Homebrew Erimián Troll Species Details
These trolls originate from Erimiá, a small Netherese enclave that took refuge in the Shadowfell after the fall of Netheril empire. The longer the enclave stayed in the Shadowfell, the more the mythallar and the creatures on the floating wilderness were corrupted. Erimián Trolls are a mutated version of the trolls that inhabited the enclave before it disappeared into the Shadowfell.
Tall and lanky with long corded musculature, Erimián Trolls are very strong and hearty. They generally to have dark green or grey skin, often mottled with dark spots. The less intelligent of the species are quickly killed by the lurking dangers of the Shadowfell, leaving the surviving trolls to be intelligent and adaptive. In order for Erimián Trolls to survive such a hard environment, their bodies developed resilience to disease and poison and heal at an incredible rate. Erimián Trolls have evolved to see well in the perpetual darkness of the Shadowfell, however their time in the dark fetid swamps of Erimiá has made them vulnerable to fire.
Erimián Trolls tend to live isolated lives, constantly in competition for resources, only encountering each other for brief violent mating activities. They generally garb themselves in scraps of clothing and armor and prefer large brute force weapons like clubs and mauls. Erimián Trolls are expert climbers.
