Feral trollkin will be the more intelligent ones, those who are capable of surviving independantly. Many of the worker and warrior enlo and most of the food enlo can't - they just do as they're told. Praxians are unlikely to see food or worker enlo though and not much of any others. Remember enlo can't stand sunlight so hide under cover during the daytime and humans don't see well in the dark.
