Troll Physiology

"Physically, they could be anywhere from two to fifteen feet tall, with almost any number and arrangement of heads and arms. One and two-headed trolls were the most common, but there were reports of up to a dozen. Some were gangly and spindle-limbed, and others had legs like tree trunks. The saying was that the gods made trolls out of leftovers."

Capabilities[]

User with this ability either is or can transform into a troll (including Fomorians), primal beings that are connected to chaos and the uncontrollable/destructive forces of nature including darkness, mist, cold and others.

Trolls are notoriously variable beings, both in appearance (humanoid, usually) and size (smaller than human to something closer to geological range). The average troll could be described as close to human in size and form, if somewhat homely looking, possibly with horns, unusually shaped/sized ears, a tail and/or fur, and unusual coloration. Some are wildly more variable in the number and/or proportions of eyes, arms and/or heads, they may have scales or skin of rock/bark etc., often large horns and fangs, and larger ones may have trees growing on them. Rarely trolls may even be supernaturally beautiful. Typically, trolls are depicted as inherently supernatural with abilities such as Regenerative Healing Factor, Acidic Bodily Fluids, or Fire Breath.
