Description

This ancient troll sleeps deep in the swamp subsiding on the filth of the swamp for years or decades at a time.  They grow to massive proportions with parts of the swamp adding to their girth and stature.  

They wake when a sizable enough meal comes into their area or when a "Swamp Pixie" tries to lead a party to it's doom.

The Ancient Troll uses pods connected to the swamp to slowly digest creatures over a long period of time.
