Popular Halloween Costume – Troll Masks

Costumes and masks are essentials during Halloween. These outfits are worn on or around the 31^st of October both by adults and children. This celebration goes as far back and has its roots in the pagan ritual of the Celtics.

However, wearing of costumes during Halloween started in the 1900s. Costumes generally depict scary creatures such as witches, monsters, vampires, and demons. Over the years, Halloween costumes have evolved and some of the more popular costumes nowadays include popular movie characters, famous personalities, and characters in videos and online games. One of the most popular characters is a troll, a creature in one of Blizzard Entertainment’s famous multiplayer online role playing game World of Warcraft. It is common to see gaming enthusiast donning troll costumes and masks.

Trolls or trollkinds are sapient race of the fictional world of Azeroth. They are scattered and can be found in almost all parts of Azeroth and are known for their huge and lanky builds. A typical troll has muscular bodies that is about seven feet tall and weighs an average of two hundred pounds. There are many tribes and types of trolls, some are larger than the average and mostly do not have loyalty except for their own tribes. This is however, with the exception of the Darkspear tribe and the Shatterspear tribe which are members of the Horde and the Revantusk tribe which is an ally. Trolls have orcish and elven traits evident in their fangs and long ears. They are very adept hunters mostly due to their long arms, strong legs, and quick reflexes. On their hands, they only have two fingers and a thumb and only two toes on each foot. Just like the Taurens, they do not have any footwear. Unlike Taurens who are not able to wear any shoes because of their hooves, trolls are more comfortable barefoot. Most trolls have a greenish color, this is mostly because they can support plant life and a thin layer of moss usually grows on their skin after they are born. Their skin color varies from greenish to purplish and can sometimes appear grayish. They are capable of regenerating their limbs in battle but significant amount of physical damage is enough to kill them. Their fast regenerating abilities give them a big advantage and some of tribes of trolls are efficient killers with high inclination to cannibalism and voodoo. Their language and accent is similar to that of the Cubans and Jamaicans, also speaking words such as “mon” and “yo”.

Trolls are known for their hostility, mostly the reason why they usually live in isolation from other troll tribes. They are very territorial and are very hostile even towards trolls from other tribes. Amid all this, they are also very spiritual, with the tribe’s priest being the center of the spirit. There are many types of trolls living all over Azeroth but they are generally classified into forest trolls, jungle trolls, ice trolls, and sand trolls. The most civilized of all the trolls are the members of the Horde. Trolls are huge creatures and a small percentage of their population is significantly bigger than the rest. The Dire trolls are bigger, heavier, and more muscular compared to the typical trolls. Because of the interesting characteristics of the trolls, going to a Halloween party with a troll mask on and a costume is surely going to grab everybody’s attention.
