   All trolls have grey skin and horns colored in bands of red-orange to yellow-orange (vaguely resembling candy corn). The sclera of most trolls' eyes are the same yellow-orange color as their horn tips; however some trolls with mutations can have eyes in different colors, and which can flash and change color altogether under certain circumstances. A troll's orange eyes can become more reddened when "bloodshot" or turn completely red when damaged, for example by the sun. Many other parts of troll anatomy are black, including their hair and lips.

   Trolls' bodies are saturated with an ingredient that colors much of their internal biology, including their blood and their tears, and the position of their blood on a spectrum of colors affects various other aspects of their biology (see the hemospectrum). While troll irises are grey in youth, they also become this color in adulthood; outside of this, however, a troll's blood color is rarely visible externally, and even some inner organs such as their tongues appear as a bloodless gray.

   Anatomy

   Trolls often refer to parts of their anatomy in vague terms. The word 'stem' is used to allude to a part of the torso ("LOBE STEM") as well as to a sort of appendage, 'nub' to a troll's shoulder ("take the chip off your nub"), chest ("something that ive been meaning to get off my nub"), knee ("NUB SLAPPERS") or particularly short and blunt pair of horns, and 'frond' to mean any kind of limb or appendage ("PULLING MY FROND, A LIMP FRONDED STOOGE"). The phrase 'frond nub' has even been used to refer to what is presumably a tree.

   The term 'nook' seems to refer to any crevice or hollow in the troll body, such as a throat or stomach ("really gets stuck in your nook"), anus ("up to your nook", "his head up his nook") or heart ("FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY NOOK"). The phrase "bone nook" is also used, possibly to refer to a skull. The terms 'bulge' and 'bone bulge' are used similarly, sometimes seemingly meaning someone's head or skull "(IT DIDN'T GET THROUGH YOUR THICK BULGE???"), an appendage, or some kind of phallic sex organ (get you all off my bulge about it).

   Despite referring to it with their own terminology, much of troll anatomy seems to be similar to that of humans. Most mature trolls have four limbs and a head attached to a vertical torso (presumably supported by a spine-like structure called the torso pillar). Trolls have four fingers and a thumb on each hand and two eyes (ganderbulbs), a mouth (a chitinous windhole attached to a protein chute and/or a squawk blister) and some form of hearing organs called auricular sponge clots or HEAR DUCTS. Female trolls also have swollen pectoral masses (rumble spheres), though they do not serve a mammary purpose like human breasts do (likely due to their reproductive method: see #Reproduction and life cycle).

   Troll brains (sometimes called the 'think pan', which can also generally mean 'head' or 'mind') supposedly appear similar to human brains, and certain psychic powers are seemingly caused by mutations of the brain.

   Reproduction and life cycle

   Trolls are reproductively 8isexual, capable of forming reproductive relationships — matesprit and kismesis pairs — between any combination of sexes. Trolls provide a combinative genetic mix from these concupiscent pairings to the imperial drone, who takes it to the mother grub in the brooding caverns to be combined into one incestuous slurry. According to commentary in the Homestuck books, Andrew Hussie "believe[s] it's been implied" that this genetic material is the result of "prodigious vomiting", but references to the particulars of the troll mating ritual in the comic itself are sparse.

   A young wiggler, expected to live only one or two dozen sweeps.

   With this genetic material the mother grub lays hundreds of thousands of eggs at once. These eggs hatch into six-limbed larval trolls, called 'wigglers', which attach themselves to the cavern's stalactites to spin cocoons. Wigglers emerge from their cocoons as young trolls with two arms and two legs. After this pupation a troll is expected to go through a series of dangerous trials, of which failure means death. Surviving trolls are selected by a lusus naturae that is sympathetic to their scent, which serves as a companion throughout their life and provides young trolls with their names. After emerging from the caverns young trolls design their own hives, which are built for them by carpenter droids.

   Diet

   The troll diet seems to mostly consist of insect matter, though they can subsist on other forms of meat, and some trolls have even been known to drink milk with no apparent setbacks. Troll teeth vary greatly in shape, ranging between flat human-like incisors, vampiric fangs, consistently sharp shark-like teeth and blunted uneven fangs from individual to individual.

   Trolls have to get their stomach pumped if they eat onions; plants in the Allium family such as onions contain sulfoxides and aliphatic sulfides which are toxic to many non-human animals on Earth.

   Society and culture

   Trolls initially lived on a peaceful planet called Beforus. A glitch in a game of Sgrub played by its inhabitants, however, necessitated a scratch in order to give their race a second attempt at playing. The glitch was in actuality the calling card of Lord English, and served to allow him and his servants to appear on the planet post-scratch and manipulate the trolls for his own purposes.

   Troll society on Alternia has been influenced by Doc Scratch since the dawn of their sentience, at which point he introduced Gl'bgolyb to the planet, allowing the fuchsia caste and Her Imperious Condescension to rule over the rest of the race. Alternian trolls have placed great cultural importance on teaching children to become architecturally adept while very young, indicating that their society has been influenced in order to produce better players of Sgrub.

