Hi all,
I have been working on a wiki article for my race of creatures known as the sochu.
They are my take on the type of trolls that I grew up with, that is, the kind made popular by D&D and Warcraft II.
Why the different name? Well my trolls are more of the traditional Scandinavian / Norse trolls, which I feel deserves at least the name they have had for the last dozen centuries, so I needed another unrelated name to describe this distinct race of creatures.
So my questions to yins are this:
Thank you! I look forward to hearing from everyone!

So my questions to yins are this:
- What is everyone's take on using different names for already established creatures?
- How do you feel about what D&D did in co-opting the name "troll" for their own creatures?
Thank you! I look forward to hearing from everyone!
