I'm sure the term is older than this, but I first saw it in the Feng Shui RPG, referring to a nameless, faceless member of an enemy horde -- e.g., all the ninjas who attack Our Hero, and get dispatched in a variety of spectacular manners, are mooks. Trollkin would probably be mooks in most Gloranthan circumstances.
