Qit el-Remel: Benny is so not an orc. Bright red topknot, Cute Little Fangs, three-fingered hands, gianormous earrings—not to mention the Punctuation Shaker name? She's a Blizzard troll with the serial numbers filed off. A Cutefase, but still a troll.

Azaram: Trolls are blue, though, and she's green. Her hair isn't exactly bright red, either... the band holding it in a pony tail is, but the hair itself is sort of dark purple. She does have the troll fingers and toes, though...The fangs are kind of both, maybe leaning more toward troll.

Kerrah: First of all, there are green trolls in Warcraft. Actually, they were the first kind of trolls we saw, being trainable for the Horde faction in Warcraft II. Secondly, Looking For Group does not happen in Azeroth, so it's useless to discuss things within it from a Warcraft perspective.

Charred Knight: Given the revalation that she's a half breed I am going for half orc, half troll. I also thought she might be a half breed due to the markings around her eyes.

Qit el-Remel: To Azaram, the troll in the image I linked was green, as are my troll priest and shaman in-game (admittedly, the shaman is more of a teal hue). And yes, I probably should have gone for the purple with her hair.

To Kerrah, hence "serial numbers filed off," like a lot of content in the comic. Despite the creators' protests, it's more likely than not to be the Warcraft universe from which they're cribbing shamelessly.

Kerrah: That isn't green. That's teal. THIS is a green troll. Also, I have yet to find any plot-connection between LFG and WoW.

Azaram She still looks a lot more like an orc than a troll to me, but in this comic, a dwarf says "If ye let me out, troll...". It's definitely Warcraftish, at least to start; there was even a 'loading screen' when Cale went into the Screech's portal (with the loading tip "Tip: Don't step through portals that were created by a screaming ghost and a creepy little girl. Especially by yourself. Seriously, it's not smart.") And besides, it starts off with, in order, a blood elf hunter (blond elf with gymungus eyebrows), an undead/Forsaken warlock with an imp pet, a orc troll priestess and a Tauren...something. Since they are now collaborating with dwarves, it isn't Warcraft now... but I think it was originally intended to be and changed along the way. Don't really care; it's funny however it gets there, and that's the important thing.


Kerrah: I removed the Anti-Villain comment because it wasn't true. They're heroes, deal with it.

Guest: Im just putting this out here, but she's probably a half troll/half minotaur chick generated by some sweet prison loving Krunch received...its possible.

Michael: She was called a troll in the strip, although the person who said it also offered to find some yummy dirt for her to eat so he can't be considered entirely reliable.
