General
Trolls are massive, grotesque humanoids standing nearly eight feet tall, with mottled 
greenish skin, long gangly limbs, and an overwhelming stench of decay and filth. 
Most trolls are mindless, savage brutes, but a rare few possess a crude sense of organization, 
forming small warbands or primitive tribes that raid, pillage, and terrorize human 
settlements. They are feared across Derlith, not only for their unrelenting hunger 
for flesh but also for their infamous regenerative abilities, which allow them to recover 
from injuries that would kill most other creatures. Trolls are shunned by civilization, 
their cannibalistic appetites and monstrous appearance ensuring they are attacked on sight 
by guards if they stray too close to populated areas. However, in the armies of Aramon, 
trolls have found a brutal purpose, serving as unstoppable shock troops - they spearhead 
attacks with reckless fury, absorbing wounds and returning to battle again and again. Their 
ability to rapidly heal from nearly any injury makes them terrifying foes on the battlefield.
While most trolls are mindless eating machines, a handful demonstrate cunning and leadership, 
forming clans or mercenary groups that offer their services to the highest bidder. Some rumors 
persist of trolls being admitted into certain monk orders, but most scholars dismiss this 
as radical speculation.

Physical & Mental Traits
Trolls are immensely strong and extraordinarily resilient, their bodies capable of withstanding 
extreme punishment. Their rubbery, elastic skin allows them to absorb blows with unnatural ease, 
and their flesh knits itself back together almost instantly, making them infamously difficult to 
kill. However, their bulky frames and long, awkward limbs give them slightly slower reflexes than 
other warrior races. Mentally, trolls are not known for their intelligence. Most are driven purely 
by hunger and aggression, lacking any real patience for strategy or tactics. However, some rare, 
more intelligent trolls have emerged, often as tribal chieftains or warlords. Their lack of piety 
stems from sheer indifference, as trolls are too focused on fighting and feeding to concern 
themselves with the divine.

Culture & Philosophy
Trolls have no real structured society, existing mostly in loosely connected bands that only remain 
together as long as they can find food and victims to hunt. They do not build cities, craft tools, 
or create anything of value, preferring to take what they need by force. They view any non-troll as 
either an enemy to fight or a meal to devour. Trolls are viciously territorial, attacking anyone 
who enters their hunting grounds without hesitation. Some more organized troll clans operate under 
a brutal hierarchy, where the strongest rules absolutely, killing any challengers in savage displays 
of dominance. Orcs and ogres often tolerate trolls, using them as living battering rams in battle, 
though they never fully trust them, knowing that a hungry troll will turn on an ally as easily as a 
foe. Trolls despise fire, as it is one of the only things that can stop their regeneration permanently. 
Many will flee at the sight of flames, and fire-based weapons and spells are among the most effective 
means of ending a troll for good.
