Whether or not that's true, it has little to do with Uzko today. Adam and Eve didn't fight in the Garden, and they were supposedly the same type of person alive today. Whereas all the trolls down in Wonderhome were/are Uzuz. Uzko came about only in Komor, the Hurtplace.

For the record, ZZ as Trickster is good to think and helps us understand that frightful and awful character. Is it True in Carl Fink's "One Truth" sense? Ah, it's words, images, stories.
