Description
"Thems in-walk troll house. Troll say, "Out mans!" But they wham-a-wham troll rocks. So troll wham, too!”
– Cave troll known as Wham-a-Wham
trolls come across as dim-witted, ponderous, slow - stupid, to be frank. It's easy to dismiss them - and even easier to enrage them. When this happens, one's best bet is to run as fast as possible, for an angered troll is as deadly as a thundering landslide. This truth is held in absolute when the rare of breed of troll known as cave trolls are concerned.
Cave trolls are believed to be one of two off-shoots of the rock troll. One off-shoot took to living high up in isolated snowy peaks, becoming the ice trolls. The other took to living as far beneath the earth as the ice troll live above it. The cave trolls live in deep underground caverns rife with geological and thermal activity.
Just as ice trolls draw their strength from the cold, cave trolls draw their strength from heat. Fire can cause them no harm and they possess hides infused with volcanic rock and living magma that exude a face melting aura of extreme heat. Due to their habit of settling in caves rife with precious gems and metal veins it is not uncommon for them to come into conflict with people as their mines stretch further and further downwards. aggression towards them will be met with blows that strike like battering rams as once they have chosen a cave as a home, they will defend it t0 the death.
