Mountain trolls have two [[attack strength]] boosters preceded by either a howl (+10 AS) and/or a snarl (2x level AS). The snarl messaging does not always result in an AS increase. It is possible for both these AS boosts to stack.

	The mountain troll presence in [[Noralgar Forest]], which is related to [[Castle Anwyn]] and the [[Vvrael]] quest, might be based on their [[Rolemaster]] bestiary description. In this [[ICE age\|I.C.E. Age]] context there was a "Great Corruption" and a "Black Deceiver" who had hidden a gemstone deep in his vaults, where [[Terate]] had the first Stone of Virtue in a chest under Castle Anwyn. The Black Deceiver had a false prophet who told the mountain trolls they would be redeemed by "[[seeker\|seeking]] out the highest mountain peak in the world", where there would be this "large gemstone" which if crushed would make the trolls forgiven. In the Vvrael quest context this would correspond to [[Mount Aenatumgana]], the [[Eye of the Drake]] (dragonsbreath sapphire), and the weeping [[Lorminstra]] at the door of the Drake's Shrine saying "I forgive you, my child..." Trolls more generally come from Scandinavian folklore, such as with changeling myths which are analogous to the fey, and Noralgar might be a pseudo-anagram of Ragnorak fitting the quest's apocalypse subtexts.
