===> Be the olive-blooded alligator troll.
Your name is KASULI TOVARA and today is your WRIGGLING DAY, your what? You never really cared much to remember how exactly you were so fortunate as to survive the caverns, but you’re here now. 
Besides the point, you’re too busy thinking about your INTERESTS. You take a keen interest in SCALEBEASTS, causing you to have a STRONG AFFECTION for your lucus. You also like to read about ALTERNIAN HEROES from the past, specifically those who set out to aid in CONQUERING PLANETS. When you are of age, you dream of joining the ranks of the CAVALREAPERS. Sometimes you like to practice with your REALLY SHITTY WORN OUT LANCE, only to end up whacking your enemies or beasts with it instead of impaling them, when that fails, you tend to use your RUSTY YET RELIABLE POLEARM that you’ve had for a couple of sweeps.
Sometimes you like leaving the safety of your hive to meet up with some of your troll friends….what friends? Oh that’s right you DON’T SEEM TO HAVE ANY as of now and instead tend to STRIFE WITH YOUR LUCUS most of the time. Your trolltag is ammutCrusader, why you have it you don’t know, its not like anyone will be chatting with you.
Quirk: “^v^v Yov tend to tvpe like thif v^v^” replacing any letter with a V whenever you can to represent teeth, as well as place “^v^v” before and after your sentences as if it were a toothy alligator mouth, sometimes, but rarely, you tend to use faces like owo whenever eager or excited or :F to represent your protruding teeth, and also replace all S’s with F because your teeth cause you to make “F” sounds whenever you “fpeak and fo it goef like thif”
Some Notes:
Strife specibus: lancekind, polearm kind
-Carries around a polearm whenever he is unable to properly use a lance in a fight, as well as preferring to try and stay at a distance when fighting.
God Tier: thief of heart
-I chose this tier because when around trusted “others” he becomes too gullible, or will do anything to help his allies, and so I thought that this would challenge him to try and learn to help himself since being “too helpful” has caused him to get into several problems
Age: 7 sweeps
Blood Color: Olive
Land: N/A (haven’t figured this out yet either) 
Fetch Modus: Jaw Modus- What ever item is placed inside of it will be “booby-trapped” meaning that the owner of the modus will have to quickly reach in and take it out as quickly as they can, if they are unlucky the “jaws” will clamp down, which can lead to injuries, as in a small bite on the hand or fingers, or to something more fierce, as in losing said hand or arm. The force of the bite that the jaws can give depends on the importance of the item, very important items can cause deadly bites while not so important items can give small pinches.
Name Meaning: Kasulik (Estonian) Tovaras (Romanian), shortened to Kasuli Tovara which translates over to “helpful companion”. 
Tag Meaning: Ammut is the name of the egyptian devourer of souls (who was part crocodile) that devoured the souls of all those who were considered immoral and unworthy of the afterlife. While Crusader can tie in with this because they were a type of knight during the middle ages that would be sent out on religious expeditionary wars to battle “heathens” or unholy people.
Lucus: A large alligator, about the size of an adult horse, has extended arms and legs so that it can get around more quickly. Has a stronger upper body than its legs and lower body and so uses its arms to walk around like a gorilla. Is naturally blind, emitting small croaks and sometimes high pitched yelps to help locate where it is going like a bat.

You’ve got a pretty solid start here. You’ve done a pretty thorough job in theming this troll, and I don’t really see any technical problems. His personality is good, his quirk is readable, his sprite is adorable.
One thing I will say is that his fetch modus is too literal. A modus is a more abstract thing, and wouldn’t, as far as I’m concerned, be able to simulate biting, especially not to a degree that might kill the operator. I would revise this troll’s modus and try not to be so literal this go around. In my understanding, a Thief of Heart would be able to manipulate the relationships/emotions of other players in a way that benefits him. In the case of this troll, I can see why you chose Thief—instead of benefitting others, it benefits the player. But Heart seems sort of…ill-fit? The way you’ve portrayed him is as someone who is a kind of loner, so I can see how Heart would be a challenging aspect. But I think that his being so incredibly helpful makes Heart an almost too-obvious choice. If you really want to challenge him, Thief of Mind seems to fit a little bit better, at least in my eyes. 
ONE MORE THING! Protip: the proper spelling is L-U-S-U-S. Not “lucus”. 
That’s all I got! You’re off to a great start so just keep hammering out the details and you’ll be all set. Thanks for submitting!
