TROLL
Trolls are large and powerful earth creatures. Often thought of as protectors of mountains and forests, or as bloodthirsty beasts who dwell in caves and abandoned human structures. Trolls can be designed with a very broad, chimeric style mix of traits.
Design Inspirations: Moomin, Susie Deltarune, medieval heraldic beasts.
✧ MANDATORY ✧
✦ Feeding: Bones.
✦ Long ears, either pointed or droopy.
✦ Thick hard claws on the hands and feet.
✦ Rocky or crystalline protrusions on the back and shoulders. May have multiple types of stones, including precious and semiprecious stones, if desired.
✦ The ability to grow in size up to fifteen feet in height. They become proportionately stronger as they grow. This ability causes extreme fatigue if overused.
✦ Weakness to sunlight. Direct sun weakens and sickens trolls, who prefer to move under shade, underground, or at night.
✧ OPTIONAL ✧
✦ Thicker skin with a rougher, rocky texture.
✦ Rocky or crystalline protrusions elsewhere on the body, or patches of them as skin.
✦ Sharp tusks and/or an underbite.
✦ A more bestial skull structure, such as a snout with an animal nose. This can include a small trunk.
✦ Between one and six horns on the head.
✦ Long fur on any part of the body.
✦ Broader, larger hands or paws for digging.
✦ Digitigrade legs and/or hooves or paws instead of feet.
✦ A tail of any kind.
✦ An extra set of eyes or a single eye, which, when opened, can see infrared (heat-vision).
✦ Earth magic. Trolls can control rocks, gems and ore, dirt, and sand, creating weapons, sculptures or structures at will.
✦ Pica. May feel the urge to chew or eat non-food items, such as chalk.
✦ An aggressive nature. Trolls are quick to anger and lash out physically.
