Description
Named for their near identical silhouette, veracious appetite and for having a similar, troll-like disposition, Cludgeon Troll's are earth elementals with goblinoid and troll characteristics born in the mountains and deserts of the prime material plane. Despite being elemental in origin, Cludgeon Troll's need to eat and breed to continue living/existing. Cludgeon Troll's mate for life, insuring the continuation of both their species & their power, paired Cludgeon Troll's can have a liter of six cludgeon cubs, each of these cubs innately contains the knowledge and power of each generation before. When young, cludgeon cubs need to eat six pounds of meat a day, growing stronger and bigger each day, the way they absorb nutrients from meat lies in their stomach cavity which slowly petrifies meat & flesh in it, compacting the petrified food into a fine dust and small pebbles which they expel from an opening on their hind.
Dragon Slayers. Cludgeon troll dens are often full of treasures and dragon bones with a few uneaten dragon scales, they hunt and eat just about everything, they have a particular taste however for dragon scales and dragon flesh, often going out of their way to hunt down any dragon that dared fly into and land in their territory.
A pair of cludgeon trolls often sack their prey, stealthily sneaking up on the unsuspecting morsel, pouncing at the most opportune time to get the first few hits in.
"We were truly fortunate that day... you see my caravan were the targets of their hunt that day, the only reason that we got out of their alive was because a truly brash and imbecilic white dragon decided to swoop down and steal one of our horses..., the second it did a few dozen of them leaped out of the trees, grounding the dragon and killing it in moments... I still have that image burned into my mind, the clearing was small the vibrant dragon that overshadowed them... and yet there they congregated as the victors, butchering its corpse and taking whole legs back to their dens." - Jarod Leeroyd, Caravan Guard.
