Description
Thes armored, fearless and ruthless war trolls are the more intelligent of their kin, however not by much. War trolls are bolstered with armor, weaponry, and experience, they have lived through countless battles and have done nothing but learned from each and every one of them.
They employ the typical brutish troll tactics but take care around casters and creatures wielding torches, making sure to deal with the enemies that can easily fell them by charging towards them and attacking them with reckless abandon.
War trolls often serve as mercenaries to other evil creatures such as orcs, goblins or gnolls and tend to pick up a few bits and pieces of their languages to better communicate with them in battle. However, if they were offered a better deal for their services by an opposing force they would quickly turn on their previous hires in a heartbeat.
