Kroil's Brood
Kroil is an elder swamp troll, enormous even by troll standards. Long matted dreadlocks hang from his scalp and cheeks, his hunchbacked stature concealing his steely muscular battle-scarred form. Kroil has pallid white flesh with grime-stained appendages from decades of wading through the filthy swamplands. His jet-black hair shines with odorous oils, his yellow gnarled teeth stink of putrid rotten meat. Kroil's brood is a collection of his mates and offspring, only those strong enough to avoid falling prey to their father's ravenous hunger. Residing in the swampy GalanFang Moore, Kroils brood prey on unsuspecting fishermen and weary travelers as opportunistic predators. Their numbers are very contentious, as any trolls too weak or feeble are often cannibalized by the brood.
Kroil and his brood have perfected the act of ambushing unsuspecting victims. The trolls cover themselves in the slimy gunk of the swampy Moore and lay in wait as the lantern light of their prey approaches. Leaping from the murky sludge they drag their unsuspecting prey under and begin consuming them alive as they struggle against their gruesome fate.
Swamp trolls are rarely materialistic, only keeping what they can consume. Kroil wears obscure silver-plated wristlets that some say are responsible for his formidable strength. Bits of partially consumed corpses hang from rusted chains and hooks from Kroils tattered belt. As the fearsome patriarch of his brood, Kroil demands tribute and takes the lion's share of any trinkets the group happens upon while stripping the flesh from their victims. Nobody has seen any sign of the brood's stash and lived to tell the tale.
