    I was wondering something


    What if you kill a number of trolls, cut them apart and then stitch the troll parts together

    Would they regenerate as separate trolls, separate pissed off stitched together trolls or as OMNITROLL
    >> Anonymous 02/08/11(Tue)21:59 No.13831887
    each troll head would absorb the body parts it's attached to and they'd be separate trolls
    >> Anonymous 02/08/11(Tue)22:00 No.13831899
    Can trolls graft on extra parts?

    If so, MAXIMUM OVERTROLL.

    Oh my. This has piqued my curiosity. I'd say it turns into an omnitroll, if only for the AWESOME it would generate.

    I actually tried this with some paramecium in high school science...the experiment was to cut them in half and then - tada - they eventually grow into two.

    I managed to cut mine's "head" right down the middle. Sadly it just grew back together rather than make a two-headed paramecium. :(

    Brains are too fragile and messing with them would screw up the regeneration process, making it more unpredictable.

    >>13831912
    If you mashed them all into one brain,somehow, then maybe it'd be a omnitroll with extreme intelligence.

    technically it would but it would be a living regenerating flesh golem


    also what if you managed to graft them all together, would "killing" 1 head set in motion the regeneration process for the entire body thus making the thing impossible to kill unless all heads were killed at the same time?


    >>13831995
    obviously it'd take lots of time but then again trolls are common enough to SCIENCE a bit on them

    and if brain merging worked maybe it could work on other regenerating creatures to


    say grafting a troll brain onto the tarrasque and then giving it troll parts all over (hypothetically)

    grafting enough brains you might even be able to create a tarrasque with enough intelligence to be able to cast spells with its hundreds of troll arms all over its body
    >> Anonymous 02/08/11(Tue)22:19 No.13832185
    I wouldn't say the regeneration process is bound to the brain. It's probably cell-based, any cell being able to regenerate.

    What if you minced a troll into, well, mince, froze the mince before it could regenerate, and then slip some into someone's Shepherd's Pie -- and someone ate it before the mince was troll enough to be noticeable?

    Hell, what if another troll ate some troll-mince?

    Well, we have to assume that trolls have DNA, since it's safe to assume they share a common ancestry with humans and a variety of other fantasy creatures. And I think it's reasonable to assume that their regeneration functions in a similar manner to "ordinary" cell repair functions, with the exceptions that it occurs much more quickly (greatly enhanced metabolism on demand, perhaps? worth investigating), can repair catastrophic damage such as brain trauma or amputation, and is inhibited by strong acids and fire.

    Given these axioms, it is reasonable to assume that trolls create new cells with their old cells' DNA as they replicate. As a result, new tissue would be recognized as foreign by old tissue, which could cause all sorts of problems with the immune system. It could be possible for trolls of similar blood type to undergo a blood transfusion or organ transplantation, but piling tissue from one troll onto another so that they "fuse" together is unlikely to work unless the trolls share DNA (identical twins, for instance).

    wait a second if you could regenerate parts to the body


    then what would happen if some smartass mage polymorphed into a troll, grafted parts to his body and waited for the spell to be over


    would they stop functioning, fall off, depolymorph back with him or would he suddenly have permanent working troll parts?

    this version would be largely unlimited and perhaps even possible with a whole lot of bodyparts that shouldn't be possible otherwise

    How many hitpoints would an omnitroll have ? All of the added hit points combined or fractions based on how much of the original body was used ?

    Because it could technicly, go and kill more troll by itself and graft them on. Thereby adding more power and intelligence to itself.
