Baby Troll



The Baby troll is a pet obtained in the first part of the Burthorpe tutorial, Stop Them In Their Tracks!. Like all trolls, it gets its name from the first thing it eats. Baby troll first appears in a cutscene in the caves of Troll Warzone. It crawls out from behind some rocks after the player defeats the Troll general. Ozan, who nearly shoots the Baby troll, takes pity on it and chooses to spare its life. He takes it outside the cave, where the player has the options to keep the baby troll as a pet later, to decline it, or to 'throw it down a well' to get rid of it. If declined, the player will later get another chance to keep it as pet, which the player can accept or decline. If the baby troll is later lost you can recieve another by talking to a pet store owner and asking if they have found any strays.

Using an item on it causes the Baby troll to say, "YUM! Me Like (item's name)!" If a name has not already been given, or if its name is reset, it will become that of the item, and the item will disappear. The Baby troll's name can be reset by talking to it and choosing the second option.

If an item cannot be fed to it, the Baby troll will exclaim, "(Baby troll's name) no like that!"

Players with a lot of wealth can reset the Baby troll's name and feed it an expensive item, so its left-click option becomes "Pick-up (expensive item)". Unsuspecting players who click on the troll, hoping to get said expensive item, are thus 'trolled'.

Note: Items fed to the Baby troll are lost and cannot be re-obtained; please proceed with caution when feeding it.

A Baby troll can be stored in the menagerie of a player-owned house.

If one places a baby troll in the menagerie, reclaims another and renames the new one, the troll in the menagerie also gets the new name.

Untradeable Items that can be fed to the baby troll
Note: As most untradeable items cannot be fed to the baby troll, a list of such items is not kept. Below is a list of exceptions.
 * Dwarven army axe
 * Troll general's bones
 * Troll lieutenant's bones
 * Pets (Note: Eek cannot be fed to your baby troll.)

Trivia

 * The Baby troll is the first pet with the ability to run with the player (excluding the Banner carrier, which is not a pet).
 * When interacting with the Baby Troll while it is stored in a player-owned house, its chat head lacks a pacifier which can be seen when you talk to it when it's following you.
 * If the Baby troll does not have a name, feeding it the bones of Troll General changes its name to "My own dad", while feeding it the bones of Anvil and Magic Stick changes its name to "My dad's friend".
 * The leaf on the Baby troll's head resembles that of a Pikmin from the Nintendo game Pikmin. Their running animation is also very similar.
 * There is currently a glitch, where if a player logs out in the Grand Exchange with a baby troll, it will dissapear like a familiar when logging in again. When exiting the Grand Exchange, it reappears. This has yet to be fixed.
 * The Baby troll appears similar to a Nuzleaf in Pokemon.
 * Originally a baby troll placed into the menagerie would be called "Baby troll" even if named. This was fixed on 7 February 2012.
