Trolls

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.

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.
