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 option to keep the baby troll as a pet later.

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. However, its name will be displayed as "Baby troll" instead of the name of the first item it has been fed. Speaking with Corporal Keymans in Burthope while the Baby troll is in a player-owned house will result in him 'finding' your pet and giving you a second one with the same name.

As it is not possible to remove a Baby troll from the menagerie while having another in inventory or as a follower, it is not known whether players can have two Baby trolls with different names.

Trivia

 * During the cutscene in the cave of Troll Warzone, right-clicking the Baby troll will give the option, "Examine Ozan".
 * 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.
 * A Baby Troll could be used to stop combat bots, such as feeding it a dragon bone and taking it to the blue dragons in Taverly dungeon, then the bots will try to take it but to will not succeed.
