Gl'bgolyb didn’t exist (or was unrelated to trolls???) pre-scratch, because it is a result of Doc Scratch’s interventions
But the more space she put between herself and Gl'bgolyb, the more she risked weakening her bond with the monster. The bond she and her successor shared with it exclusively could sway, and become strengthened with the younger. Perhaps she grew complacent with the threat successors posed, after such a long history of killing them with ease. Heiresses upon reaching maturity were expected to challenge the Condesce for the throne. It was not merely expected of them by their people, but demanded by their shared lusus.
I like to think of her as the pet I gave to their race, at the dawning of their species’ evolution. Like a sentience-warming gift. Again, it’s just the sort of thing a good host does.
