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.
