagine if they did see each other, trolls would throw rocks back and forth in a game of catch, they would learn to play together in ways that are completely harmless to them but violent when they try to play with smaller creatures. Also, the way the trolls pound the ground when you get close can be interpreted as you being too close to play catch, thus they have to throw a fit like a toddler.

[@Skyrionn]

This helps the theory. I like that you're seeing the points. It seems to just make sense!

[@gdtyphon]

9:53 A lego troll. Similiar to the ice troll, these would shoot lego out of the ground and make you step on them.

[@AvariceOverlord]

To think, at one point in development these things were meant to roam the Earth.

[@arkotheuhh7297]

Yeah but found out it would be too broken

[@Skyrionn]

Imagine how terrifying that would be

[@RabidNemo]

Makes me wonder if there were once diamond/ruby / emerald trolls or maybe even Crystal that perhaps didn't survive as long due to being able to be broken but also hunted because of being precious. I imagine a will spell could probably split a diamond

[@gachawolfiestories3760]

Can you do the Lore behind the shadow Court And a theory could be - Is Teresa a member of the Shadow Court Evidence- Her Will keeps her alive and Reaver can still be Alive possibly by Will energy

[@Skyrionn]

Possibly. The only issue is that there isn't a ton of information. It's on my list for a shorter episode though

[@gachawolfiestories3760]

@@Skyrionn ok thank you for noticing my comment

[@MitchellDee17]

I hate how Fable lll took them out like Fable ll took out the Nymphs. Troll Lives Matter

[@IHateSmilingFriendsTheTVShow]

Nah nymphs used to whoop my ass on one knee but I strangely did miss them lmfao

[@cobaltprime9467]

AKA leveling fodder in Darkwood’s gate

[@AndreiGontcharov]

@Skyrionn I'm convinced about the individuality or isolation of trolls. Without a community or society or even brotherhood, trolls or any animal will struggle to learn social and survival skills, or even share experiences of encounters with various objects or other beings. Another thing I can bring up is evidence that animals, like lions etc., have "play" that is fun for them but can be dangerous for us humans. Maybe throwing boulders and stomping is what trolls naturally consider "play" among other trolls as it doesn't hurt them (as much) or endanger them but for humans it's devastating.

[@Skyrionn]

That was exactly what I was going for. This could be one of the best theories now based on the reception. I thought it was awful at first haha!

[@gingerseph9459]

I'm still waiting for a magma troll with jacks mask lol

[@cobaltprime9467]

That would be awesome

[@Skyrionn]

That would be so cool!

[@IHateSmilingFriendsTheTVShow]

Late, but there was a lava troll in fable heroes lol

[@eviladam23]

Yes little hero I am back!!

[@RabidNemo]

11:41 I almost wonder if perhaps trolls that you see in Albion have been exiled from larger groups of trolls or maybe even banished to a certain extent for being weak / the runt p

[@zakjumah]

Have you seen the Fable Legends concept art of the troll who is the married to the Blacksmith? Looks nothing like a normal troll and normal trolls were in the game as well!

[@aschdrown9687]

I had to look it up after reading your comment. I must say Daisy (the troll) seems quite lovely. Like you’ve said, she does not look like other trolls. Odd.

[@Skyrionn]

I have! I'm gutted we didn't get it

[@kingshisa8266]

Bring back the Trolls. Make fable great again.

[@baraka490]

I think all the trolls are actually golems mainly because anytime you kill one they usually drop a gem

[@Skyrionn]

That's a really good theory!

[@yaqbulyakkerbat4190]

I think the worst of them might be the feared "Internet Troll". I've only heard legend, but it says they are both ugly and belligerent to a degree that makes the others look quite loveable

[@arkotheuhh7297]

The fisherman mentions a sea troll if your fish weighs a shit ton

[@Skyrionn]

I would've loved to see one

[@leakyrexa1060]

Can you do some lore on the legendary weapons like daichi and monk that owned it it's believed that she only visited Albion once but she coincidentally died there and I think Garth recovered her weapon and other weapons too I think Garth deserves his own video

[@Skyrionn]

Absolutely. I do have a list with legendary weapons on it :D

[@leakyrexa1060]

@@Skyrionn yeah but you haven't covered the daichi and the monk that owned it if there is any information on it

[@Omnifelix]

What if “the war of the gods” is just a reference to lionheads black and white games

[@aerialmacaroon6312]

The thing I have always wondered; what did they eat to grow the different size from one to two

[@gachawolfiestories3760]

Trolls

[@RabidNemo]

I had a thought perhaps the larvae of wasps are laid into the swamp trolls p

[@sirkylelennify]

I don't really think the theory that trolls are just friendly, playful giants holds much water. Their entire strategy is to hide and blend in, and kill the unlucky travelers that stumble across them. They act the exact same while they're fighting for their life and are near death, so you'd think they'd act differently while playing a game.

