Troll Kid

Troll Kid is the name given to the young Troll who appears as a minor protagonist in VARULV, Book I (Issues 1 - 4). His real name is unknown and remains so throughout his appearances in the series, so he is commonly referred to by the author as "Troll Kid" as a means of separating him from other minor Troll characters.

Troll Kid was found by Kjell after the Ulven chased down a Firedrake. Though unable to speak in Human language, Troll Kid took an immediate liking to the Blaidfästt pack, and Kjell especially. When Kjell was injured in a fight with Vicar Wilander, Troll Kid brought him to a safe location in the woods so that he could avoid being captured with the rest of his pack. It was then revealed that the Summoner's Crosier, which had been around his neck, was the thing responsible for controlling the Firedrake, in essence allowing Troll Kid to summon and take control of the beast at the expense of his own consciousness.

Utilizing the drake, Troll Kid played an important role in reclaiming the village until he was captured by the Vicar and held hostage. When Wilander attempted to use black magick against Kjell, Troll Kid selflessly pushed his own body in front of the blast. Before his death, he bequeathed the Summoner's Crosier to Kjell, who used it to defeat Wilander. Troll Kid's body was retrieved by Gro'raan who took him back to his home village to be put to rest.
