The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
A rock troll zombie is a towering sight to behold. Standing well over the height of two giantkin combined, the troll zombie is clad in rock armor, composed entirely of granite. Golden embers burn with a hatred of life out from under the zombie's massive granite helm.
Hunting strategies
Sometimes the rock troll zombie uses a turn to "backpedal", which increases its physical DS by a large amount until its next action. It appears to have a greater chance to perform its tackle maneuver right after backpedalling, but this is not confirmed. Note that its bolt DS and all TDs are unaffected by backpedalling.
