The village troll in strict terms is a person locally known for ignorance or stupidity, but is also a common term for a stereotypically silly or nonsensical person or stock character. The term is also used as a stereotype of the
mentally disabled. These types often make themselves feel important by
instigating public figures to boost their ego. While they can be described as
mentally challenged they are keen on attracting on other villagers to a circle jerk of idiocy.
