Trolls (Marvel Comics)

There are many different kinds of fictional Trolls appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The most common of these Trolls are the ones that reside in Asgard.
Types of Trolls
Trolls of Asgard
The Trolls of Asgard are scattered throughout each of the Nine Worlds. While the Trolls are belligerent as the Giants, the Trolls are crafty and are stronger than any Asgardian, Dwarf, or Elf and are even on par with the Giants.
Orange-Skinned Rock Trolls
The Orange-Skinned Rock Trolls first appeared in Avengers #1 and were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
The Orange-Skinned Rock Trolls are stocky and massive with orange skin, ape-like faces, some hair on them, five fingers on each hand, and two toes on each foot. These Rock Trolls first appeared when Loki summoned them to fight Thor, Iron Man, Ant-Man, and Wasp which would lead up to the formation of the Avengers.
Flying Trolls of Thryheim
The Flying Trolls of Thryheim are a race of Trolls that wear insectoid armor that enables them to fly. They reside in the area of Thryheim that is adjacent to Asgard and serve Queen Ula.
Forest Trolls
The Forest Trolls are a race of Trolls that are more simian and furry than the rest of the Trolls of Asgard. They reside in the forests with one of the forests being in World's End.
Silent Ones
The Silent Ones are a race of Trolls that live on the Isle of Silence in the Sea of Mist. A trio of them that survived Ragnarok were used as the "muscle" for the modern day pirates Stripmine and Appraiser. Stripmine used the Four-Armed Trolls in his attack on Genosha. Their attack brings them into conflict with Excalibur. One of the Four-Armed Trolls was captured by Callisto as Professor X and Magneto discuss what to do with it while Dark Beast meets with Stripmine. When Karima Shapander is freed, she helps to arrest Stripmine, Appraiser, and the Four-Armed Trolls. They alongside Dark Beast and the Magistrates were remanded to Genosha's newly-built prison.
Magzi
The Magzi are a race of feral Trolls. They were originally shown locked up in Asgard until the events of "Siege" freed them. One Magzi mated with an Asgardian woman who gave birth to Gunna Sijurvald who took up the name Troll.
Trolls of Hades
The Trolls of Hades are a race of Greek Trolls that are more amphibious in nature and reside in the Greek underworld. An army of them are loyal to Pluto.
Trolls of Otherworld
The Trolls of Otherworld are a race of Trolls that reside in Otherworld where they work as blacksmiths and stonemasons. They make their homes in the complex cave systems that are located in Otherworld's mountains. There had been some claims that the Trolls of Otherworld are descended from a refugee Rock Troll. Other people state that there is no connection between the Rock Trolls and the Trolls of Otherworld.
