Trolls

Trollkin are creatures descended from Elder Trolls.
Often, Trollkin clans will be led by an Elder or Lesser Troll. Otherwise whatever is of highest purity Troll blood will typically lead.

## Elder Troll

Elder Trolls possess four arms, combined with a powerful set of legs for a total of six limbs, Additionally, ruthless determintation and a cunning intellect pair with advanced regenerative abilities, capable of regrowing limbs within minutes, the Elder Troll is a dangerous creature. One of, if not the most relentless and resilient creatures to walk Yaerin. Elder Trolls are often worshipped as gods by lesser species.

### Genetics

The genetic composition of such creatures are unknown. Elder Trolls lay claim to powerful and dominant genes paired with prolific breeding behaviours. This results in the crossbreeding of Trolls and Humanoids. The result of such interbreeding is the Pure Orc. Breeding with said Pure Orc will result in the birth of a Bull Orc. Breeding with another Elder Troll will produce a Lesser Troll.

### Appearance

Bright green skin, a triangular defined head and a heavily muscled body. A long torso attatched to six limbs, two powerful hind legs and four thick and defined arms. Elder Trolls will chase and climb at frightening speeds with all six limbs. The additional arms are especially helpful when hurtling through a forest, as they act like catapults, vaulting from tree to tree.
Standing straight, an Elder Troll is all twelve foot tall. Often bearing little armour, with the exception of decorative trophies. A full head of untamed hair and scarred yet thick skin often adorn an Elder Troll.
Female Elder Troll are of a lesser intellect but compensate with additional ferocity. With an additional set of smaller arms and a larger more muscled body, females are equipped with claws capable of cutting stone. Although they prefer not to, females stand a grand sixteen foot tall.

### Nature

Elder Trolls are often considered evil by more civilised races, although they simply follow their genetic prerogative. They are an Elder Race, with power akin to a lesser god. They are no more evil for the murder and slaughter than a guard is for beating a vagabond.
Often conquering small villages, feeding on the men and livestock and breeding the women to bolster it's armies ranks. While a Male will seek out a female in its lair to breed a Lesser Troll, it will mostly seek to conquer greater and larger villages and cities before attempting siege of cities. It is rare that even when butchered into a crippled chunk of flesh, that an Elder Troll will truly die. They will heal and reattempt their war with vengeance.

## Lesser Troll

Lesser Trolls are the resulting offspring of Elder Trolls. With a pair of arms and legs, they show a slightly greater intelligence than the female and are capable of speaking broken common. They have regenerative abilities capable of healing lost limbs over the span of a day

### Genetics

Born in litters of two to six of an Elder Troll. The gestation period lasts sixteen months. Lesser Trolls are all male and produce Pure Orcs when breeding with Humanoids or Pure Orcs.

### Appearance

Lesser Trolls are a paler green than their parents, with a longer snout and a thinner body. Unlike Elder Trolls, they have a single pair of arms and are covered in defined, lean muscle. They stand ten foot tall, typicall with a full head of hair.

### Nature

Lesser Trolls inherit the violent urges and hunger for flesh born from their ancestors. To fulfill these needs, they often join the army of their father or another Trollkin army. Some Trolls choose to defend the lair of their mother, or strike out on their own. Often the latter will build a warband of Trollkin to serve under them.
