''The parent dossier for troll-kind. Cold-dwelling [[Ice Troll]]s and water-bound [[Scrag]]s are subtypes — see below.''

''Of every monster in this book, the troll is the one most often killed twice. Read why. — Wren''

== The Harpers' Read ==
A troll is barely a mind wrapped around a hunger. What makes it deadly is what it does after you wound it: the gash closes, the bone knits, a hewn-off arm gropes back to its socket. There is exactly one answer — '''fire or acid'''. Sear every serious wound or the thing simply will not stay down; a troll dropped without flame rises again in moments. Carry a torch, a flask of oil, a fire-spell — anything that burns — and finish it on the ground.

== Subtypes ==
* '''[[Ice Troll]]''' — a frost-rimed troll of the far north, inured to cold and quick to deal it. [[Arauthator]] keeps them as wardens.
* '''[[Scrag]]''' — the aquatic troll; it mends only while water touches it, so dry land is its undoing.
