    A few days ago, while playing on a Premium Sandbox server, I encountered an enemy knight who had gone into our side of the map to harass us. Three builders and a bit of stone was all it took to trap him inside of a small stone enclosure. Once we had secured him and named him "Bazoozoo", I was able to take advantage of this unique opportunity to closely observe and record the behavior of the Knight Troll.

    One of the first things that became apparent was that they are a burrowing species. I unsure as to whether he was attempting to escape, or simply to hide underground, but he made several attempts to dig tunnels down into the dirt.

    The additional stone blocks you see in this picture were all placed to block tunnels he had made.

    While Bazoozoo was able to understand and follow some simple commands such as "Sit" and "Back up", as shown in the first picture, he became very disobedient as soon as an opportunity arose. While attempting to repair damage he had done to his enclosure, one of our builders fell in and was immediately attacked by Bazoozoo. Since players all had infinite health, Bazoozoo kept him trapped in a corner, repeatedly shieldbashing him. It took 2 knights and 2 builders to restrain him and rescue the poor victim.

    After some time had passed, and Bazoozoo seemed to have calmed down, he began attempting to speak. Although he never spoke any actual words, the fact that he was able to immitate the speach of his caretakers shows a surprising level of intelligence. This is shown by the following picture, Jojoha being Bazoozoo's screen name.

    The most shocking observation was Bazoozoo's ability to cooperate with a member of his own team. We had walled in an enemy builder who we caught attempting to free Bazoozoo, and the two immediately began working together. Bazoozoo and the builder can be seen in the bottom of the previous picture. The builder is digging a way out while Bazoozoo keeps the two builders attempting to stop them trapped in a corner. It was through this teamwork Bazoozoo was ultimately able to escape back into his natural habitat.

    I hope you found this both informative and entertaining.

    Sandbox servers sound fun. I wonder if you could research a Builder Troll?

    This is a beautiful thing - I had David Attenborough's voice narrating in my head as I read. :)

    I am a member of BETA (Blue Entitlement Through Assholery) and what you did that poor blue creature breaks several blue rights laws. I will now make a commercial during a popular holiday sending you on a guilt trip showing all the suffering blue knights in the world. You better not appear in public for a few years if you don't want to be dowsed in blue paint by a crazy activist like me.

    This got a lot more of a response than I expected. I'll try and make a whole series out of this.
    He was a good sport about it. I think he wanted to try and escape on his own, instead of just suiciding.