[@Skyrionn]

I guess that's another way to look at it. I gave it a shot!

[@baraka490]

Golems that are a new species that take a long time to age probably don't get to live that long cuz they come across humans that just kill them yet they're probably children at the time we see them that's why you see them with a single tooth sometimes

[@dylanAlbasini]

When I was younger well playing the game I came up with the same theory great minds think alike no?Or is it fools never differ?Thank you for making such great content!

[@Effel87]

Wait I thought the weakpoints on the wood troll were beetle larvae that exploded in a shower of that acid the adult's you fight all the time like to spit at you burning the troll from the inside weakening whatever it is that holds them together.

[@therandomgaming9484]

Your videos are so good man, keep it up

[@Skyrionn]

Thanks, will do!

[@MinecraftTransformers]

I sure the two trolls in the arena {Fable 1} play catch, after closing hours.

[@Kaminkaese]

My first thought: they are the World itself. Elemental prime rage. BUT ice trolls with chains? Seems to me like they have been constructed

[@paulwolfley7785]

One of my favorite ways to make money in the first fable was farming trolls

[@Skyrionn]

I never tried that. I didn't think they would be that good for it. Makes sense why I was always so poor

[@caseyteague7636]

Skyrionn: I ask hero, which variants would you fear meeting most out in the wild? Me: Whichever ones that have seen my browsing history 😬.

[@Skyrionn]

You'll be seeking to avoid the internet trolls then...

[@christianalexandersanabria3168]

always wanted a magic troll like fire lightning or even one that’s made up of fog and can solidify to attack big also becoming vulnerable

[@Skyrionn]

Maybe in the new Fable we could get that!

[@beowulfandstuff5547]

Nice video

[@Skyrionn]

Thanks!

[@TAlyse-qj1oc]

I love the first theory! I can believe they’re misinformed and don’t know.

[@Skyrionn]

The more I think about it, the more I believe it

[@brycehubble1156]

I hope trolls are in the new fable

[@Skyrionn]

Me too.

I kinda want to hug a troll

It'll probably be the last thing you do :D

[@jamesreality7157]

@@Skyrionn I'm ok with that

[@Gundamxking1997]

Makes sense plus there native to the lands unlike humans but why the trolls don’t live together is unknown

[@syos1979]

I'd say perhaps anytime they "ambush" people it is just as a wild animal would defend itself or it's territory from foes. They dont mean to be malicious but they dont know they can try to sue for peace.

[@Gundamxking1997]

Stupid that they weren’t in 3 and that lore wise they were mostly all destroyed

[@notjimpickens7928]

So theyre basically like my boi bart the troll from witcher 3? Damn, im glad i always avoided the optional ones then, the bois just wanna have fun, i aint about to murder em over that.

[@Martin.chapman]

Who elts thinks getting avos tear or the other sword right close to the end sucks like u don't really need it if u didn't have list chapter back in day or even anniversary as the extended game only short

[@willthethrill9238]

I really hope trolls return in the new game

[@Skyrionn]

Me too. They'd be great to bring back fantasy

[@user-kf8qn9op3s]

Well, now I can't kill trolls. Thank you.

[@danielcontreras6778]

Skyrionn you shouldn't push yourself too hard for a theory, if you dons find none is ok, there is no problem, besides you can talk about a small topic or a curiosity.

[@Skyrionn]

It was a bit of a reach but the reaction to this theory seems strong. I'm feeling good about the upcoming theories for the next two weeks! Thanks for the support :D

[@aaronwinrock8164]

Both could be true... I dont like to generalize by race. Maybe there are nice trolls? But if there are we havent seen any, the ones we see in game are definitly trying to kill you. Unless they hit you they dont really look like they are having fun.

[@jacoballen9523]

Hated trolls in fable 2

[@joshuastrickland5264]

I think that you might be on to something. Lol. This is not what the developers had in mind (most likely) but it's a possibility. What if they are just playing really aggressive tag. Lol

[@Undeadaccount]

Lava troll....

[@Gundamxking1997]

The weakest and stupidest design of troll is the fable 2 troll at least the way they made you fight them anyway shooting them with guns in larvae while standing back and rolling out of the way is pretty easy I mean

[@VodkaBlood-jo7vf]

Cute theory, but no!
