[[Troll]]s are large, fearsome [[creature]]s whose blood has been known to possess 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.
