Trolls are giant creatures who love the forest and their native stone. They are not overly bright, but rather clever in the woods and understand the feelings of the earth, and especially of stone. They are generally sylvan and often establish their own homes, simple hovels made of underbrush, fallen trees, and boulders, but they prefer caves. Trolls consider themselves protectors of unspoiled forests. | Trolls are giant creatures who love the forest and their native stone.

Trolls are giant creatures who love the forest and their native stone. They are not overly bright, but rather clever in the woods and understand the feelings of the earth, and especially of stone. They are generally sylvan and often establish their own homes, simple hovels made of underbrush, fallen trees, and boulders, but they prefer caves. Trolls consider themselves protectors of unspoiled forests.
Historically trolls have been considered inimical to humans and other civilized races. The trolls who live closest to human lands, such as the Shadevan Trolls, are not in a constant state of war with humans and the local humans have learned to tolerate their presence in the depths of the woods. They are not evil and mean-spirited, but have deceptively simple worldview based on love of nature and simple needs.
Troll men stand about 8 1/2 to nearly nine feet high (2.6m to 2.7m). They have thick frames and limbs and their heads are encumbered with enormous noses. Their eyes are somewhat small.
Despite legends, Trolls are not adversely affected by sunlight, but their predilection for living under the forest canopy keeps them out of the sun even through long summer days.
There are many derogatory expressions associated with trolls, such as troll-witted, troll-nosed, and troll-dung.
