What do all these Trollocs eat? _Big_Easy_ Send a noteboard - 24/02/2011 01:39:13 AM
Throughout the series, but especially the later books, we've seen huge hordes of Trollocs.

I would guess that, despite their penchant for eating human flesh, they are omnivorous. But that begs the question, what do they eat?

Unless Blight-ed fruits, veggies, and animals are safe for them to eat, they should be starving, since the number of humans it would take to feed so many Trollocs would probably outnumber the humans still alive, in Randland at least, if not Seanchan or Shara.

What do you guys think? Are they able to eat stuff from the Blight? From what we've seen of the Blight there is no shortage of stuff growing, it's just all rotted and putrid and liable to attack you if it can.

Because everything we know about the True Power & its results suggests harmony with natural law? - 26/02/2011 02:52:35 AM 1262 Views
I think he means using tied off gateways to produce perpetual motion. - 01/03/2011 06:10:39 PM 1247 Views
yep! This, and many other possible applications. *NM* - 02/03/2011 12:57:28 PM 614 Views
Perpetual motion does not equal infinite useful energy. - 02/03/2011 02:27:56 PM 1197 Views
