Troll

Trolls are Scandinvian Others who roam the mountains, this may be due to their strong connection to the Element of earth. They can be (wrongly) confused with Ogres.<ref name=hil/>

Uses

Because of their strength, Trolls are often used as muscle by practitioners if bound. There are reportedly few of them left since they aren't very subtle, with only the strongest or the smartest remaining free, an example of the selection pressure practitioners and other groups can exert.<ref name=hil/>

Notable Trolls

Hildr<ref name=hil>

He looked the thing over. “An ogre? No. Not an ogre of any type I’ve read about.”

“No,” Sandra said. “A troll. Scandinavian. My family offered to pay for a trip, to reward me for completing my degree early. I took the time to go looking.”
[...
]“There aren’t many trolls nowadays,” he said. “They don’t hide themselves well.”

“Most have been hunted or bound already. The ones who have remained are either exceptionally strong, or they are very strong and very cunning. Hildr is more the latter.”

“I see. And it takes an exceptionally strong and cunning individual to bind one that has survived alone these last few centuries. I didn’t expect that of you.”

“There’s more to me, more to us, than you might see on the surface.”

“And a… stoat?”

“More fitting a form for a troll than you might think. Foul smelling, tied to the earth due to their inclination to live underground, large for their species, predatory, with a voracious appetite. Surprisingly vicious in a fight. Not well liked.” - Excerpt from Interlude 14</ref>

Unknown Troll pack<ref>[Sharon Griggs] would later depart the group when she heard gunshots and became convinced they were trying to subvert her by pretending there were really trolls. Her untimely departure led to them being devoured. - 4.8 Bonus Material: Dossiers</ref>

Trivia

As with any mythical creature what exactly constitutes a "troll" is highly variable.
