About

The river troll is an absolutely massive type of troll. These huge trolls make their homes in lakes and rivers. They hunt for prey and will attempt to drown their victims. Unlike other trolls, these monsters refuse to serve anyone else.

At Home in the Water. Although they are huge in size, river trolls are actually quite good swimmers. They are also amphibious and use this trait to surprise their victims. River trolls can hide on the bottom of large rivers or lakes for hours.

Deadly Drownings. These horrid monsters are extremely strong and can usually drown their opponents. River trolls can also do extensive damage to objects and structures.

Fears Fire. Attacking the river troll with fire is the only way to stop them from regenerating.
