A particularly intelligent deep troll, it wields earth magic to tunnel through the earth to allow it and its kin to ambush its foes. You feel a lump in the pit of your stomach. 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

Tips & Tricks

• The damage of their LRD spell is greatly reduced by your AC, so well-armoured characters have less to fear from them. That being said, an exploding rock wall is a lot less threatening than an exploding metal or green crystal wall. Position yourself in the open if possible.
