Bred for battle, even a single war troll is a nigh-unstoppable force on the battlefield. Able to cut through dozens of opponents, war trolls are only found serving the most powerful warlords. They often serve as mercenaries, but roving bands of war trolls, while rare, can be exceptionally deadly. Much more disciplined than most trolls, war trolls are capable of following intricate instructions and fight with a tactical finesse almost unknown among the lesser giants. Many a warrior has underestimated a war troll, and it is almost always the last thing that he does. |
