Butchering a [[troll]] [[corpse]] may produce a '''troll hide'''. This "[[armour]]" increases your [[regeneration rate]] by +40, but only provides the [[AC]] of a [[robe]], has an encumbrance rating, and causes you to [[hunger]] much faster while injured, making it one of the worst armours in the game. However, you can transform it into a far superior [[troll leather armour]] by using a [[scroll of enchant armour]] on it. This provides the same boost to regeneration, but with a much better AC.

The stiff and knobbly hide of a troll, with magical regenerative properties. It may be turned into armour by magical means.

"THE TROLL KING: Now, listen, Prince Peer, and give way to reason!
You're cut out for a troll. Why, look, already
You bear yourself quite in a troll-like fashion!
And you want to become one, don't you?
PEER GYNT: Of course.
In return for a bride and a well-found kingdom
I'm not unwilling to sacrifice something;
But all things have a natural limit.
I have taken a tail, it is true; but, then,
I can undo the knots that our friend has tied
And take the thing off. I have shed my breeches;
They were old and patched; but that won't prevent me
From putting them on if I have a mind to.
I shall probably find it just as easy
To deal with your Trollish way of living.
I can easily swear that a cow's a maiden;
An oath's not a difficult thing to swallow.
But to know that one never can get one's freedom –
Not even to die as a human being –
To end one's days as a Troll of the mountains –
Never go back, as you tell me plainly –
That is a thing that I'll not submit to."

-Henrik Ibsen, _Peer Gynt_. 1867.

Butchering a troll corpse may produce a troll hide. This "armour" increases your regeneration rate by +40, but only provides the AC of a robe, has an encumbrance rating, and causes you to hunger much faster while injured, making it one of the worst armours in the game. However, you can transform it into a far superior troll leather armour by using a scroll of enchant armour on it. This provides the same boost to regeneration, but with a much better AC.
