Homebrew Emnian Mountain Troll Species Details

Growing up in the freezing wilds, Mountain Trolls have been gifted the ability to regenerate their wounds much more quickly than most other humanoid races. Trolls are extremely hardy, they have the ability to survive in the coldest of conditions. Their light blue-green skin, bright yellow eyes, large sharp tusks, and deep orange hair is recognized and feared by all who live near enough to be raided mercilessly, as trolls leave little in their destructive paths. They worship the goddess Maruk'Than, a vicious war chieftain who was rumored to have ascended after an especially gruesome battle with over three hundred foes. According to legend, she gifted the mountain dwelling trolls their ability to regenerate and their advanced intelligence, while also being responsible for their fearsome reputation in the folktales and rumors of old. Trolls raid in parties, with guerrilla tactics being used by their chieftains to great effect. There are many different sizes of Mountain Trolls, the most intelligent also being the smallest of the bunch. Their sizes scale from humanoid trolls, to huge, hulking beasts that wield full tree trunks as improvised bludgeoning weapons. The lifestyle of a troll usually consists of violent pillaging, heavy drinking, and long days of difficult travel through icy regions.
