Trollocs During the War of Power, the Dark One was in need of soldiers. Scientists loyal to the Shadow, chief among them Aginor, began to combine human genetic material with that of boars, bears, wolves, rams, and eagles. The goal of these experiments was to create the perfect warrior.
The result of this crossbreeding was the Trolloc. Trollocs are large and powerful, eight to ten feet tall. They are very strong and ferocious, killing purely for the pleasure of it. Initially, however, the Trollocs were a failure in terms of a potential soldier. A lack of discipline and ability to take orders, as well as a lazy and deceitful nature, prevented them from becoming the effective warriors the Dreadlords had hoped to create. Trollocs organized themselves into tribes, and are the only creations from the War of Power to have an organized social structure. Only the males fight, with the females doing little but serving as breeding machines. The Trollocs do not always breed true. Sometimes throwbacks to the animal side are born, which die quickly. Throwbacks to the human side, called Myrddraal, usually survive. It was these Myrddraal which eventually salvaged the Trollocs as a soldiers. |
