'''Trolls''' were creatures from [[Earth]] myths and legends. They were especially popular in [[Iceland]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Hunting Ground (audio story)|The Hunting Ground]]'') Trolls existed in the [[Land of Fiction]]. Some of them were [[Cyber-conversion|converted]] into [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Legend of the Cybermen (audio story)|Legend of the Cybermen]]'') The [[Fomoir]] of [[Tír na n-Óg]] resembled trolls by design. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark]]'') The name was also used as an insult; [[Susan Foreman]] called {{Delgado}} a troll. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Legacy of the Daleks (novel)|Legacy of the Daleks]]'') | |||
[[Sontaran]]s were often compared to trolls in terms of appearance. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Time Warrior (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Time Warrior]]'', ''[[The Eight Doctors (novel)|The Eight Doctors]]'') [[Winston Churchill]] described [[Brak (Old Soldiers)|Brak]], a stranded Sontaran held captive by [[UNIT]], as a troll. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Old Soldiers (BBV audio story)|Old Soldiers]]'') [[Nyssa]] called them "a race of troll-like warmongers," and [[Tegan Jovanka]] said they looked like "stumpy, cross-eyed trolls." ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Heroes of Sontar (audio story)|Heroes of Sontar]]'') When the [[Tenth Doctor]] engaged contact with [[General]] [[Staal]] during the [[Sontaran invasion of Earth]], [[UNIT]] [[Colonel]] [[Alan Mace]] likened the appearance of the Sontaran to that of a troll. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Poison Sky (TV story)|The Poison Sky]]'') | |||
Trolls also formed the basis for a popular brand of [[toy]]s on Earth. When she was a child, [[Jo Grant]] had "an army of [[gonk]]s and trolls" but even then found dolls creepy. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Doll of Death (audio story)|The Doll of Death]]'') | |||
The [[Sixth Doctor]] described the [[Vilal]] as being "troll-like". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Quicksilver (audio story)|Quicksilver]]'') | |||

[[Peri Brown]] called the [[Javaman]] "[an] ugly little troll." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Turnabout is Fair Play (short story)|Turnabout is Fair Play]]'') | |||
Trolls appeared in ''[[The True History of Planets]]''. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Mad Dogs and Englishmen (novel)|Mad Dogs and Englishmen]]'') | |||
