Zul’jin’s Forest Trolls appeared as playable units in Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, fighting alongside the Orcish Horde. They were used as ranged units, and appeared larger and stronger than their Jungle Troll counterparts in Warcraft III and World of Warcraft.
Trolls were not a standard playable race in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, with their units being absent from the Horde’s forces, with the exception of units such as the Witch Doctor and Head Hunter. The rest were included instead as “creeps” which all four factions would occasionally encounter, and as mercenaries which could be purchased by all four factions.
In Warcraft III forest troll creeps often drop tomes of agility upon defeat. This reflects their propensity to perform flips and other acrobatic maneuvers when under passive observation by the player.
In the World of Warcraft game, the male troll dance consists of Capoeira moves, as shown in this video. The female troll dance is a kind of belly dance, most closely resembling Shakira’s belly dancing in her “Whenever, Wherever” music video.
The Darkspear trolls in World of Warcraft speak with generally Jamaican accents (though they insist it is a ‘troll’ accent).
In World of Warcraft, the Trolls of the Darkspear tribe objected to the inclusion of the Forsaken into the Horde, since they did not trust them due to the Forsaken’s manipulative nature. They also objected to the inclusion of the Blood Elves, as all Trolls hold a special level of hatred for all elves.
The casting animations of Male Trolls in World of Warcraft is identical to the Hadouken animation in Street Fighter (however this in turn is mimics the older Kamehameha blast wave of Dragon Ball fame – which it is based on is debatable).
The male troll used to have a /silly (a joke) in World of Warcraft that sang the song ‘Smoke Two Joints’ by the Toyes, but replaced ‘Smoke’ with ‘Kill’ and ‘Joints’ with ‘Dwarves’. The creators of the game removed this in a patch in 2006, presumably because it was related to illegal drugs.
In World of Warcraft, it states that Trolls practice cannibalism; however, the Forsaken remain the only race that are actually able to use this ability. This is explained in-game as being because the playable Trolls, the Darkspear tribe, have officially given up cannibalism. Some female jokes are still about cannibalism, however, such as: “If cannibalism be wrong, I don’t want to be right!”

The most played Troll class is Hunter, while the least played is Warrior. [1]
