6!Rock Trolls
7
8[[folder:In General]]
9* {{Badbutt}}: Rock Trolls are an incredibly intense tribe of aggressively confrontational attitudes, but they still react with shock to the same FauxHorrific things most other tribes would, or an accidental middle finger from Thrash.
10* TheDitz: Most of them show this trope at different levels, but special mention goes to Sid Fret, who can't distinguish Rock fashion and lyrics at all. Much of the time, it's mentioned that they only show a decent capability in their areas of particular knowledge or expertise (for instance, Sid's roadie occupation).
11* {{Hipster}}: ''Very'' late into Barb's scheme, the Rock Trolls realize that if everyone is cool and heavy rock, then that will make them less cool and heavy rock since what they adore will be the mainstream.
12* IconicSequelCharacter: Like most other Troll Tribes introduced after the Pop Trolls, they've only been around since the second movie, and yet are considered fundamental to the franchise.
13* RebelliousSpirit: A big part of rock culture is a rebellious attitude (how that works with a monarchy is anyone's guess), which is most often expressed by [[CommanderContrarian dissenting jeers at event announcements]]. Poppy experiences this firsthand in the ''[=TrollstTopia=]'' episode "Trollvial Pursuit".

17->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RachelBloom (second movie and ''[[WesternAnimation/TrollsHolidayInHarmony Holiday In Harmony]]''), Becky Robinson (''VideoGame/TrollsRemixRescue'')
18[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trolls_world_tour_queen_barb.jpg]]
19 [[caption-width-right:350:''"By the end of my World Tour, we're all gonna have the same vibe. We're all gonna be one nation of Trolls... under Rock!"'']]
20
21The antagonistic Queen of the Hard Rock Trolls. Queen Barb has the strength and grace of Music/JoanJett, the no-holds barred attitude of Wendy O. Williams, and the sassy swagger of [[Music/{{Blondie|Band}} Deborah Harry]].
22----
23* AffablyEvil: She treats her fellow rock trolls like family, loves her aging father, and even comes off as friendly to the trolls whose strings she aims to steal from (without counting her few insults towards their genres, and even then they're not rather harsh).
24* BigBad: The main antagonist of the second movie.
25* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Barb's voice actress Rachel Bloom describes her as such, though she has never actually shown any actual.
26* CaretakerReversal: Barb frequently dotes on her aging Dad.
27* CausticCritic: During the events of ''Trolls World Tour'' this electric-guitar-toting troll has had harsh words on the other trolls' music, saying Techno isn't real music, Classical music is "boring" because there's no words, and Pop music is "bland, repetitive, the lyrics are empty and it crawls into your head like an earworm!". [[spoiler:However, she pretty much gave up on this by the end of the movie.]]
28* ChainsawGood: Barb trashes her Angler Bus by slicing a couch in half via chainsaw. She apparently does this often because there are repair seams, and a Rock Troll in the couch doesn't flinch from reading his book when Barb reveals his hiding spot.
29* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Barb is the opposite of Chef in many terms.
30** Whereas Chef was the aged, resentful former royal chef to the ruling family of Bergen Town who [[spoiler:sought to overthrow King Gristle Jr.]] out of revenge for his father scapegoating and exiling her twenty years prior for the Pop Trolls escaping their kingdom, Barb is the young, devil-may-care queen of the Hard Rock Trolls who seeks to forcefully unify all the troll tribes under her music by destroying their respective genres so that only rock music remains.
31** Chef was a ManipulativeBitch who opted to hide her goals behind the facade of wanting to atone for her past failures and make her people happy once more, while Barb was all too honest with what she wanted to do with the strings of the other troll tribes.
32** While Chef immediately established herself as a threat to Poppy by kidnapping her friends and usually did her own dirty work, Barb never properly interacted with Poppy before the final act of the sequel, up until which point she had relied on bounty hunters to locate Poppy and bring her to Barb with the Pop trolls' string.
