**Squid Island**, also known as, by Slogo’s undercover name, **Troll Island**, is the fifth and so far most recent major troll town series hosting the trolls initiated on each other by Slogo, Jelly and Crainer, starting from November 8 2023. The main gimmick now is that it revolves around the chemistry between Robust and the return of Crainer after his exit from the group in May 2022, resulting in more friendly, mild and fewer trolls, as well as them recording on the server together more often than usual. As a major series, it succeeds the third season of Cow Town, retroactively separated as the Bee Town series.

It is set on the titular island of the same name, and unlike all of the previous major series, doesn’t use the '*Noun* Town’ naming pattern, opting for a '*Noun Land*' naming pattern. Although the series premiered on November 8th, the series’ origin dates back to October 20th, as that was the date in UTC that Crainer uploaded a video titled 'I need your help', mustering his audience to spam #*WEWANTCRAINERBACK* on Jelly and Slogo’s channels in order to gain their attention and in order to reunite Robust, which ended up happening on the aforementioned November 8th date. The series developed from the reunion of Robust and was centred around that general concept, such as the introduction of a mayoral office in order to establish order on the main location of the setting, the city of Squid Island, in homage of the previous series being around the towns. Unlike the previous troll town series, it is not based on video likes to continue the series; the series rather appears to be ongoing regardless of opinion considering that it is probably their most successful series currently as of its airing.

On November 8, 2023, after it was announced that Crainer would be returning to the group, Robust uploaded new videos from different perspectives which set up a brand new and so far the latest series in the Robust Troll franchise, yet to be named, as the first video recording with Crainer since his exit in mid 2022. The name was revealed to be Squid Island on the 15th of November, after Crainer saw a squid near the shore of the titular island. It is also a bit more mature than previous series, with Slogo calling Crainer a "dumbass" and saying “dammit”, and making occasional political remarks, in addition to dark humour jokes and occasional bleeped swearing.

## Trolls

A unique and interesting part of this series is that there are less trolls than before on average, as in Pig Town, the trolls were usually very destructive and manipulative, and in the Cow Town seasons, there was a lot more (originally and generally harmless) trolls within a shortened period of time. In Squid Island, because there is more government and chemistry between the three, and in part thanks to the passing of Law 1, the trolls would be significantly reduced. However, when there is a troll, it tends to lean towards the aggressive and destructive side, such as the demolition of Jelly’s Temple, or the forceful demolition of the watchtower on Crainer’s Sand Castle.

## Area

The Squid Island city area is quite smaller than that of the season two and three Cow Town series' area. However, the island itself is also actually a lot smaller than previously projected, and the city typically expands more northern throughout the episodes, towards and from the grassy highlands, as it has completely occupied the available southernmost area, where it was established.
