Trolls are horrid carnivores found in nearly every clime.  They are feared by most creatures, as a troll knows no fear and attacks unceasingly.  Their sense of smell is very acute, their infravision is superior (short range = 4 meters), and their strength is very great.

A troll attacks with its clawed forelimbs and its great teeth.  Three minutes (36 turns) after being damaged, a troll will begin to regenerate.  Regeneration repairs damage at one hit per turn; this regeneration includes the rebonding of severed members.  The loathsome members of a troll have the ability to fight on even if severed from the body; a hand can claw or strangle, the head bite, etc.  Total dismemberment will not slay a troll, for its parts will slither and scuttle together, rejoin, and the troll will arise whole and ready to continue combat.  To kill a troll, the monster must be burned or immersed in acid, any separate pieces being treated in the same fashion or they create a whole again in 3-18 minutes

Description:  Troll hide is a nauseating moss green, mottled green and gray, or putrid gray.  The writhing hair-like growth upon a troll's head is greenish black or iron gray.  They eyes of a troll are dull black.