33** Chef [[spoiler:wanted to rule over the Bergens for the sake of power and respect]], which left her with little-to-no redeeming factors, while Barb was only trying to wipe out all non-Rock music in a [[WellIntentionedExtremist misguided attempt]] to bring peace and unity to all trolls; she eventually learns her lesson and [[HeelFaceTurn changes for the better]].
34* DaddysGirl: Even though he's grown hazy and senile Barb has great affection and respect for her father.
35* DelinquentHair: In a new take on the iconic standing troll hair, Barb has a mohawk.
36* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Barb knows how wrong it was for the ancient Pop Trolls to try and take over all music, yet still thinks turning trollkind hard rock is for the best. Clearly, all she understands from history is that ''pop'' shouldn't rule the world, but "real music" like rock can.
37* EarNotch: Half of her left ear seems to have been torn off.
38* EasilyForgiven: By the end of the movie, even after turning over a leaf, no one holds it against her that she tried to force unity over the Trolls tribe by brainwashing them with rock. Granted, as she instigated the events that led to the tribes unifying peacefully.
39* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: {{Gender Flip}}ped; Barb adores her Daddy like no one else.
40* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:When Poppy destroys the strings, she is rightfully furious with her. She wanted to unite music under Hard Rock, not destroy it completely.]]
41* EvilCounterpart: She's basically Poppy's ShadowArchetype; both of them are queens of different breeds of Trolls who are surrounded by sycophants and only wish to unite all of trollkind. The only major difference is that while Poppy is ObliviouslyEvil, tending to ignore people's differences and her friend's objections if they conflict with her SugarBowl worldview, Barb is more [[CardCarryingVillain self-aware]] about it, knowing that she is surrounded by dishonest sycophants and tries erasing everyone's differences by force.
42* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: After taking Poppy's mailed response of "friendship" as a threat and [[spoiler:given the Pop Trolls were previously a threat to all Tribes and thus considered "evil"]], Barb finds the Pop Troll's appearance hilarious, pointing out that she's a full centimeter taller than Poppy.
43* FriendToAllChildren: During "Crazy Train", Barb gives some attention to a Rock Troll child (named Amp in supplementary material); when Barb's guitar creates huge red fireworks, the delighted child's creates tiny lightning bolts.
44* FriendlessBackground: The Rock Trolls are constantly at Barb's command and comrade with her which Barb plays along with, but she admits she knows it's only because she's their queen.
45* GirlGroup: After all is forgiven Barb yells to her 'pal' Carol that with Poppy they can have a Girl Group! Carol is psyched.
46* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:By the end of the film, she abandons the plan for conquest and learns to accept others for who they are and what music they like, as everyone else does the same, and accepts Poppy's friendship without hesitation.]]
47* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Beneath it all, it is pretty clear that she sees her position as queen to be isolating, mocking Poppy's olive branch for being as simple as "let's be friends" and tries and fails to goad her groupies into camaraderie.
48* InvincibleVillain: Like with the Bergens, defeating Barb in a straight fight is nigh-impossible as she not only has a massive and well-equipped army that only the Funk Trolls have an equivalent for, but she's smart enough to know how to use it efficiently. It takes the apparent [[spoiler:destruction of all music]] to take the fight out of her.
49* LargeHam: True to her music genre, she maintains a massive presence wherever she goes.
50* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Barb adores Debbie, the hairy white bat who acts as a messenger pigeon. During a tantrum when Barb is about to chainsaw a couch she takes a beat to move Debbie from the danger before returning to carnage.
51* MadArtist: Evil intentions laid out, Barb still puts on wicked show.
52* TheNicknamer: She calls Poppy "Pipsqueak", "Popsqueak" and "Popcorn". She also calls Branch "Boytoy".
53* NotSoDifferentRemark: Barb states that despite their 'taste in music, clothes and general lifestyle', she and Poppy are similar in spirit. They're both both queens who are under the pressure of ruling, and struggle with [[LonelyAtTheTop the line between "friend" and "subject"]].
54* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Genuinely thinks she's doing everyone a favor by uniting all Trolls under Rock, but a lot of her dialogue reveals she's mostly heisting the strings so she can do something impressive to live up to her new role as queen.
55* PinkMeansFeminine: Subverted. She might look greyish, but she's actually muddy red/dark pink. And in constrast to the more pink Poppy, she's more tomboyish.
56* ThePowerOfRock: In this case, Barb's loud music can topple homes and oceanic reefs.
57* RottenRockAndRoll: She's the queen of Hard Rock (and its many variants), and is the BigBad of ''World Tour''. This is obviously averted in all of her appearances after the movie.
58* TheRockStar: Credit to Rachel Bloom's acting and the animators for Barb's electric passion.
59* SmugSmiler: Regularly has a sneer as a reference to Music/ElvisPresley, the King of Rock.
60* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Poppy's girly girl.
61* WellIntentionedExtremist: She tried to eradicate all music other than her own because she believed the Trolls would never live in harmony with each other so long as there was more than one kind of music.

65->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KaranSoni

68
69Barb's beanie-wearing drummer.
70----
71* AllDrummersAreAnimals : At one point, he hit his drums with his face.
72* ArmorPiercingQuestion: He winds up giving one to Barb in pointing out how her plan may unite all the Troll Tribes under Rock, but in doing so will rob her own tribe of their individuality and what makes them unique.
73--> '''Riff''': If we all look the same, act the same, dress the same, how will anyone know we're cool... or something?\
74''(Barb and the Rock trolls begin to look unsure as the realization sets in)''
75* EveryoneHasStandards: When he sees the effects of the ultimate power chord on the Troll monarchs, he's taken aback and concedes to Poppy's point that everyone being the same isn't a good thing.
76* EyeObscuringHat: He wears a beanie cap that covers his eyes. He has to move it in order to make his eyes visible, though he otherwise doesn't seem to have any vision problems with it.
77* EyesOutOfSight: He always has his eyes obscured by his beanie cap. The only time they're exposed in some way is when he peeks his right eye out of the beanie.
78* TheIntern: He claims that he's working for Barb so that he can get college credit.
79* PunchClockVillain: His aforementioned college credit implication makes him this.
80* WheelchairAntics: Riff backs Thrash's wheelchair in reverse when they expect Barb to go in a fury.
81[[/folder]]
82
83[[folder:King Thrash]]
84->'''Voiced by''': Music/OzzyOsbourne

88The retired king of the Rock Trolls, who is wheelchair-ridden and hazily happy to watch his daughter Barb rock and rule.
89----
90* CanCrushingCranium: After drinking his "fiber" juice, he crushes the box against his head.
91* CaretakerReversal: Barb is patient and loving with her father at all times.
92* CoolOldGuy: He's the retired king of the Rock Trolls, and even while being old, wheelchair-bound, and senile, he still knows how to rock out.
93* ExtraordinaryWorldOrdinaryProblems: King Thrash is a member of a race of magical trolls in a very magical world, but he is still afflicted by senescence. He is wheelchair-bound and is implied to be going senile with his daughter needing to take care of him.
94* FogOfDoom: When exiting from the restroom, Thrash has a smoke and fog show.
95* GuiltyPleasure: Thrash likes Poppy's friendly letter to his daughter and hums the "Trolls Just Wanna Have Fun" message from the card. Barb is horrified at this, and quickly tries to get his mind off it.
96* MightyGlacier: The Rock Trolls patiently wait for him to bend his fingers in the "sign of the horns". At one point he believes he's done it, and Riff gently flicks his old fingers up to finish the gesture.
97* MundaneMadeAwesome: Him exiting the bathroom is accompanied by a smoke show and fire.
98* RetiredBadass: He's the former king of the volcano-living Rock trolls. On a sweet note, Barb respects him as an idol.
99* ScatterbrainedSenior: Thrash exhibits forgetfulness that suggests the onset of senility.
100* TechnoWizard: Still in charge of the pyrotechnics of Barb's concert.
