Homebrew Trollkin Species Details
In ancient times ogres, trolls, and fey sometimes took on humanoid mates. Their descendants are the trollkin. Tall and lanky with brutish appearance, trollkin are seldom welcome among civilized peoples. As a result they tend to live in isolated tribal settlements and subsist on hunting and raiding.
Skin Deep
With a thick hide of green and brown, trollkin are superficially similar to orcs or hobgoblins. While most trollkin share a rough and unkempt appearance their humanoid lineage can show itself in a wide variety of ways. Some trollkin could even be considered beautiful by human standards, except for some subtle mark of monstrosity, such as stone grey skin or talon-tipped fingers.
Many trollkin wear tattoos to show tribal loyalty or to venerate ancestors. The bravest among them brand their flesh with acid or flame to show mastery of their fear, since those two elements are the only things that leave long lasting marks on their skin.
