Female Troll Physiology
Unlike the male trolls, females are a little smaller (between the waist of the male). Females have more human-like bodies (usually only maybe 1x shorter than the average troll in the movie). They are more of a humanoid and appear more like that in the troll movies. They have long or short hair that is they can freely manipulate as they please. Even use them as powerful weapons as well.
They are a little shorter (by troll standards), with thick covered-in hair that is denser than any steel in the world including diamonds. Have thick fur, and small canines. They have paws that are shaped like hearts and I assumed the tail is small.
Female trollings are born to be careful playing with male trollings; because of their smaller size, short build, and strength. They use their newfound nurture to protect their tribe and families from outside needs of taking care of those who wish to seek help in the areas that the tribe is in. If not trained properly, they have a certain powerful, dangerous, and deadly transformation.
Female Troll Example (This art is not mine, credit goes to Evaroze and Trolls-sideblog (deactivated)):
They are called, Nurturers and are still very protective, but they are associated more with emotion and compassion. That's not to say a Protector can't be caring, but Nurturers do so to a higher degree. They have an amazing grasp on empathy beyond the average troll and are capable of emitting hormones to influence certain emotions, although that's usually used to calm children.
When encountering or facing danger, they immediately go into protective mode. Their hair is more prehensile. They can move, harden, and sharpen their own hair. They can use their hair as blades as well as fire off individual strands of it like needles onto bigger targets causing massive damage on the person or object. Can also use their hair for defensive purposes by using it as a shield or for parrying attacks as well as for mobility by using large locks of it as stilts. The hair also instantly grows back unless cut magically. Upon their hair control has grown tremendously as they can effortlessly summon huge pillars them which can envelope whole landscapes

My Trolls AU
Introduction of the Troll Tribes (My Version)
Pop Nation/Pop Garden
Pop City (Nation/Empire): These Pop trolls live in a place that's kind of like 'Pop Village' but bigger/more populated and is called 'Pop City', King Peppy still rules. Pop City still lives in the Dark Forest, it's a little further from Bergen City, I would say in the Center of the Forest. The Pop trolls grew another Troll Tree, which is referred to as Pop City or Pop Central. And also have advanced technology combined with nature. It's a little metropolitan wonder, where the most famous and powerful trolls live. Due to the powerful and ancient magic of the Pop String.
Pop Garden: The Pop Garden was glowing thanks to a pink light shining over it, and everywhere you looked, there were dark, light, and even average pink colors everywhere. The place was full of plants and bugs, like butterflies, caterpillars, bees, dragonflies, ladybugs, and grasshoppers. The garden has different kinds of flowers, a lot of them, like sunflowers, roses, santans, gumamelas, daisies, daffodils, etc. Not just flowers, there are also different kinds of plants, like vines, shrubs, succulents, ferns, mushrooms, and others. There was a pathway for Trolls to move around while gazing at the plants. There was also a big fountain where they could sit around it, and Pop Trolls could play their Pop music.