101* WheelchairAntics: Riff backs Thrash's wheelchair in reverse when they expect Barb to go in a fury.
102* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: He supports Barb through her world domination plot and is comforting, even when things don't work out her way.

105[[folder:Carol]]
106->'''Voiced by''': Marcella Lentz-Pope
107[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trolls_world_tour_carol.jpg]]
108 [[caption-width-right:350: ''"A girl group? Nice!"'']]
109
110A Rock Troll "friend" in Barb's entourage.
111----
112* AloofAlly: Barb insists that Carol is her friend, even though she doesn't seem to care. She does react with excitement at the end when Barb tells her that they can form a girl group with Poppy, though.
113* LazyBackup: Like the rest of Barb's tour; after they do Barb's bidding, they tend to lounge about her Angler Bus.
114* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She's seen eating spray cheese in almost all her scenes.
115[[/folder]]
116
117[[folder:Debbie the Bat]]
118[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trolls_world_tour_debbie.jpg]]

124%%zce* FishEyes
125* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Debbie is a hairy bat. Debbie Hairy. [[Music/{{Blondie|Band}} Deborah Harry]].
126[[/folder]]
127
128!Country Trolls
129
130[[folder:In General]]
131* TheCynic: Unlike the other kinds of trolls who's music are used as different forms of escapism, their music is more grounded, their EstablishingCharacterMoment being Delta singing a song about life's inherent sadness and arresting Poppy, Branch and Biggie for doing a pop ballad, calling it a "crime against music."
132* OurCentaursAreDifferent: These trolls resemble centaurs more than any other troll.
133[[/folder]]
134
135[[folder:Delta Dawn]]
136[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8f57d9ac_e74d_4eff_90e6_5c819a07c8e6.png]]
137->'''Voiced by''': Music/KellyClarkson (second movie), Jenny Mermelstein (''[[WesternAnimation/TrollsHolidayInHarmony Holiday In Harmony]]'')
138
139The Mayor of the Country Trolls who takes pride in her dry way of life.
140----
141* CelebrityResemblance: Her large, bright red hair and blue eyes make her look Music/RebaMcEntire.
142* CountryMouse: The Mayor of the Country Trolls.
143* RealWomenHaveCurves: Her large hips and bust make her one of the most full-figured trolls shown in the franchise.
144* TheSheriff: Also the apparent sheriff of Lonesome Flats.
145* SongOfSolace: Introduced singing ''Born To Die'', a song about the hardship and eventual end of life that Country Trolls just try to endure while taking comfort in each other.
146* WildHair: Subverted. Her tall hair has silk curls, not unlike Marie Antoinette.
147[[/folder]]
148
149[[folder:Clampers Buttonwillow]]
150-->'''Voiced by''': Betsy Sodaro
151
152Delta Dawn's niece.
153----
154* BuzzsawJaw: A variation; Clampers has multiple rows of teeth in concentric circles that she uses to gnaw her way through plants and terrain. Fortunately for Branch, against troll skin it just tickles.
155* GirlishPigtails: Rather big ones that point straight up.
156* HeroWorshipper: She enjoys poking in and out of Delta's hair and imitates her aunt's words.
157* ExtremeOmnivore: She'd happily chew up a scrapbook if they let her.
158* NowThatsUsingYourTeeth: Her teeth spin like a mower and can bite through the quilt earth.
159* WildChild
160[[/folder]]
161
162[[folder:Growley Pete]]
163-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson
164A Country troll who can make his mustache grow.
165
166----
167* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: He was was assigned to guard the jail that Poppy, Branch and Biggie were put it, by the time Hickory breaks the door off, Pete is fast asleep.
168* PokemonSpeak: He usually just says different variations of the word "growl".
169
170[[/folder]]
171
172!Classical Trolls
173
174[[folder:In General]]
175* HatesBeingTouched: Trollstopia shows that on the whole they don't like hugging, even as babies, preferring to bow instead.
176* IconicSequelCharacter: Like most other Troll Tribes introduced after the Pop Trolls, they've only been around since the second movie, and yet are considered fundamental to the franchise.
