"Wait a second... I'm reading something BIG heading your way. Defend yourself!"

- GSO narrator, Trading Station

Trader Trolls are enemy techs summoned as part of the GSO grade 1 walkthrough. After recovering their base bomb and rebuilding their tech, the player is instructed to travel to a Trading Station marked on the minimap. Upon arriving at the Trading Station, the narrator will announce the arrival of the Trader Troll and order the player to attack it. The Trader Troll is the first tough enemy a player will face and teaches them to build effectively to protect their cab. After the Trader Troll's defeat, the Mission Board and Shop Terminals of Trading Stations will become available to be used in that campaign.

Trader Trolls
There are at three different kinds of Trader Trolls, but you will only encounter one in a single playthrough.

Trader Troll Easy
The Mini Trader Troll has a GSO Repair Bubble Projector and is significantly smaller than the other Trader Trolls.

Trader Troll Medium
This Troll has a GSO Repair Bubble Projector and twice the weaponry of the Trader Troll Easy.

Rare Trader Troll
The Rare Trader Troll has both a GSO Repair Bubble Projector and a GSO Shield Bubble Projector. This might make it sound tougher but it has minimal battery capacity, strained further by the double-bubble arrangement. Hence the name, you are unlikely to find this kind because of it's GSO Shield Bubble Projector which is an extremely useful block in the early game.

Trivia
If the Trader Troll that attacks you is the Trader Troll Easy, the narrator will read "Wait a second... I'm reading something heading your way. Defend yourself!" without reference to it being 'BIG'.

If you are attacked by the Rare Trader Troll, the narrator will read "Wait a second... I'm reading something SCARY heading your way. Defend yourself!" omitting the word 'BIG' for 'SCARY.'
