Bio

Trolls are large, powerful humanoids standing about eight to ten feet tall. They’re taller than ogres but smaller than giants in most cases (though in some settings, the situation may differ).

Ecology

Trolls usually live underground, in hills or mountains, or in the depths of dark forests.

Trolls are carnivores. While they can eat some forms of vegetation, they need meat to survive and thrive. They often enjoy the flesh of humans and other such folk. They usually live in small families or bands. In some areas they’re renowned for their vast wealth.

Personality/Motivation

Normal sentient humanoid motivations.

Powers/Tactics
Primitive or bestial trolls rely on their strength and claws in battle. More sophisticated and intelligent clans or types of trolls wield weapons and wear armor. They favor large, heavy weapons such as maces, hammers, axes, and great swords.

Even when they don’t wear armor, trolls enjoy the protection of their tough skins and bodies. Sometimes leathery, sometimes scaly, and sometimes even stony, trolls’ skin can oft turn even large blades.