177* OurAngelsAreDifferent: These trolls have fly-shaped wings and live high in mountains just about touching clouds. Given their small and pudgy appearance, they're closer to the {{Putto}} of Classical art.
178* PintsizedPowerhouse: They're physically on average the smallest of all trolls but, even while flying, they can carry things many times their weight.
179* YoungerThanTheyLook: Their putto cherub appearance makes them nearly indistinguishable from their babies besides size. If situations like Minuet is common, they fly so often that they're unused to walking, and look like a toddler doing it.
180[[/folder]]
181
182[[folder:Trollzart]]
183[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c4fab0a5_d5cf_4854_9889_6e7bad4a9f4f.png]]
184
185-->'''Voiced by''': Gustavo Dudamel
186
187The Conductor of the Classical Music trolls. Sensitive and proud, this troll leader sadly had the least screentime of all the tribes.
188----
189* BadassBoast: He gives a pretty good one on behalf of his people when Queen Barb attacks.
190--> We will '''not go quietly!'''
191** Subverted, sadly, as Barb beats them in a about a minute.
192* FatAndProud: All Classical trolls are quite plump, and Trollzart is very dignified.
193* {{Onomatopoeia}}: While conducting with the Classical String in his baton, music notes are visible in the air.
194[[/folder]]
195
196[[folder:Pennywhistle]]
197-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/CharlyneYi
198[[quoteright:328:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cutelittletoottoot.png]]
199
200A sentient flute with a soft voice.
201----
202* ADogNamedDog: A pennywhistle (also called a tin whistle) named Pennywhistle.
203* AnimateInanimateObject: She's a talking flute, and the only sentient instrument in the franchise so far .
204* TheCutie: She's so adorable.
205* DarkAndTroubledPast: Downplayed at first then played straight. She was a traveler who stumbled upon Symphonyville and the Classical trolls adopted her but it all went downhill when Queen Barb destroyed Symphonyville and kidnapped the trolls. By the time Queen Poppy and her friends arrive, Pennywhistle is scared and traumatized.
206* {{Determinator}}: She stays behind to fix Symphonyville. Even if she is the only to do so, has no hands, and is incredibly small.
207* ShrinkingViolet: She is a mild-mannered, meek little flute who speaks softly and is quite scared when Poppy, Branch and Biggie arrive, even asking them if they're nice or mean before she shows herself to them. Justified, as she was still traumatized by the Rock Trolls abducting the Classical Trolls.
208* SmallRoleBigImpact: She appears when Poppy arrives at the now-destroyed Symphonyville and tells her about Barb's plans for the strings. This causes Poppy to change her plans from befriending Barb to stopping her and seeing her as a real threat. Pennywhistle stays behind to fix the city by herself, and only makes brief appearances for the rest of the movie.
209[[/folder]]
210
211!Funk Trolls (UNMARKED SPOILERS)
212
213[[folder:In General]]
214* AchillesHeel: Their flying city is powered by a single, unguarded electrical outlet that's [[TheKeyIsBehindTheLock plugged outside of it.]]
215* BubbleGun: One prominent example of Funk Troll technology is remote control bubble technology.
216* FourFingeredHands: They go a step further and are sometimes depicted as having only three fingers.
217* FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter: Some members are quadrupeds while others are bipeds. Though the former don't have a problem using their forelimbs to manipulate tools. Notably, they use their four legs to pull off complicated dance moves other trolls can't do.
218* HigherTechSpecies: They have the most advanced technology in the entire setting, functionally living in a terrestrial spaceship.
219* IconicSequelCharacter: Like most other Troll Tribes introduced after the Pop Trolls, they've only been around since the second movie, and yet are considered fundamental to the franchise.
220* LongNeck: A notable tribal trait are their long necks, coming from being based on a giraffe "Trollimal" toy.
221* MellowFellow: Their most defining trait.
222* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: When the Rock trolls come to destroy their music and capture their people, the Royal Family don't even hesitate to arm themselves, and lead their people into battle.
223* ThinkingUpPortals: One of the advanced sciences mastered by Funk Trolls is the ability to open wormholes at will to a desired location. They use this to quickly travel anywhere throughout the universe or [[DimensionalTraveler even the multiverse]].
224* {{Ultraterrestrials}}: Funk trolls have all the aesthetics of ultra advanced space aliens but are native to the same planet as the other tribes.
225* WalkingSpoiler: Their existence exposes the fact that Cooper isn't actually a Pop Troll, hence why they're excluded in most of the merchandise for ''Trolls World Tour''. They still had plenty of merchandise for following installments, though.
226[[/folder]]
227
228[[folder:King Quincy and Queen Essence]]
229[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d063a1d6_22e2_4678_a3ee_6a04cae55634.jpeg]]
230-->'''King Quincy voiced by''': Music/GeorgeClinton\
231'''Queen Essence voiced by''': Music/MaryJBlige
232----
233* CoveredInKisses: Cooper gets a face full of blue-lipstick kisses from his mom, the smile is adorable.
234* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: Both have added layers of tinsel in their fur (golden for Quincy and silver for Essence, respectively). Quincy has a star earring, like his son Prince D, and a golden cape, shades and toerings for his frontal feet. Not jewelry in Essence's case, but she sparkles with silver glitter around her eyes and her star-crown.
235* GoodParents: Their relationship with Prince D shows to be affectionate and mutually supportive.
236* HollywoodGenetics: Quincy has a purple fur color and Essence has a blue one, but both of their sons have pink fur.
237* IWillFindYou: After Cooper's egg got snatched away they never stopped looking for him until they found him.
238* SoUnfunnyItsFunny: King Quincy's 'Dad Joke' was admittedly lame but Cooper loves his hearing it and Prince D gave his Dad a high-five (not clear if he thinks it's actually funny or he just likes his dad's attempt).
239[[/folder]]
240
241[[folder:Prince D]]
242[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/71c6b577_6fd6_43b9_a339_0c75a8b0d5c1.png]]
243-->'''Voiced by''': Anderson Paak
244Cooper's twin brother and son of the Funk Trolls royalty. He identifies as a Hip Hop Troll.
245----
246* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: Has a sparkling staring earring and gold beads in his dreads. His royal family has added gold fringes between the layers of their fur.
247* HollywoodGenetics: He has pink fur, which neither of his parents have.
248* MamasBoy: Implied. While Darnell is close with both of his parents, he seems to have a closer bond with his mother. During "Just Sing" Queen Essence approaches him to put their heads together as a sign of affection.
249* PrinceCharming: He is approachable, gentle and can sing a sweet serenade.
250* TheWisePrince: Prince D is very openminded and kind. He knew of Pop's tyrannical history but still showed understanding to Poppy's ignorance.
251[[/folder]]
252
253!Techno Trolls
254
255[[folder:In General]]
256* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Their skin looks like PVC wire coating, their hair like optical fibers, their teeth like the bars of a music visualizer and they have angular features reminiscent of pixels.
257* BioluminescenceIsCool: They can glow in the dark.
258* CardiovascularLove: Their hearts are always visible on their chests. In ''World Tour'', they're all red (though they show blue and green glowing during the beginning of "Just Sing"), but ''[=TrollsTopia=]'' depicts them in a variety of colors.
259* FlyingSeafoodSpecial: At least in the movie, Trollex's movement is simplified by having him hover over land.
260* IconicSequelCharacter: Even more so than the rest of the Troll Tribes, since they have received a large EnsembleDarkhorse treatment from fans.
261* NonIndicativeName: Downplayed. Techno is a subgenre of Electronic music, which they actually represent more in general. In fact, they were never seen making actual Techno music at all ("[[Music/DaftPunk One More Time]]" is more like House than Techno).
262* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: These Trolls are aquatic in nature and phosphorescent, making them similar to mermaids.
263* TailfinWalking: They can walk and even run on their tail fins when on land.
