Homebrew Half-Troll Species Details
Half-Trolls are the result of genetic mingling between other races of humanoids, usually humans, and the race of mutant giants called Trolls. Like their Troll parents, they have tremendous appetites and powerful metabolic abilities. However, despite still having a passionate and mercurial temperament, the average Half-Troll is markedly less chaotic and wild than a full-blooded Troll.
Half-Trolls bear visible signs of their giant heritage. Like goliaths, they tower over most other medium humanoids, but unlike goliaths their proportions are distinctly non-humanoid. A half-troll's arms and legs are very long compared to the rest of his or her body, and they walk with a troll's hunched gait. They tend to grow thick, sharp fingernails, though still noticeably blunter and shorter than a troll's, and tough growths on their shoulders and backs.
Half-Trolls have a variety of skin-colors, mostly greens, blues, and greys in a variety of shades. Most have either yellow or green eyes or eyes like their other parent's species. Additionally, most Half-Trolls have larger noses, smaller eyes, and sharper teeth than humanoids without troll blood. Half-Trolls tend to have thick hair that grows out very quickly. Dreadlocks and braids are very common hairstyles, although facial and body hair is uncommon.
