Description

Appearance
Generally described as giants similar to treahni in form, but with overly muscled upper bodies, long powerful arms, and thick leathery or stony skins. They move about in a quadruped manner using the backs of the hands as fore-feet.

Variance

Äsüzÿsk‎‎

In the northern regions of tundra and icy wastes the Layor and Krolar describe large creatures with hard rock-like skin., and brutish features that move about in a quadruped stance but are capable of standing upright like a treahni. These rock trolls are believed to only move about at night, and will attack any treahni they find in their territory. By day they hibernate beneath the soil or snow, and any caught above ground in sunlight are permanently turned to stone. During winter, the months of long nights these creatures are able to stay awake for long periods and will migrate and congregate in large numbers. It is rumoured that entire villages have been overrun by these monstrous beings during the darkest of winter nights.

Bog Trolls

In more temperate climates a troll variant partial to wetland bogs and swamps is said reside in wild spaces. These beasts can move about freely on land and in water. Said to have large maws filled with tusk-like teeth, black or dark green rubbery hides, and webbed hands and feet. They are described as leaner in form, but still possess the bulky long-armed appearance of most trolls.

Pësodwaflärë

Named forestlurker for their camouflage and ambush hunting behaviour, these creatures exist in deeper parts of the fog shrouded forest. They are often mistaken for large stumps or boulders covered in moss by the unwary. These beasts are no less aggressive, but will wait to ambush interlopers of their territory.