264* TokenAquaticRace: They're the only major underwater species in the franchise thus far. This is emphasized in the 2D-animated installments, where trolls from every other species need to [[SuperNotDrowningSkills at least put on a helmet]] when entering Techno environments.
265[[/folder]]
266
267[[folder:King Trollex]]
268[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/754e9387_402d_49b1_be4d_304c1b7688ef.png]]
269
270-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/AnthonyRamos (movies), Anthony Lee Medina (''Trollstopia'')
271
272The King of the Techno Trolls. He thrills as DJ and is proud to protect his people.
273----
274* AdvertisedExtra: Despite appearing in a ton of promotional material and almost every trailer for the second film, he only appeared for a few minutes in the beginning and briefly in scenes towards the end of the movie.
275* BlueIsHeroic: He's mostly a rich blue.
276* TheGoodKing: When Queen Barb arrives in his kingdom, he doesn't even hesitate to confront her, without any sign of fear. He tries to talk her out of attacking instead of immediately getting violent, and only surrenders because she started attacking his people, and surrendering right then was the only way to protect them at that point. And at the end of the movie, he never shows any fear for himself, even after seeing Barb turn people into Rock Zombies. He only shows ''any'' fear once Barb makes it clear she intends to enslave his people.
277* TheOneGuy: The only current ruler of a major Troll tribe who is not a queen or is married to one.
278* PunnyName: His name is likely a pun between "Troll" and "Music/{{Skrillex}}".

286 [[caption-width-right:276:''"Well, you've just never had the Chaz experience..."'']]
287A Smooth Jazz Troll who plays a soprano saxophone. He works as a bounty hunter, mesmerizing targets with his music before restraining them.
288----
289* ActorAllusion: Perhaps an unintentional example, but Chaz is quite the MrFanservice, not unlike Jamie Dornan's [[Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey most famous]] StarMakingRole.
290%%* BreakoutVillain: He went from having a minor villain role in ''World Tour'' to having a small, but recurring role in ''Trollstopia'' and was the main antagonist of ''VideoGame/TrollsRemixRescue''.
291* TheBusCameBack: He makes an [[AdaptationalVillainy prominent appearance]] in the WesternAnimation/TrollsTrollstopia Season 2 episode "[[Recap/TrollsTrollstopiaS2E2SmoothOperatorFUNtographyDay Smooth Operator]]". As of then, he is the only ''World Tour''-introduced (sans Tiny) character to return.
292* CandlelitBath: As a part of his whole package as a romantic jazz player, he appears out of a river filled with bubbles and floating candles.
293* CarpetOfVirility: Has thick chest hair in the shape of a heart. Lampshaded by Poppy on her first sighting towards him.
294* CreepyJazzMusic: Played with as his music is just run of the mill smooth jazz, but it's smoothness freaks the Pop trolls out when the spell is broken.
295* MagicMusic: His music has the strongest effect on Trolls outside the six strings, putting those who listen to it under a blissful hallucination.
296* MusicalAssassin: The only of the bounty hunters shown to directly use his music for hunting. He uses a smooth jazz sax solo to bliss targets out, tying them up while they're under his spell.
297* PetalPower: His music conjures a breeze of rose petals.
298* PowerFloats: He and his sax defy gravity.
299* SexySaxMan: He plays a soprano sax and is characterized as ''very'' sensual.
300* WalkingShirtlessScene: Only wears leather pants.

306 [[caption-width-right:350:''"I can't live in a world without Reggaeton..."'']]
307
308A trio of Reggaetón Trolls that work as Bounty Hunters. Tresillo is the male leader and his silent backup dancers are Marimba (orange troll with mostly teal hair) and Tambora (lime green troll with hot pink hair).
309----
310* MeaningfulName: Tresillo means "triplet", which refers to a pattern of three notes commonly used in Latin American music. An apt name for a leader of three Reggaeton Trolls.
311* PermaStubble: Tresillo has a green stubble.
