Acidic Skin. When each creature within 5 feet of the troll hits it with a melee attack, that creature takes 7 (2d6) acid damage.
Regeneration. The troll regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn. If the troll takes cold damage, this trait doesn’t function at the start of the troll’s next turn. The troll dies only if it starts its turn with 0 hit points and doesn’t regenerate.
Multiattack. The troll makes one Bite attack and two Claw attacks.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage. The target takes an additional 3 (1d6) acid damage at the start of its next turn.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage.
Acid Spray (Recharge 6). The troll secretes acid at a rapid rate, and fails its arms forward releasing a spray of poison in a 15-foot line. Each creature in the line must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 18 (4d8) acid damage and is covered in acid. Until they take an action to wipe off the acid, or submerge themselves in water, they take an additional 2d6 of acid damage at the start of their turn. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't covered.
Description
A troll that is severely burned by acid can absorb that acidity in to themselves...their burns never fully heal, and they perpetually ooze acidic slime which they can use to their advantage in combat.
Trolls
Trolls that are nearly obliterated but survive and regenerate from mere scraps of flesh can display bizarre features. Radically transformed trolls like the rot trolls, spirit trolls, and venom trolls that follow are especially likely to arise when trolls regenerate in the presence of magical emanations, planar energy, disease, or death on a vast scale, or if their bodies were damaged by elemental forces. These unusual forms can also be produced and shaped by the ritual magic of evil spellcasters or by trolls’ own practices, as is the case for dire trolls.
Vaprak the Destroyer
Although trolls are rarely devout and seldom ponder spiritual questions, some fear and venerate the entity known as Vaprak the Destroyer. Vaprak’s true nature is something of a mystery, but Vaprak is always portrayed as a horrid, misshapen, greenish creature strongly resembling a troll. Vaprak is given to fits of mindless destruction and uncontrollably fears the plots and ambitions of other deities.
Vaprak’s troll worshipers believe this god devours the souls of those who have been cooked or digested (slain by fire or acid). Otherwise, the god spits the soul back into the world to regenerate a new body.
