Worldbuilding Pop City (Imperial Pop Empire) & The Tribes of Pop
After the great escape, the pop trolls grew in numbers immensely and eventually split up and had countless pop settlements. But after the escape, many pop trolls turned grey from grief and were traumatized by losing their loved ones to the bergens. So a tribe of grey trolls lived in the forest. Most colored trolls moved with the grey trolls.
The Pop Tribe/Kingdom is back to being the most largest territory and population in the South (because of the various pop subgenres), stretching from the border of the Troll Kingdoms to Mount Rageous & covering half of the Pop Forests inside of the Grey Mountains. Over the years, Pop expanded across the continent but stopped expanding north, and there are countless (numerous) Pop settlements encased in the Grey Mountains. They are the only Tribe where any Troll can have an egg, male or female. And still isolated from the other tribes. They have built or created serious defenses, alert systems, hideouts, weapons storage, hospitals, school pods, medical facilities, etc. They have the biggest library and hospital among the tribes. The architecture of Pop City is highly mixed in nature & advanced, avant-garde, and natural, surpassing even the other Trolls & Mount Rageons. It's called Pop City/Trolltreetropolis/Pop Central/Imperial Pop Empire.
Forced to flee a second time, the pop trolls traveled further through the Pop Forests, and eventually settled in tropical-type jungles & forests inside of the enormous grey mountains, centered around an ancient, hollow but living tree they called the Great Troll Tree; this became their capital, where the royals resided. They thrived in the thick jungles, innumerable communities developing and working with nature to support their quickly growing numbers, spreading far and wide. Pop Tribe had the largest population boom after they gained their String; they are the only Tribe where any Troll can have an egg, male or female, or many minor Tribes joined willingly or were coerced to join. Over time, pop trolls thought they were the only trolls there were, forgetting about the other troll tribes in anything but legend; to everyone but the royals, anyways, who handed down the “true” history of the pop trolls. They have been building great fortress-cities of natural forest & fabric on top & below the troll trees, and even established underground cities. All around Grey Mount. Pop trolls are even able to build cities high up in trees and mountains, but also make tunnels and burrows deep within the ground.
Most pop tribes live in the mountains, which are home to a vast network of caves and underground tunnels. Within the mountain are several cities connected by tunnels between the caves that each city calls home. They do have stairs present, but they only use them if they’re tired or injured, or unable to use their wings or hair. Throughout the empire is a series of vast mines and farms. Hundreds of daily routines are spent mining and farming at these sites to trade with the rest of the Pop Forests, with the pop trolls being the largest providers of minerals, ores, and food throughout the region. The Pop Empire is estimated to have had over 7,721 cities, towns, and villages. These settlements were spread across a vast territory (Grey Mount) in the Pop Forests.
POP NATION: POP CITY
Information of Pop City. The pop tribe in this fic is definitely a lot bigger (continent-size population) than the 5 tribes including the subgenres! Pop City's population is most definitely the most equivalent to the population of 'Volcano Rock City' (the rock tribe) a massive since the pop trolls are the only tribe that can give birth with/without a spouse.
I’ve always imagined pop has the biggest population.
Followed by rock and techno
Then Classical and Country

POP FOREST/POP CITY/POP CENTRAL/TROLLTREETROPOLIS
When finally free from the Bergens, the Pop Trolls began traveling northward. They needed to get as close to the Neverglades and the Deep Forest as possible because the Bergens' natural predators, Greygons and Wing-Dingles, were native to the area. This being the case, Bergens avoided the vicinity as if it were cursed. It would be the safest place for them to settle.
With so many small children (and the smattering of elderly), the journey to the area took over weeks of travel, and they continued their nomadic lifestyle for another week after that, searching for the best place to begin building. Peppy and a few others had spent significant time researching the area and learning about defensible geography, and he was confident their input was valuable. The vegetation is thicker, and we see giant trees. Huge rivers and streams are flowing south nearby, so by continuing into the brush, conditions are likely that we'll find an area that suits their needs.
They slowed as the foliage around them opened up into a huge clearing, and brightly colored, bioluminescent mushrooms lit the area. It was sunny, but the thick canopy of the trees looming above led the area to have what seemed to be a permanent soft layer of shade, with pinpricks of light filtering through the leaves like spotlights on the packed dirt and leaf litter covering the forest floor. The thick, tall trees were too close to each other for any critter larger than a caterbus to enter the area, and the clearing had a natural path that led to the riverbank nearby.
The trolls had made temporary lodgings with tents and carefully assembled foliage, so that the building crew could focus first on essential infrastructure: paths, foundations, the hospital, a new care center to house their critters, a central plaza, clearing nearby land for agriculture, aqueducts, plumbing, a market streets, schools, elderly care facilities, the list went on.
Massive lakes, rivers, streams, a forest with plenty of fruit-bearing trees and bushes, healing herbs of all kinds, flowers so abundant that they would have enough for decades to come, mushrooms as big as some of their pods used to be, even a freshwater spring that fed into beautiful rivers, lakes, & streams. That itself cut through the mountains, leaving caverns large enough to stockpile anything they needed to hoard during the colder months.
The Pop trolls live in a place that’s kind of like ‘Pop Village’ but bigger/more populated and is called 'Pop City or Pop Empire’, with King Peppy. Pop City still lives in the Pop Forest, further from Bergen City, in the Center of the Forest. The Pop Trolls grew another Troll Tree called Pop City or Pop Central. And advanced technology combined with nature. It’s a little metropolitan wonder, where all trolls live due to the powerful and ancient magic of the Pop String. Pop trolls live in the Troll Tree, officially dubbed Trolltreetropolis but often called Pop City or Pop Central. It's a little metropolitan wonder, where the most famous and powerful trolls live. Pop City is nestled in a lush forest, where tall trees and sparkling streams create a magical atmosphere. The Pop Trolls' homes are often built within tree trunks or nestled on branches, adorned with colorful decorations and flowers. Their community is known for its enthusiasm, positivity, and love for singing, dancing, and celebrating life.
The colossal Troll Tree stood magnificently, towering a thousand times larger than any ordinary tree. Just 50 feet behind it, a glistening lake sparkled under the early morning sunlight. Surrounding the lake were crystal formations of all shapes, sizes, and colors, casting prisms of light in every direction. To the right of the Troll Tree, the forest of Pop City flourished abundantly with a bounty of fruits, vegetables, and a riot of brightly colored flowers, creating a kaleidoscope of hues. The lush vegetation hinted at a land teeming with life and abundance. On the left side, a massive field of flowers stretched out, enveloping most of the edge of the encircling mountains. The vibrant blooms swayed gently in the breeze, creating a mesmerizing vista that captivated all who beheld it. Scattered throughout were fruit-laden trees and bushes heavy with ripe berries, adding to the scene's enchanting allure. The landscape of Pop City was a masterpiece of nature's design, a harmonious blend of colors, scents, and life that painted a picture of serenity and beauty in every direction.
In enclosing the city and creating a picturesque backdrop for the landscape, these mountains can be imagined as grand and majestic, rising high above the surrounding terrain. They likely provide a sense of protection and isolation for Pop City, adding to the mystical and awe-inspiring quality of the setting. Towering peaks reaching hundreds or even thousands of feet high create an imposing natural barrier around Pop City. This would emphasize their grandeur and the sense of being enveloped by a majestic mountain range. As its name suggests, the world of Trolls closely resembles the Garden of Eden. A very lush and fertile world with slowly aging inhabitants.

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.
My Trolls AU
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:
