Monkey Island allusion? Ctarl 21:48, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't think so, but I wouldn't put it beyond anet. Bridge trolls are a common mythological creature. --Lou-SaydusUser Lou-Saydus Hail Storm.jpg 21:50, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
well but there should be some notes for this weirdie i think^^ Zerpha The Improver 14:30, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
well it is the Three Billy Goats Gruff if anything, that is probably where monkey island took it from. --LemmingUser Lemming64 sigicon.png 14:31, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
The "troll which guards the bridge" and happens to be in the way of your party has been a favorite with roleplayers on hundreds of occasions. --Xeeron 16:00, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
apparently, this troll didnt get the memo that you're suppose to ask riddles, not bash their heads in--User Raph Sig.pngRaph Talky 19:09, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
When I was running around and saw this, I laughed so hard it came up and killed me =( --98.196.21.66 08:22, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

needless revert[edit]

For some reason, the following version of the trivia:

*Many children's fairy tales, such as the famous Three Billy Goats Gruff, feature a troll beneath a bridge guarding it.

was reverted to the what I believe is inferior (both in accuracy and conciseness) current version,

*A reference to children's fairy tales where all bridges have a troll guarding or living under them.
*Monster originated from the fairy tale known as "The Three Billy Goats Gruff"

. (Not all bridges feature trolls in fairy tales; two lovely sentence fragments; no link source and incorrect titling of the named story...) Any reason why? Otherwise I intend to re-consolidate it. | 72 {U|S|T|C} - 01:48, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

I agree. the original trivia version is better. -- Wyn User Wynthyst sig icon2.png talk 02:06, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok, let's reword: The previous version from September 10th was better.--Fighterdoken 02:17, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
I linked the history to point out a slew of vandalism and a slew of reverts. I'm sure neither Pling or I will be offended by you changing the wording around to make it better - we were just hitting rollback and undo on top of each other, trying to clean up the vandal's mess. -Auron 02:42, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Ah. Gotcha | 72 {U|S|T|C} - 04:05, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Speak for yourself, I reverted manually to the last clean revision :P --User Brains12 circle sig.png Brains12 \ talk 15:09, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
On top of my undo! Stop being perfect imho -Auron 03:13, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