312* WorthyOpponent: The Reggaeton Trolls show respect for the K-Pop Trolls' dancing. They even suggest teaming up to split Branch for the reward.

324
325* ChromeChampion: Their skin is chrome instead of the regular felt.
326* NoNameGiven: Averted. Not said in the film but each troll is named: Kim-Petit, Gomdori, Wani, Baby Bun and Ari.
327* OrphanedEtymology: One will ponder how the name "K-Pop" came to exist in a world without a Korea.
328* WorthyOpponent: The K-Pop Trolls show respect to the Reggaeton Trolls after their dance battle. They're also willing to join them in a team-up.

337-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/SamRockwell (Hickory), Creator/FlulaBorg (Dickory)
338
339A pair of bounty hunters who hunt inconspicuously.
340----
341* ADickInName: Dickory is antagonistic by circumstance, and pushy and smug about it.
342* AtArmsLength: Immediately after their split, Hickory has to hold Dickory back in this manner to keep him from attacking Poppy.
343* BecomingTheMask: Hickory slips into his Country Troll accent even after exposed. Also, he and Dickory stand in the Country Troll's section of the Rock concert arena.
344* ContrastingReplacementCharacter: Hickory serves as a subtle one to Creek from the first ''Trolls'' film, being a charming troll who Poppy naively trusts before he betrays her. Creek is a member of Poppy's village and a longtime friend that she'd known for years, but he turns out to be a DirtyCoward who sells out his entire village the moment his own life is in danger. In contrast, Hickory is a foreign troll that Poppy meets on her journey to unite the troll clans and is secretly plotting against her the whole time, but he gradually has a change of heart and is genuinely remorseful when Poppy ends up captured by Barb.
345* {{Fauxreigner}}: They pretend to be a Country Troll in order to track down Poppy and her group, with Hickory hiding his German accent behind a thick Southern drawl.
346* FieryRedhead: Hickory's hair is just deep enough orange to almost match Dickory's vermilion beard and ponytail. The trope is played with for Hickory and played straight for Dickory.
347* FriendsAreChosenFamilyArent: Hickory grows to genuinely like the Pop Trolls and tried to free Poppy before his brother revealed their true intentions.
348* HellBentForLeather: Both of them wear lederhosen, but Hickory's Country disguise also includes a fringed brown leather vest.
349* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Like the other Bounty Hunters, they worked for Barb so she'd spare their music from being erased.
350* LovableRogue: A tall, handsome stranger offering you a ride out of town after breaking down the door of the jail cell you were in? Clearly a faster and more exciting option than your partner's BoringButPractical tunnel dig with a collapsible shovel. We also hear Hickory whoop with glee as he outruns Delta and her posse, clearly having the time of his life.
351* MeaningfulName: ''Hick''ory is the face of their guise as a Country Troll, while [[ADickInName Dickory]] is more forceful in their mission of capturing Poppy.
352* MrFanservice: Hickory is significantly taller than the average two-legged Troll, and even most Country Trolls, with a very noticeable set of pecs under a leather vest with no shirt. His official character profile even describes him as "ruggedly handsome", with "a singing voice as smooth as his saddle".
353* PintSizedPowerhouse: Dickory can generate enough kicking power to send Chaz hurtling off the raft and into the water.
354* {{Ruritania}}: They both wear European-style clothing, they represent a genre that originated in rural Europe, and Dickory talks in a heavy accent, meaning it’s likely the Yodelers hail from the Troll equivalent of this.
355* SignatureHeadgear: Both Yodelers wear Tyrolean hats adorned with gamsbart brush trophies. As the face of their Country Troll disguise, Hickory wears a tall, wide-brimmed cowboy hat.
356* TotallyRadical: Dickory talks like this in a somewhat sardonic manner. "Ya darn skippy, playa play!"
357* TwoMenOneDress: In their disguise as a Country Troll, Hickory is the face while Dickory plays the back half.
358* WalkingSpoiler: Their folder title warns of unmarked {{spoiler}}s for a reason.
