Trolls

A large type of humanoid famous for their toughness and healing capabilities. Trolls are fairly common both in the Southlands and Northlands. They are large and strong and their carnivorous nature can make them dangerous to humans. As primarily nocturnal creatures they often dwell in caves during daylight and have adapted to both hot and cold climate. Known as skilled crafters trolls often live in small family groups and can sometimes engage in trade with other species. Their major weakness is their slow reproductive cycle which prevents them from competing with humans and similar races. Trolls can live to be over 100 years old and they have their own language known as Oogrim.

Cave troll
With their stubby build cave trolls stand 3 meters tall and weigh around 600 kg. They have a distinct grey color of skin and their hair is usually white. As a species they are highly territorial and often get into conflict with other types of trolls if they share the same area. Cave trolls are perhaps the least advanced of the troll races but compensate for this by their strength and heightened senses.

Forest troll
As the smallest type of troll they still stand 3 meters tall and weigh around 400 kg. With their slightly greenish skin color and dark green or brown hair forest trolls are surprisingly difficult to notice in their natural habitat. Forest trolls are omnivores and sustain themselves from whatever the forest can offer. Not as aggressive as the other types of trolls, forest trolls prefer to keep to themselves although can become dangerous if their habitat is threatened.

Mountain troll
The largest but not heaviest type of troll, mountain trolls can stand almost 4 meters tall and weigh close to 500 kg. They have muscular, slender bodies, leathery skin and long hair in a brown, grey or white color. Known for their metal working mountain trolls are the most respected type of trolls although humans often find them hard to understand. Mountain trolls have a very ritualized lifestyle which is bound to ancient traditions passed on from generation to generation.

Alchemy
Troll bone can be used as a good quality alchemical ingredient.
