{{ :troll.png?nolink&350|}}====== Giant Troll ======

Trolls average 18' - 24' in stature and can weigh as much as 2400 lbs. Their distinguishing features include green skin, red eyes, pointed ears, and tusks protruding from their cheeks. If they have hair, it is most commonly black, gray, or brown. Troll blood is purplish in hue.


>//“You duck behind the corner of the house and watch the Troll do her work. After she collects nearly a score of pigs, she hefts the sack over her shoulder and begins to tiptoe away. It’s strangely amusing to watch this giant’s outsized attempt at stealth. Yet her pace is quick, and her stride is long. You’ll need your wits to read her movements and guess at her destination.”// (RPA, ADV-2)

Though perceived as simple-minded, Trolls have similar emotional ranges to [[human|Humans]] and have been known to create fire for warmth and food preparation;

>//The Trolls invite you to sit by their fire, where they roast pigs seasoned with flakes of purple salt and crushed spices unknown to your palate.// - Taron's Trophy (RPA-ADV2)

Gentle giants, Trolls do not possess ill-will toward any races by default. Despite their monstrous appearances and size, many have parental instincts and seek to take care of sick or ailing creatures they come across.

>//The Trolls seem very fond of Esther, almost as if she were their own.// - Taron's Trophy (RPA-ADV2)


Almost all Trolls speak the [[languages|Dragul Common Tongue]]. On the other hand, even though the two languages share certain characteristics, Trolls are rarely fluent in [[languages|Nalos Common]].

In his other arm, he carries an enormous papier-mâché head. It appears to be the head of a Troll. The audience cheers when they see him.// - Tome of Encounters (RPA-Tome-SQ1-20)
