of course i don’t think any of the aliens would be given the dignity of being considered equal by any troll! moreso with the complicated social interactions between troll classes, it seems likely that some aliens would be considered better than some trolls.

sea dwellers themselves, for example, are seen as another race; so would an alien race that doesn’t show the same mutations that are disliked about royal trolls (fins and gills, for example) be seen as better than a sea dweller by certain land dwelling nobility?

and of course all troll castes would have traits associated with them that are seen as good; cold, blue blood is seen as good, and warm, red blood has negative connotations. so surely trolls would be influenced even in little ways, even subconsciously, to think certain things about aliens that display traits they see as good or bad?
