Troll Personified, thy name is Anthony Dinozzo of NCIS.

Iago is doing it for revenge, though, not to amuse himself or because it’s what he does. Is that different?

If it does count, then we’d have to include Edmond Dantes from The Count of Monte Cristo as well. Now there’s a guy that likes to jerk people around.
Foghorn Leghorn
Stephen Colbert.

I couldn’t find the “approximately equal to” sign. Anyway that’s what this thread is all about. People are taking protagonists from various stories and calling them trolls.

I think I see what you’re saying. It’s really motivation that makes a troll a troll. If I were to head into ATMB and start a thread arguing that Cecil is a fictional person because it amuses me that people will argue otherwise then I’d be trolling. If I were to do that because I felt people were understandably confused on the matter and should be informed as to the truth then I would not.
Bugs Bunny fooling with two hillbillies who are trying to shoot him isn’t trollish but Bugs Bunny erasing Daffy’s mouth is. I would say Bugs was mostly defensive though.
