    Trolls in Runescape are named after the first thing they try to eat. This is explained in the game by a troll named Dad IIRC. There’s also one named My Finger

      I believe you may be thinking of My Arm from the quests “My Arm’s Big Adventure” and “Making Friends With My Arm”, unless I’m forgetting about a troll named My Finger.

      There’s a kid named finger joke there somewhere, I just know it.

          Extremely understandable. I just have turbo autism and a frankly embarrassing playtime in OSRS 😭

          Also, I can’t believe you would point out to me that the quest is two decades old. In a single moment I straight up withered away into dust

      This joke isn’t just a one off thing either, every troll has a name to go with it. You can even get a baby troll that you can feed most tradable items to to change its name to the item. A few people feed stuff like Christmas crackers to them to show off.

        It also gets meta

        Lol was named after eating a human who was repeating the phrase over and over, and so Lol guessed that was the human’s name.
