“Buckshank bold and Elfinstone,
And more than I can mention here,
They caused to be built so stout a ship,
And unto Iceland they would steer.

They launched the ship upon the main,
Which bellowed like a wrathful bear;
Down to the bottom the vessel sank,
A laidly Trold has dragged it there.”
-George Borrow, _Lavengro: The Scholar, the Gypsy, the Priest_. 1851.

Useful Info

Deep troll shamans are dangerous support units, greatly enhancing the capabilities of their deep troll and deep troll earth mage allies. They are every bit as competent in melee as their uneducated brethren, but their real danger lies in their ability to quickly haste and might the other trolls they lead. They can be found in the Depths and the Vaults, as well as a Lair:5 end vault.
