Troll

Basic Information

Anatomy

Tall muscular bodies with generaly two arms and two legs. The trolls are stonishly looking creatures. The trolls hide resemble stone even in it's physical ability to not be cut for example. It's very thich and scaly. Trolls often hide in plain sight near bridges or dark alleys thanks to their skincollor. They can resemble a pile of rocks as well as a plain wall. Some grow grass and flowers or mosses in pits of skin. They vary in their posture as some have humps and walk using their hands for support. Others walk straight on their legs.

Ecology and Habitats

They live near or inside the ruins of old buildings as their skin proves a camouflage for the old stone. This grants the troll exceptional opportunity to ambush its prey. Or avoid any given pursuers.

Dietary Needs and Habits

They are mostly herbivorous subsidising their diet with meat only occasionally

Naming Traditions

They name themselves after their favourite things or the place they use to hunt. Comon names include: Stone, Pig, Man, Wall and Arch. This can makes the comunication with a troll quite difficult.

Major Language Groups and Dialects

They can all speak comon speach where some favour orcish, but will go with comon speach if a bit broken.

Common Etiquette Rules

Telling stories and ridles can be used as a form of payment for services or other stories and riddles. It's very rude to interupt someone even if you know the answer to the question and if you continue interupting the trolls become enraged and will attack you.

Common Taboos

• To become political

• Eating trolls or ogres

• Damaging the hiding spot (bridge wall etc.)

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Trolls remain neutral to all species. They eat whoever comes near them and won't spend a riddle or a story for them. This random eating creates sometimes friction which often results to a village conducting a witch hunt on the particular troll, this ussually ends with slaughter of the villagers. Or inability to find the troll and returning home empty-handed.