   Like their real-world namesakes, trolls are a generally crude and antisocial race; however in their vernacular troll is a verb that has a lot of nuance and can mean a lot of different things.. This stems from their warlike nature; many young trolls aspire to take on military roles such as THRESHECUTIONERS, CAVALREAPERS, LAUGHSASSINS, and RUFFIANNIHILATORS, all of whom aid the Condesce in the invasion of other planets across the galaxy. Their violent society is enforced by a rigid caste system whereby trolls with purple blood oppress trolls with blue blood and so on downward to the red blooded, and also by their culturally negligent upbringings, during which they are on their own save for their lusii, and are susceptible to drone attack if they fail to uphold the strict Alternian regime.

   Every troll in Alternian society is given a sign; how exactly these are assigned to the individual troll is not known, though blood color is a factor, with each caste having a huge alphabet specific to that class. Many trolls also believe that a troll from the past who shared their sign is likely to be their ancestor, and that the two are likely to have similar fates. The sign is always worn on the clothing, which is usually quite simple, as trolls think fashion is stupid. This may not have been a belief on Beforus, as the dancestors have much more varied outfits.

   Rather than the single form of romance or love practiced by humans, trolls have four quadrants, two of which serve a reproductive purpose (see reproduction and life cycle above) and two of which serve to balance the incredibly complex and, as described above, often bellicose social relationships among trolls.

   Though the language spoken by the trolls seems to be for the most part mutually intelligible with the English language spoken on Earth, it is still considered its own language, with unique quirks that differentiate it from any language of Earth. It is said that 'friend' and 'enemy' translate to the same troll word, and that trolls don't even have a word for dare; however trolls have also been seen using these words correctly on multiple occasions. It is unclear whether Homestuck employs translation convention to make troll conversations easier to understand for English-language readers, or if some of the claims made by the comic's narration or characters are incorrect or misleading. Similarly, though troll language is often depicted as written in an Alternian alphabet, it is merely a substitution cipher for English written with the Latin alphabet, and the Latin alphabet also appears across Alternia.

   One of the key features of the troll language is their use of descriptive compound phrases to replace some simple nouns; for example what would be called a 'toilet' in English is called a load gaper in troll language. However Alternia's aristocracy tend to prefer more English-like nouns, such as 'fridge' instead of thermal hull.

   Troll anatomy:

   Think pan: The brain Bone bulge: A sexual organ of some sort Nook: Likely to be a sexual organ, but could be otherwise Chitinous windhole: Trachea/windpipe Protein chute: Esophagus Auricular sponge clots: Organ in the ear Autoerogenous shame globe: Likely a sexual organ Cartilage nub: nose Lobe stem: brain stem Phlegm lobe: Some kind of throat organ Seedflap: a sex organ of some sort

   Troll homes:

   Respiteblock: Private room Hive: Home Ablution trap: Bathtub Recuperacoon: Troll equivalent to a bed; a container of a fluid called sopor slime, which helps with sleep. Sopor Slime: Helps calm trolls to sleep; should not be consumed. While humans just don't really have much use for it, slime is a substance all too familiar to the trolls of Alternia, seemingly including some of their own secretions. The most often seen form of slime on Alternia is sopor slime, though it is also frequently found in computers and other troll technology. Communal hive stem: apartment building Lawnring: yard Thermal hull: refrigerator Husktop: laptop Nutrition plateau: plate Whirling device: fan One wheel device: unicycle Three wheel device: tricycle Four wheel device: wheelchair

   Troll society:

   Lusus/Lusi: Troll equivalent to guardians Imperial Drones: Guys who come to get troll genetic material Mother Grub: Mother of all trolls; combines all genetic material brought to her to create grubs Grubs: Baby trolls Wiggler: young troll kids (presumably when they possess limbs, as opposed to a grub) (Note: a troll’s birthday is called a wriggling day, but they are called wigglers, not wrigglers!) Carpenter droids: robots that facilitate a hive’s building process Threshecutioners: one of the Empress’s lethal brigades and, indeed, one of the most lethal members in society. Weapon: sickles. Laughsassins: one of the Empress’s lethal brigades. Cavalreapers: one of the Empress’s lethal brigades. Weapon: lances. The Summoner rose up through the ranks of the Cavalreapers, assuming command of the army, which would lead a rebellion. Tavros one day hopes to be recruited as a Cavalreaper and practices his jousting just in case. Ruffiannihilators: one of the Empress’s lethal brigades. A STRONG and honorable class. Archeradicators: one of the most noble echelon the imperial forces have to offer, according to Equius. Weapon: bows and arrows. Subjugglators: exceptionally brutal enforcers of the hemospectrum in troll society to whom the Empress delegated oppression. One of the highest castes, as even bluebloods are beneath them. Gamzee is a descendant of one of the high subjugglators, the Grand Highblood. Legislacerators: prosecuting attornies who conduct investigations and seek to bring evil-doers to justice, which is brought about by executing them by hanging. Redglare was a legislacerator who was hung by her own noose, intended for Mindfang. Gamblignants: deadly marauders of ancient times with a passion for chance. They all died off because they took too many risks, however.

   12th Perigee's Eve The Troll equivalent of Christmas, occurring around the same time of the sweep/year cycle.
