Well, this might be true in your Glorantha, but we know for a fact that in 'official' Glorantha Aldryami are plants, not mamals. They are planted in the earth as seeds and are 'born' as young adults out of a fleshy fruit-like pod.
On the psychology front Sandy petersen - on eof the authors of Trollpak - - has said that, in Freudian terms, Trolls only have an id. They have no ego or superego. That's a lot more than a minor mind-set difference.
I'm sorry Sregio, but your basic assumptions, on which all of your arguments are based, are only true in your own Glorantha.
