I have been thinking for a couple of days about this project.

It will be rather short but I will do the endangered human species in the alphabet from the letters C to E.
(Poor old Paul might think I typed C of E there)

I have been scouring the internet and have found a very unusual phenomenon
that I feel should be highlighted so that people become more aware of the dangers.

I'm hoping to post a little later about the species I have chosen to highlight.

Here we have one of the male adults, fully matured,
well supposed to be but on ocassions one is never quite sure.
It is said they have this incredible ability to regenerate a mess where ever they are.

Wikipedia states, Modern human trolls are the only extant members of Hominina clade
(or human clade), a branch of ... For the concept of races of humans, see Race
(human categorization). ..... Like all mammals, human trolls are a diploid eukaryotic species.
They are characterized by erect posture and bipedal locomotion and manual dexterity.

This one is the very rare species called the Driscoll Troll, unlike the internet troll that is
generally despised throughout the world this troll normally brings a warming smile to all
that meet him. Affectionately known as Rob to many of his friends, the species started out
in the Hampshire area and is generally seen around the streets of Portsmouth in a care
free manner as during the day has little to do.

On the rare occasion of a good weather day they can be spotted in Hampshire very
near the sea front where they can occasional be seen near to many balloons which
seems to attract them like rabbits in headlights syndrome.


Concerns are mounting for the Driscoll Troll as it is believed this is the very last of the species.
They were first spotted in the UK around the late 1970's and numbers have always been very
low and there is a worry that the Driscoll Troll will die out and become extinct.

The local habitat generally is a nice warm bedroom but on numerous occasions they can be
seen around the UK at many high points in all the counties, in a camping tent of all things.

The higher ranking and more important Driscoll Troll in their colony are renown for wearing
an un-usual garment that many might not have encountered before called a Dickie Bow Tie.
There are very few if any pictures available in the modern era where a Driscoll Troll
has been captured wearing one of these.

For food the unusual thing about the Driscoll Troll is they are usually seen not far from a
Pizza Express outlet with a discount voucher in hand, this pleases them immensely for some
unknown reason. So if you do see a Driscoll Troll without a smile on its face just offer them
a discount code and see that beaming smile re-emerging so quickly.

None as yet have been captured so that people are unable to view them in captivity.
Unusually they have been spotted on few occasions at balloon days all over the UK.
So if you are interested in this very unique species this might be the best chance to
spot one of the very few still remaining in the UK.

The watch is not just for show, oh no, this is very important to the species and plays a very
valuable part of the Driscoll Troll being on time for meetings, parties and many day to day activities.

If you would like to help save this adorable creature then please donate as all monies raised will go towards its upkeep.

Thank you for reading and apologies this was a very short series on the endangered species of the Driscoll Troll.

For those of you wondering what on earth this is about, I went to see the Trolls movie the other day and after visiting the website I discovered I could Trollify myself.

The light was not good last night when I took the pictures so just taken some more.

I also added four other small details to the design.

The Driscoll Troll was off on his holidays on Monday, on his way to Portsmouth.

Look out Portsmouth as you may see him around town sometime if you keep your eyes peeled.

PS, unfortunately his shirt popped/went down Sunday night so I did replace it but did not do all the artwork again,
sorry about that.

a fascinating scientific analysis of this rare species, it must be very rare indeed but I will donate a small amount to save it,
