"So, i take it that you recognize it."

"Most unfortunately, and this is not a good sign, Trolls never were a good sign." The Symbiote answered, clearly shaken.

"Trolls. The girl said the same, when we asked her what she was, but we thought that she was, well... trolling."

"No, Jack, Trolls are real, and they are not the cute funny rainbow head and long hair thing popular now, but the scary version from old legends." Jacob retorted.

"Scary how?"

"Adults tend to be between two to three meters long, plus horns usually long enough to gore people with. Their physical strength is greater than that of Jaffa, Unas, or Goauld, and their body is often very durable.

Some System Lord stumbled on their forces, and lost millions of Jaffa in the ensuing battle.

The Goauld attempts to take some for hosts revealed that the entire race is somewhat psychopatic-as half the hosts ended up driving the goauld inside into a mindless frenzy, where they literally tried to beat others to death with the blunt end of a Staff Weapon. And those whose minds weren't as berserk, were discovered to have chemicals the symbiote is allergic to in their blood.

Trolls tended to arm their armies with mostly melee weapons, and still wipe out any Jaffa force of similar numbers, unless their opposition had plenty of air and artillery support."

"Ouch"

"Yes", The dual voices of the alien sharing the man's head voiced, "And they keep outnumbering goauld Fleets, despite having ships inferior to Hateks, and falling in space battles more often not. It's like they have unlimited numbers with which they stall the Goauld there.

Their tech Base is Organic and incompatible with anything the Goauld, or Tok'ra know, and can manipulate. You have no idea how many forces the system lords invested into stopping this menace in its tracks, and ensuring it won't have access to StarGates. Their native region of the galaxy is the place where the disgraced Goauld who stumbled on them was sent, expected to never return, with armies helping him keep fighting there.

Ra, in his displeasure, had the name of that System Lord removed from all records, and any forces not sent to help fight there outright Destroyed. Jaffa are kept ignorant of them."

"In short", and now it was Jacob again, O'Neill still wasn't used to the switching- " They are the barbarian hordes that the Goauld hide behind high walls to avoid and Tok'ra want to never see on their neighborhood.

What is even more interesting is that this one is not an Adult. All previously encountered members of its species were mature. It may prove different, or at least actually cooperative. We may even actually learn something about them."

"It's- I'm pretty sure this one is a girl. Or at least a very, very convincing Guy."

The ex-General looked at him.

"No, Jack, they don't have ganders the way we do, despite their appearance, Trolls are Insectoids with some reptilian features thrown in. They are not Mammals, and according to what autopsy reports we got our hands on, possess both male and female reproductive organs, but no womb."

After a prolongued silence the Colonel replied.

"Well, the kid that we caught Sucking Face with it seemed convinced it was a She. Think you could get better answers out of him then us?"

The look on the Tok'ra as he heard it was priceless.