Techno Reef/Techno Water Amusement Park
Techno Reef: Techno Reef is an underwater location with LEDs and bright lights, based on macramé and optical fibers. Techno Reef is of high technology, with many LEDs providing lights that surround the dark oceanic floor. This is considered to be well-suitable for the Techno Trolls' parties. Most of Techno Reef is also made of crochet. This is due to the powerful and ancient magic of the Techno String.
Techno Water Amusement Park: Techno Water Amusement Park was literally a water amusement park. It has many water slides with different styles, showers, fountains, water game booths, floatie slides, dunk tanks, and several swimming pools. A few of the pools are kiddie pools with small water slides, some have medium pools, and some have pools that look like rivers, but in the middle of the park was the biggest pool of all, connecting to the other big pools. The Water Amusement Park has many shades of blue, like the slides. It also has stores, like water gun stores, where it can rent water guns for kids, bottled water stores, water balloon stores, pool shops where MMTs can buy swimming equipment and toys, and clothes storage where Trolls can keep their clothes to wear their swimming clothes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lonesome Flats/Country Farm
Lonesome Flats: Lonesome Flats is located in a desert, and is loosely based on a Wild West theme. Lonesome Flats is a sandy and harsh place in the Troll Kingdom. The Country Trolls settled in a deserted area after the isolation from the Pop Trolls. Lonesome Flats appear to be of low technology, as there aren't much of advanced devices in it. It resembles a quilt, with different stitches patterned on the ground and buildings. It's mostly comprised of hot colors (e.g. orange, yellow, red, etc.), which matches both the desertic nature of its location and its Wild West theme. This is accomplished by the Ancient Magic of Country String.
Country Farm: The Country Farm has orange land with lots of crops in rows. The place was almost similar to Lonesome Flats and Country Corral, but instead of a building and house, the whole place is a farm. There are barns, fields of crops, and farm animals roaming around. Though Trolls came here to work to provide food, most of them are Country Trolls. They were harvesting fruits and vegetables, raising the animals, and selling their harvest at their stalls.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Symphonyville/Classical Heaven
Symphonyville: The area of Symphonyville goes across hills and mountains. Out of all the locations of Troll Kingdom, it has the highest elevation overall. For the Classical Trolls, Symphonyville is the most unique and beautiful place. Symphonyville appears to mostly use traditional technology and has instrument and floral patterns on hills and mountain surfaces. It's a calm place, suitable for the Classical Trolls to play their soft music. Most of Symphonyville has golden and yellow tones, as well as some other colors with a tint of gold on them. The Classical Trolls reside in groups at cave-like structures, each of which matches the respective instrument each group plays with the exits shaped like it. This is accomplished by the Ancient Magic of Classical String.
Classical Heaven: Classical Heaven was like a heavenly place where many Classical Trolls flew around instead of walking. The floor looked like clouds, but it was as solid as the ground below. The floor was actually cotton fabric with artificial clouds all over the place so the Classical Trolls or other trolls from other tribes could step on. The place has plenty of gazebos with orchestras of Classical Trolls in each of them with their respectful conductors leading them. The place also has shops and cafes for the MMTs to take a break, relax, and have fun. Classical music was played in the air as the MMTs just stopped and listened calmly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vibe City/Funk Bar
Vibe City: Vibe City has a surreal, science fiction-esque landscape with bright neon signs. It is the only moving location in the Troll Kingdom, making the Funk Trolls the only nomadic Tribe. The entire city is found within a giant UFO-like vehicle that's clamshell-like with some outside balconies. The outside shell is made from platinum records, arranged like overlapping sequins. Thus, Vibe City is also the most advanced location of Troll Kingdom in terms of technology. Their contact with the other troll kingdoms means there is a much higher level of technology throughout Troll Nation, leading to troll mass media, troll cell phones, and troll internet. This is accomplished by the Ancient Magic of Funk String.
Funk Bar: The Funk Bar was glowing thanks to a purple light shining over it, and everywhere. There were dark, light, and even average purple colors everywhere. There were also glowing words and letters made of neon lights. The bar has a slight resemblance to Vibe City, but smaller, and has many Funk Trolls around. Funk Bar also has beverage stores, souvenir stands, and album shops. The song "Superstition" was heard in the background.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volcano Rock City/Rock Field
Volcano Rock City: Volcano Rock City is an ash-covered wasteland with lava and flowing volcanoes. The skies are dark here due to ash clouds. Volcano Rock City is a hot area, with lava flowing everywhere. It appears to be of high technology and is made from leather and denim. Most of Volcano Rock City is of black, orange, and red colors, presumably to match the Rock Trolls' designs. This is accomplished by the Ancient Magic of Rock String.
Rock Field: Rock Field was like an ash-covered wasteland with small lava pools, and thin trails of flowing lava. Some rocks around are sharp, most of them are igneous rocks since they are from magma that cools down. All around, Rock Trolls played their guitars, drums, keyboards, cymbals, and other Rock instruments hard and loudly before smashing them down as the other Rock Trolls cheered with them. Some MMTs can roast their food above the lava pools like hotdogs and marshmallows.

