Vaprak the Destroyer
Although trolls are rarely devout and seldom ponder spiritual questions, some fear and venerate the entity known as Vaprak the Destroyer
                                                
                                            
                                                
                                                     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.Poison
