Troll, River
Similar in many respects to their swamp-loving kin, river trolls prefer a less slimy existence, and prefer to live in forested regions near rivers and streams, or under bridges.

River trolls patrol the banks of large rivers, looking to hunt the forest creatures that use the river for sustenance. Very rarely, the river trolls are indigent enough to use crude nets or spears to harvest fish and other aquatic foods from the river itself.
River trolls are more frequently found as a group, as they are somewhat smaller than a normal troll (those only other trolls really notice this). They will work together with those of their own kind, but not with other common trolls.
River trolls are adept swimmers, and like to lurk underwater for prey near bridges, if possible.
