Bridge Troll (Witcher 2)

"So I go to the alderman: 'How much will you give me for that troll?' He's amazed. 'What are you talking about?' he asks, 'Who will repair the bridge if the troll's not there? He repairs it regularly with the sweat of his brow, solid work, first rate. It's cheaper to pay his toll."

- A frustrated Geralt of Rivia.

Though Trolls are primitive, they are counted among sapient creatures. The most intelligent breed and the one most often encountered is the bridge troll. They can speak the common tongue fluently, though not very colourfully. They mate in pairs for life and, despite what the spiteful would have you believe, they do have genuine thoughts and feelings. All Bridge trolls share a fondness of building and alcohol. They combine these passions by erecting and maintaining bridges and drinking away the money gained from collecting tolls.

If a Bridge trolls toll goes unpaid, they will likely try to crush the cheapskate by throwing huge rocks at them, with which they are surprisingly accurate. Should you find yourself penniless and having to engage in combat with one, be prepared for a tough fight. Bridge Trolls are enormous beings and are shockingly nimble for their size, so knocking them down or unbalancing them in combat is highly unlikely. Their thick hide grants them protection from mortal weapons and Their ability to regenerate is legendary. However their fast metabolism has a downside however, making them more susceptible to venoms and poisons than other breeds of troll.
