Huge and dangerous, the hill troll towers above even a tall giantman. Grey skin so thick that it serves quite well as armor covers most of the troll, with tufts of thick hair sprouting here and there like weeds between cracked stones. A hideous grin splits its face displaying fangs crusted with dried blood and less guessable matter. No light of intellect glows in its narrow piggish eyes. The lust for slaughter and thirst for blood are what drive this hulkish beast's existence.
Hunting strategies
Hill trolls are particularly susceptible to fire attacks, even when compared to other trolls. Using fire flaring weapons or fire based spells when hunting them will make them easy prey for just about any character.
Other information
Hill trolls like many other members of the troll family creatures are able to regenerate missing or injured body parts and lost health.
A hill troll's flesh wounds regenerate some.
A hill troll's left leg regenerates and looks much better.

Hill trolls gain an attack strength boost of +32 AS (not coincidentally twice their base level).
A hill troll snarls menacingly as he advances!
This messaging will always precede an AS boosted attack but frequently there is no boost subsequent to the snarl messaging.
