[[Troll]]s are large, fearsome [[creature]]s whose blood has been known to possess [[regenerate|regenerative]] properties. Different types of troll can be found in all regions of [[Elanthia]], across a wide range of [[level]]s.

For the purposes of the [[Animate Dead]] spell, the level of the troll whose blood a sorcerer has used in the creation of [[crimson salt crystals]] is important for determining [[Maximum Animatable Level]] of that sorcerer with those crystals. Below is a list of the common troll species of Elanthia, their level, and their general location in the world.

Most, if not all, types of trolls take double damage when hit by [[fire]] based spells or weapon flares, and most have regenerative abilities (self-healing, similar to [[empath]] spells).

[[Alchemy|Alchemists]] can [[ALCHEMY EXTRACT (verb)|extract]] [[essence of regeneration]] from the skin of any troll; however, some trolls, notably Agresh troll chieftains, are not skinnable.

==Trolls Hate Fire==
Most trolls take double damage rounds from [[fire critical table|fire]], either from spells or [[flare|flaring]] weapons. Furthermore, as [[ball spell]]s can blossom for a second impact on the same target, it is possible to get multiple hits. If all of these effects are combined together, the results can be absolutely devastating. Combining a fiery ball spell with a fire flaring [[runestaff]] is certainly one of the most effective ways to kill a troll, as shown below.
