Trolls

The trolls have been living in the forest near the village of Oakshire for many years. The people from Oakshire know this. Both groups live their own lives and the forest is devided between the groups. The trolls know that the humans will stay out of their territory and so they leave them be. Lately, the trolls began worshipping an unknown entity that made contact with the shaman of the tribe.

Basic Information

Anatomy

They're bigger than humans. A full grown troll is between 2.30 & 3.10 meters tall. They're built like muscular humans. Their skin can be any shade between green and blue. Most trolls have 2 tusks coming out of their mouth. Male trolls have on average bigger tusks than female trolls.

Genetics and Reproduction

Troll reproduce like humans do. Gestation period: 11 months

Growth Rate & Stages

Trolls are very independent. They age like humans, but they consider themselves fully grown after only 10 years. When a troll reaches its 10th birthday, he/she goes hunting on his own and must be able to feed at least himself and his parents with his prey.

Ecology and Habitats

Most troll tribes live in or near forests. They care very much for the environment, since their shamans commune with the spirits of the land.

Dietary Needs and Habits

They hunt with spears and bows for animals. They are mostly carnivorous except for the eldest who lost some of their teeth.

Biological Cycle

They choose for locations where the winters are calm. They do not hibernate but need to hunt animals like humans do for their food.
