Troll – Mythological and Fantastic Beings

A troll is a hideous humanoid characterized by its ability to adapt and regenerate.

Physically, he’s a really disgusting spawn. Their skin is an irregular fur of blue, gray or green color. His eyes are dark and hollow. It measures between 2 and 3 meters and can develop enormous strength.

Trolls can walk upright but slightly bent over, and despite their posture, they are highly agile beings and excellent climbers. In addition to their prowess and enormous strength, trolls have other advantages over other beings, such as infravision and their highly developed sense of smell.

Its weak point is the light. If they are exposed to sunlight for a few minutes, they turn into stone, so they are not usually a threat in broad daylight, although they are at night.

The females are stronger, bigger and smarter, which is not very difficult since a troll has a fairly low intelligence.

The trolls are not inconsiderable enemies that always attack with their claws or with their mouths, regardless of the size and strength of their adversary. A troll is never scared. This fact is understandable if one takes into account the amazing capacity for regeneration they possess.

Their skin has exceptional plastic properties that allow them to regenerate quickly, even when they drop to death. If any member of his body is amputated, he continues the fight by his side and, at the end of the battle, he joins the trunk again to regenerate. Only acid and fire can cause permanent injuries.

Trolls live in caves whose entrance is surrounded by boulders to make it difficult for intruders to enter. If they do not find a cave, they settle in underground holes covered with leaves and branches, in such a way that they remain imperceptible.

These beings live in groups of 3 to 10 trolls, with a leader who is usually a female troll. This leadership is determined by numerous struggles. The troll that does not win the fight is amputated from some part of his body, as punishment.
