The vicious Trolls that populate the numerous jungle isles of the South Seas are renowned for their cruelty and dark mysticism. Barbarous and superstitious, they carry a seething hatred for all other races. At the height of the Gurubashi Empire, the Jungle Trolls ruled over the lands from Stranglethorn Vale in Azeroth to the Echo Isles of Kalimdor. However, at the apex of their reign, the Gurubashi people splintered into a handful of warring tribes. One such tribe, the Darkspear tribe, was driven from its lands and forced to fend for itself amidst the deadly jungle races of Stranglethorn.

After generations of loss and servitude to larger and less honorable tribes, the Darkspears faced possible extinction. Though their warriors were amongst the bravest ever born, the incessant politics of the Gurubashi tribes threatened to end the Darkspears' way of life. Even worse, Humans began erecting settlements in Stranglethorn as well. It was during this dire time that the Darkspears met Warchief Thrall and the warriors of the Orcish Horde. The Darkspears, led by the aged witch doctor, Sen'jin, appealed to Thrall and his Horde for help against the Human invaders. Together the Trolls and Orcs won the day, but it proved to be a short-lived victory. The local murlocs captured many of the victors and prepared to sacrifice them to a sea witch. The Darkspears fought alongside the Horde, but the noble Sen'jin fell during the final battle against the murlocs.

In honor of Sen'jin's sacrifice, Thrall vowed that the Darkspears would always have a place within the Horde. He offered the trolls sanctuary in the new kingdom he and his Orcs planned to build across the sea. Vol'jin, the son of Sen'jin, took control of the Darkspear tribe and wished Thrall farewell. Nearly one year later, he finally led his people to Kalimdor and made a home for them on the Echo Isles, just off the rugged crimson coastline of Durotar.

Despite being highly versatile and having excellent racial bonuses for solo players, Trolls are probably the least popular player race. While there are many possible reasons why, it's probably because they're just really ugly and having one as your avatar doesn't make an appealing case for itself when a player is going to end up spending a lot of hours staring at a Troll backside. That being said, Trolls have six playable classes to choose from, warrior, hunter, rogue, priest, shaman, and mage, and also have probably the best set of racial characteristics of any playable race. Regeneration and Beast Slaying alone make Trolls as attractive choice for any player.
