A troll looks like you and me… untill they wake up and log on to the internet to start there daily trolling… Then they look like this:

Wikipedia Definition of a Troll:

“An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet-slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chatroom, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.”

What is a Troll?

An Internet “troll” is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. He (and it is usually he) tries to start arguments and upset people. For some reason, they don’t “get” that they are hurting real people. To them, other Internet users are not quite human but are a kind of digital abstraction. As a result, they feel no sorrow whatsoever for the pain they inflict. Indeed, the greater the suffering they cause, the greater their ‘achievement’ (as they see it).
