instead of aging progressively trolls actually ‘molt’ every 2 sweeps or so. molting is basically just, hibernating for a few days in either their ready made coon or making their own if they dont have access. they come out a lil bit bigger every time, and around their 8th sweep molt their irises start going from grey to their blood colour. unlike humans, who stop growing at a certain point, trolls continue molting until their death, though they get less frequent in older ages. under the right conditions trolls can live for a . fuckening long time (eg the condesce) and end up being Real Big
Honestly, the thing about jojo is that it starts kinda normal, and each new bizarre thing it introduces seems so logical in context; you don’t even realize how weird it is until you look up and realized you’ve gone from watching two kids fighting for daddy’s approval, to watching a 70 year old old man helping his grandson cheat at MLB 2k 1989 to save the immortal soul of his best friend while simultaneously searching for the surviving one of those aforementioned kids, who’s now a sexy evil vampire that stops time and has stolen his rivals body.
