TROLLS
Trolls that are nearly obliterated but survive and re-
generate from mere scraps of flesh can display bizarre
mutations. One of these warped trolls is especially
likely to arise if the creature regenerates in the pres-
ence of magical emanations, planar energy, disease,
or death on a vast scale, or if its body was damaged
by elemental forces. These mutated forms can also
be produced and shaped by the ritual magic of evil
spellcasters.
