Glitter Trolls

Glitter Trolls are a natural variant of Trolls seen so far only among the Pop Trolls and are a sub-tribe within the Tribe. Guy Diamond serves as the model for these Trolls main traits. Unlike most Troll types, the Glitter Trolls have been maintained since Trolls World Tour as they are referenced in Trolls: TrollsTopia, meaning they have appeared in all movie eras thus this far. They are the most developed of the Trolls-era classification, with many references made to them.
They are one of the most common of the old classifications because of how many Random Trolls generate as Glitter Trolls. In some crowd scenes of Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, up to half of the Random Trolls onscreen can generate as Glitter Trolls.

Trolls may be dashed in glitter such as the few flicks of glitter on Queen Poppy's cheeks. However, these Trolls are easily identified by their completely glittery bodies as well as their metallic hair. They are one of only two families of Trolls that cannot be mistaken for another Troll family, the other being Fuzzling Trolls.
Their skin is one of the more unique-textured skins of the series. They don't have skin that is a light fuzz like normal Trolls have such as Queen Poppy or Branch. Their skin texture was tweaked between the movies. In Trolls, they resembled a normal troll with glitter replacing the fuzz, making them look shinier. In Trolls World Tour, they instead have plastic-looking skin, with their glitter encased randomly in multiple skin layers; the uppermost one is semi-transparent. This allows them to look like they have glitter on more than just the surface of their skin. In Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, the glittery skin is created using a technique known as "unmoving plaid texture"; the texture is animated in loops and occasionally sparkles.
These Trolls tend to prefer to be completely naked, with exceptions such as Gia Grooves. In fact, it is revealed in "Truth or Dare" that just wearing pants is gross to these Trolls. Even though, Tiny Diamond on Twitter confirmed that they will wear suits - their birthday suits.https://twitter.com/Trolls/status/1235673132783923201
As evidenced by Tiny Diamond also being a Glitter Troll, their glittery skin is also inheritable, and can transfer into other types of Trolls. Thus, while most Glitter Trolls are Pop Trolls, they can be other genres like Tiny's Hip hop.
The main difference in design between 3D Glitter Trolls and the 2D ones from Trolls: The Beat Goes On! and Trolls: TrollsTopia is that the designs in the 2D animation are a lot more unique. In the movies, all Glitter Trolls reuse a standard Troll model with changed colors, except the inclusion of eyelashes to indicate a female.

The Glitter Trolls are proud of their beautiful metallic sheen overall. Even Gia Grooves in Trolls: The Beat Goes On! was written to value her own vanity at times.
In the Trolls: The Beat Goes On! episode "Glitter Loss", Guy Diamond loses his glittery sheen after a scrubber pod scrubs the glitter off of him. He is left as just a normal grey troll with metallic hair. The scrubber pods should, had Guy not interfered, just buffed his body to brighten his natural sheen. The glittery sheen of a Glitter Troll can be restored by an artifact known as The Fountain of Glitter. However, a Glitter Troll who becomes too full of themselves after bathing in it can shine dangerously bright, to the point that they set things on fire, resulting in them having to maintain a level of humbleness to keep a reasonable shine.
Guy has also made attempts for non-Glitter Trolls to experience what it is like to be a Glitter Troll. In "Weekend At Diamond's", he invents a device that allows Trolls to fart like a Glitter Troll, while in "Blank Day", he proposes a day of celebration where normal Trolls get to experience life as a Glitter Troll for one day.
Guy Diamond claims in "Glamping" that as a Glitter Troll, or rather the Glitter Troll, they are all about living the high life and being fantastic.

These Trolls fart glitter, which is strong enough to propel themselves forward and can be used as decoration in events like parties. In the Trolls: TrollsTopia episode "Glitter Rush", the Glitter Trolls attempt to refill the glitterpits after a glitter shortage; however, they run out of gas. In "Extra Tootering", Guy states he was a late tooter while Tiny struggled to fart glitter. Both episodes show that Glitter Trolls have limitations on the amount of glitter they can fart, and not being able to fart can impact their self-confidence.
In many media references, it is noted glitter will fall off from time to time when they dance.
They are so shiny that they can shine light off of their bodies and are essentially a walking disco ball. In Trolls, multiple Glitter Trolls hung from a ceiling together to produce even larger disco ball effects.
Glitter Trolls bitten by bats becoming "Glampires", Glitter Trolls who have the supernatural urge to wear clothes, considered disgusting for others and themselves a living nightmare. They can be helped cure themselves by aid of a Glampire Helper. However, it was implied by the end in this case, Guy was just discovering a new "self" and he wasn't becoming a Glampire.

The Glitter Trolls gain their inspiration from the Dark Horse of the Troll Dolls era as this is the only era in which metallic or glittery Trolls appeared in. Trolls used that era of the Troll Dolls history for most of the inspiration behind the movies 'Troll look'.

Other Trolls also have glittery skin. Examples of such include the Classical Trolls (glitter being one of their racial traits) and Skyscraper.
== ==
Their name refers to their body which is made of glitter.

*Both Lady Marigold and Madame Maelstrom from the Glitterborne Chronicles are shown as Glitter Trolls.
*Glitter Trolls remain very popular as toys due to their glittery appearance making them attractive to children. This is why many of Hasbro's miniature figurines were of Glitter Trolls. Guy Diamond's popularity saw him many releases across the small figurines, with Gia Grooves later being marketed as the female alternative to his doll in the Trolls era. After Trolls World Tour, Tiny Diamond took over the two as the main Glitter Troll for marketing.
