Just gotta say -- that there have to be female trollocs -- cos they breed. I can't remember specific incidences right off the top of my head, but in a lot of places it says that Fades are throwbacks.. and to have a throwback, you have to breed like to like... what a disturbing thought... Because Trollocs only like killing and eating, do the females pull a black widow kind of thing? Maybe most trollocs are female... eeew.... gonna go pour bleach in my ears and see if that gets the pictures out of my head now...


You can't remember any specific instances because there aren't any. If Trollocs are not exlcusively male (as their very nature suggests), then they have no true gender. Aginor created them in the War of Power by some esoteric form of genetic manipulation that allowed him to marry human and animal features, probably using the One Power (or else some Age of Legends black science). We never see how Trollocs are created in the current age -- which suggests that breeding may be possible -- but we also never see any trolloc young. For all we know, Trollocs are spun into the pattern via the Dark One or else "hatched" in some strange ter'angreal that exists in Shayol Ghul.

Fades are the throwbacks of Trollocs and Humans, so that doesn't really provide us with any substantial evidence of female trollocs, either. I can't rightly say that there are no female trollocs, but I can say that we have not seen any evidence to indicate that there are. The lack of Trolloc young is another strong indication, IMHO that they are more likely created than birthed. Unfortunately, there isn't any evidence that lends weight to either side of the argument.

What do you consider to be the most pro-masculine culture/country in WoT? The most anti-female? - 19/09/2009 07:32:03 AM 1328 Views
