Troll

**Trolls** are a ugly giant humanoid race that is native to the New World.

## Background

The trolls can be found in the Grameus Continent. They were under the control of Demon Lord Nosgorath in the Demon Lord's Army during the Great Race-Demon War. However, they were being turned to stone at the mere exposure to sunlight.

## Abilities

Trolls can possess immense strength, which complements their great size. Their skin is extremely thick, which protects them from attacks like arrows. The endurance of trolls were so potent that not even the tougher beastmen could take them down.

## History

### Great Race-Demon War Arc

Naturally, goblins and orcs could find the trolls, colossal trolls, cyclopses, and wild golems that appeared in the Grameus Continent where there were massive concentrations of magical power. They had made up the main force of the Demon Lord's Army before conquering the entirety of the known world.

The great horde of the Demon Army’s Rodenius Dispatch Force were deployed in attack formation within the natural stronghold of the Iwat Valley in the Rodenius continent, forming to meet infantrymen archers and mages from the Alliance of the Races. The races were able to defeat the demons over time, but their strongest warriors started to falter and fall. The robust fortifications built by the dwarves also gave in to wear and fire as ten colossal trolls ravaged the defenders that manned them. Due to their extremely thick skin, the trolls could take direct hits from arrows to the head and still fight in full shape.

The demons and beasts including berserking trolls and colossal trolls were set to set foot into the forest against the races in the Battle of Divine Forest. However,  when the Emissaries of the Sun God arrived, they ran aimlessly screaming as they tried to get away from the carnage. The Zero fighters spotted the demons and fired them with a 20mm autocannon shell, killing them. The berserking trolls that were more than a match for the races were obliterated from direct hits from the intense explosions. The Zero fighters dropped the 60kg bombs on the numbers of the Demon Army’s Rodenius Dispatch Force and destroyed them. Also, they were killed by shells from the Type 97 Chi-Ha medium tanks and Type 95 Ha-Go light tanks.

After the construction of the Doors of the World was completed and the Emissaries of the Sun God returned to Earth via whirlpool. The 1,000 strong soldiers of the last group of the Alliance of the Races called the Demon Lord Extermination Army under Commander Esperanto with Ta Lou, Kenshiva, Luca, and Kijje marched towards the Guradoah in the northeast of the Grameus continent. Since they returned, the 200 beasts including trolls that were left behind in Darelgulla castle were made to work around the clock to hasten the reconstruction of the Demon Lord's Army.

### Post-Great Race-Demon War

Three months later since the Demon Lord was sealed, Malastras has taken the mantle of the premier of Guradoah, as well as the task of rebuilding the Demon Lord's Army. The goblins and the orcs were on the verge of being wiped out. After fighting Ta Lou, Kenshiva, Luca, and Kijje, they were fearful of them and were weaker. He then employed the trolls to go scouting, which is not what they were normally used for, and on top of them being turned to stone at the mere exposure to sunlight, he still had no choice but to employ them. The troll that reported to Malastras had come from a reconnaissance patrol of Grameus’s western regions that Commander Esperanto and the races were settling the place for yielding the probability of survival. He decided to proceed to go to the location reported by the troll.
