937 Attack of the Geo-Troll Multi-cache

Statistics for the Geo-Troll

The geo-troll (Trollicus forumicus bloodyirritatingus) is an evil mental parasite found in all areas of geo forums, where it preys upon the brains of geocachers (Homo cacherimus). Most clueful people avoid these creatures, since geo-trolls know no fear and attack unceasingly, demanding responses from their prey.

Geo-trolls are immune to flames (Flammae forumicae), which is unfortunate, as most will try to attack them with these first. In fact, when a troll is attacked with flames, it will actually be able to use these flames to create more, which it will hurl back at its unfortunate attacker. Long-lived trolls may be able to render an entire forum uninhabitable with all the flames it creates.

The only form of attack a troll has is its ability to incite responses, which it needs to feed from; hence, the best way to defend yourself against a troll is simply to ignore it. Deprived of nourishment, it will soon starve.

Ancient legends (found in The Book of 1036) hint that a geo-troll may be vulnerable to the Spell of Cancellation, but this powerful incantation would have to be applied swiftly after the troll's birth; once engaged in battle, few survive unscathed.
