}}{{Quote|Acording to this book, there ''are'' creatures that can [[Rock Troll Memory Magic|restore memories]] that have been lost.|[[Belle]] to [[Maurice]] about the Rock Trolls.|Family Business}}
'''Rock Trolls''' are a humanoid species featured on [[ABC]]'s ''[[Once Upon a Time]]''. They are native to [[Arendelle]], and first appear in the [[A Tale of Two Sisters|first episode]] of the [[Season Four|fourth season]].

Rock trolls are based on the [[w:c:Disney:Trolls (Frozen)|species]] of the same name from the [[Disney]] film, ''[[Frozen]]''.

==Biology and Culture==
Rock trolls are humanoid, small creatures with stone skin, black eyes and large ears and noses. They do not have hair, but have green grass instead of scalp hair and eyebrows. When they sleep, they curl into a moss rock. According to [[Oaken]], they are "quite nice" creatures.

Some rock trolls are able to use a special [[Rock Troll Memory Magic|type]] of [[magic]] in relation to memories. {{S|("[[A Tale of Two Sisters]]," "[[Family Business]]," "[[The Snow Queen (Episode)|The Snow Queen]]")}}

==History==
{{Before First Curse|nohide|
After losing her sisters [[Ingrid]] and [[Helga]], [[Gerda]] goes to the [[Rock Trolls Valley|rock trolls valley]] for help. [[Grand Pabbie]] listens to her plight and consoles her. Due to the unknown tragedy, Gerda requests a [[Memory Potions|memory potion]] powerful enough to wipe everyone's memories of her sisters. Pabbie agrees to help her, but he warns the truth has a way of coming out one way or the other and that there will be a magical price extracted at her expense. {{Ep2|The Snow Queen (Episode)|The Snow Queen}} 

On a homebound journey from the [[Enchanted Forest|Mist Haven]], Gerda and her [[King Arendelle|husband]] die in a storm. Their daughters [[Elsa]] and [[Anna]] discover their mother's [[Gerda's Diary|diary]] ambiguously referencing their reason for travelling out of [[Arendelle]] was due to their eldest daughter's [[Ice Magic|ice magic]]. Anna and Elsa consult Pabbie for answers, and he admits their parents were going to Mist Haven, though their reason for it is not known to him. {{Ep|A Tale of Two Sisters}} 

When Anna visits Pabbie again, she brings a companion, [[Belle]], who wishes to reclaim lost memories of her [[Colette|mother]]'s death. Using magic, he extracts them from Belle's mind and transforms it into a stone. Pabbie instructs her to return to the place where she lost her memories, boil the stone in a [[tea]] and drink it to remember what was lost. {{Ep|Family Business}}}}

*When [[Belle]] is looking up information on how to retrieve lost memories, she is reading a [[Rock Trolls Book|page]] about rock trolls. It says:<ref>[[:File:406ForgetThisNonsense.png]]</ref>

Trolls are creatures who are said to be formidable<br />[[Wikipedia:Telepathy|telepaths]] and are said to ably employ subtle acts<br />of persuasion to bend others to their will.

Some earlier scolars {{S|[sic]}} even went so far as to<br />say that they have the ability to [[Rock Troll Memory Magic|restore<br />memories]] that have been lost.

'''The [[Wikipedia:Talisman|Talismanic]] Adornments of<br> the Rock Troll'''

ᛏᚱᚩᛚᛚ ᚾᛖᚳᚳᛚᚪᚳᛖ* 

Trolls can cast powerful enchantments – in particular spells used<br />to wrest someone's heart or mind.

They do this by the emanation of a [[magic]]al frequency generated<br />through the crystals they wear about their body. The power of<br />this working is increased by their entire number acting<br />in unison.

The crystals made of [[Wikipedia:Andradite|andradite]] and [[Wikipedia:Periodot|peridot]] are worn by the<br />trolls also as protection and defense from the evil around<br />them including the machinations of men.

<br>
<center>It was cold, Alice thought to herself. Really cold.<br>Alice hadn't seen her breath like that since last winter in<br>[[Seattle|Hyperion Heights]]. She watched as the breath floated off<br>into the starry night. A moment ago she had thought<br>she saw the light of a city in the distance, but as her<br>eyes adjusted she came to realize it was simply the moon<br>reflected off the frozen tundra that stretched away to<br>forever. Alice wasn't just cold, she was alone. Alice<br>slumped on a rock, hugging herself, trying to keep warm.<br>She wondered if she would survive the night. And more<br>than that, she wondered if she would ever see her [[Hook (Wish Realm)|father]],<br>or [[Robin Hood (Birth)|Robin]], again. She had spent so much of her life alone,<br>now it looked like that's how she would end her life.<br>Only just then, the rock beneath her bum began to<br>quake. Startled, Alice sprung to her feet, but the rock<br>rolled toward her as if in pursuit! She turned to fee, but<br>another rock from nearby her side rolled her way. And<br>another from behind her. And a dozen more, from all<br>directions. They circled, herding Alice through an obvi-<br>ous attack pattern! Alice readied herself. For what, she<br>did not know when -- The rocks unfurled themselves, as<br>rocks almost never do. Arms and legs formed on each as<br>one after the other they revealed themselves to be little<br><br>stone men. None were taller than Alice's knee, but<br>together they made an intimating force. Alice knew<br>exactly what they were: Trolls. She had experience with<br>trolls, but she didn't know what to make of this little<br>army that surrounded her now. She was scared --</center>
