Hmm -- what with the onslaught of sudden humor, why not? I used to know
this _really_ annoying duck character in a campaign (more annoying than
the duck average), so I felt the need to prove to him that Uz was
better...
Top 10 reasons why Trolls are better than Ducks
- Ducks drink swamp-herb tea. Trolls drink Powzie!
- Ducks: Frenzied attempts to bite your kneecaps off.
Trolls: Crush 4, Bludgeon 4 on a maul, to your head.
- Duck holidays are typically dour contemplation at the Humakt
temple. Troll holidays are typically getting drunk and slamdancing
at the Zorak Zoran temple until you chunder.
- Ducks can't make the minimum height requirements for all the cool
rides in the God Forgot amusement parks.
- Trolls don't need to outrun the lion; they just outrun the duck
next to them.
- Troll heroes: heavy hitters like Cragspider, Arkat, Gerak Kag.
Duck heroes: Donald, Daffy and Toilet Duck. (quack-quack!)
4 Trollish fears are of terrors and secrets beyond mankind's
comprehension, ancient feuds with powerful races, and horrors that
would snap lesser minds. A duck's biggest fear is feather molt.
- Ducks ride fat, short, gentle little ponies. Trolls ride giant
tarantulas which can rip a rhino in half.
- It's _never_ "Troll season."
- Lunar provincial militia suffice to commit genocide against ducks;
it took Gbaji to take on the trolls.
