Half-Trolls (Human/Troll)

## Half-Trolls

(Human/Troll)

The unfortunate unions between trolls and humans result in a long nosed, green skinned humanoids with oddly graceful appearances. They are described as being exotic beauties with a fierce passion about them. Half-trolls are about 25% taller than the average human, but they are slimmer, have rounded features, longer ears, short and sturdy claws, and little hair except on the head where it is long, fast growing, and straight. Rarely, half-trolls can also develop tusks. Their bodies, much larger than a human’s with an overabundance of muscles, are gender neutral. Half-trolls are of one sterile gender due to the genetic mixture of their parents. Despite the lack of defining gender characteristics, half-trolls most commonly identify as “female,” but they tend to use gender neutral pronouns to describe themselves. A small minority choose to identify as male and prefer a life suited to the masculine gender role in society.

While half-trolls are rare, the child is almost always carried to term without issue, if the mother is a troll. Human mothers cannot carry the child to term because her body detects a danger to her own life.
