Normally, undead trolls can't regenerate, but necromancers have long quested to create an undead troll that would retain that ability. The results of such experimentation were successful and produced the first fleshtearer trolls. The method of creating fleshtearer trolls is thought to involve vampires, as like them they are vulnerable to sunlight, but while fleshtearers absorb life energy through their bite, they don't drink blood. Some believe that fleshtearer trolls might one day become living trolls again. Undead Nature. A fleshtearer troll doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep. |