Perfect Family Harmony
An extension of music magic is the fabled “Perfect Family Harmony”, which is basically regular music magic but dialed up to 100,000. Among its fabled powers are control over even unwilling participants (potentially even after the song is done), shattering the hardest known substances (from diamonds to castle walls to iron bars), and cheating death (at least for those who have almost/recently died). Trolls had some kind of supernatural force that let their combined voices become strong and powerful. No matter what kind of music it is, the supercharged music went from both ends, one lively and positive, the other evil and negative.
The perfect family harmony was something so many trolls have strived for. It is seen as the ultimate accomplishment in a troll's life; an accomplishment that only a few have ever achieved in the entire history of Trolls, but that history hides a very important detail…it was meant as a weapon. When a group of people with a familial bond, perform, they are engrossed in the music, in the excitement of dancing with the family; they give off a soft golden/rainbow glow beginning to pulse around them to the beat of the music.
When activated, the Perfect Family Harmony has the potential to unleash an immense amount of magical/musical energy. It can be used to power an ancient superweapon known as the PFH Pulse, which can conquer entire planets and bring them under control. This power is so great that it can reshape the very fabric of reality. While the Perfect Family Harmony might be spoken about a bit differently between tribes, it’s the same no matter who pulls it off. It can shatter diamonds, but it can also be used as a sort of serenade for the users to help calm their people’s hearts and souls. Some say that if the right trolls perform it around the string they represent, something is supposed to happen. As for who those trolls are, it’s been said to be at least partially the ones the strings themselves chose; ones who can really resonate with their music.
There’re debates on this for those of different tribes in the know. Some say the strings will send a shockwave of color and life. Others claim that those specific trolls being able to pull that off will either mark an end for the strings or save the world.
It's the feeling of warmth, as the light glows brighter. Every creature in the vicinity will feel it. A warm rippling of energy. It had erupted from the center of the trolls and carried itself outward for miles, spreading across the Earth. Each major genre has its perfect family harmony, other than being a powerful phenomenon with the power to destroy even the purest of diamonds, castle walls, and iron bars/it has potent healing power, and these harmonies can influence the world around them. Of course, each genre has its own set of influences.

Power of the Musical Talent (Music Magic)
And some more world-building stuff! I don't think any of this counts as spoilers so no cut.
Trolls also have access to a universal, reality-bending magic via music. This music magic is all about connections; it can help willing participants communicate to a far greater degree than simple speech; it can unite a group to work towards a single purpose, such as building a large structure; it can even control plants, animals, and basic elements to the musician’s will. This access to magic is part of why bergens “feels true happiness” after eating a magic-filled troll. It's called, Musical Talent.
"A long time ago, singing is a magical feat every troll has. A troll with strong emotions could achieve the most wonderful things, with as little as a soft hum. Some trolls have a rare and unique ability to sing siren songs that seduce victims-to-be and leave them defenseless. Has the power to enchant/hypnotize people with their voice. They also can tame creatures and change the world around them when they sing. Have the potential to control the world through just her voice."
Depending on how powerful their musical talent is. But one troll is born with musical talent that is a force of nature to be reckoned with. One troll that has the singing voice of an angel (otherworldly, heavenly, phenomenal) is believed that their voice can change the world (can bring eternal happiness, or endless imprisonment).
Musical Talent Power: Trolls' musical talents are massively powerful. They can alter reality through musical mediums such as tunes, rhythms, songs, etc., and be able to cause various effects with this utilization. These can range from manifesting something from one's imagination to converting feelings and emotions into power, to even performing miracles. As long as the user can perform music and is in an emotional state to properly do so, the effects said above, and many others can be achieved. Everything is swayed in a flow of sound. People, objects, and even the world itself. All of these are freely manipulated from the simple music the user performs, being only dampened by their emotions and the skill of the art.

Male Troll Physiology
They are bigger/taller than females (taller than the original). About 8 inches tall in troll size comparison. (usually only maybe 4x bigger than the average troll in the movie). They are more of a Goliath and appear more like beasts than trolls. In my head, they look like Nimona's shadow monster form minus the shadowy-ness.
They are ginormous (by troll standards), behemoths with thick muscle mass covered in fur. has longer and thicker fur, and has eight canines. They have paws and claws that are practically the size of dinner plates and I assumed the tail was longer.
Male trollings are born to be careful playing with female trollings; because of their larger size, heavier build, and increased strength. They use their newfound strength to protect and defend their tribe and families from outside predators or unknown enemies who wish to seek harm in the areas that the tribe is in. If not trained properly, they have a certain powerful, dangerous, and deadly transformation.
Male Troll Example (This art is not mine, credit goes 99kroi) :
They are called, Protectors and are known for being, well, protective. This overprotectiveness often is shown through many traits like high attentiveness. They actually have something akin to a sixth sense, which helps them locate pod members during times of great danger. They can also show more physical signs like heightened senses and increased physical strength. In this state, they are overprotective of the love and safety of young children and potential mates.
Feral Form Mode: Feral Form is the definition of fight, and sends male trolls into a blind rage when children, mates, or themselves are in danger. The Feral form is nigh indestructible physically, but are the most emotionally vulnerable in this state and are prone to fits of uncontrollable rage. The bigger, they get the more beast-like.
Feral Form Mode For Example:
