Trolls are a lot like Ogres in the sense there's so many different versions of them. Do violent animals, to smart enough to talk but very dumbly. To being hurt/turned to stone by sunlight to immune to sunlight. Often times they can just be giants or small giants.I do like the new AoS trolls GW has made ut they've gone into the 'long floppy ear' troll aesthetic your pic also does.
WoW trolls being blue warhammer trolls but with longer trolls and are jamaicans with voodoos magic is the worst type of troll ever conceived

Of the "Greenskin" races they are the least civilized, no petty nations or warbands for the trolls. They aren't animals, but they're pretty dumb, living solitary lives of simple evil similar to hags. They'll work with orcs and goblinoids if they can be convinced or cowed into obedience, but otherwise they're as likely to eat them as much as a passing human or halfling.Unless it's Warcraft trolls, then I'm just interested in porn.

I honestly prefer them as more of the large, norse fey rather than just dumber and uglier giants. In the same vein, trolls should all be otherworldly monstrous, though I do prefer the idea of female trolls being contrastingly grotesque blends of attractive, ugly and inhuman features, like pic related.

I posit a geneaology of Trollkind that mirrors their descent through myth.>Rimtursar - Primordial Frost-Giant, basically a race of evil corporeal gods.>Jotunn - Devolved "Modern" Frost Giant, see above, but more along the lines of "Demigods">Trow - greatly devolved, loss of intellect and elemental affinity besides frost resistance, but retains an innate power of shape-changing and illusion, dwells on Northern islands.>Troll - Most degenerated, most widespread, widely recognized; ice resistance has been lost, is left with a weakness to fire, has gained the ability to regenerate - borderline animal intelligence - flip a coin, heads it can speak in halting sentences, tails it's totally feral.

In my setting Trolls are said to be borne of the cursed union of the god of the orcs and the god of the dwarfs, they are stone-like with rough rocky exteriors and not inherently dumb or violent, in fact many often find work as mercenaries and guards in the border reaches where the land is poorly settled and dangerous, but they have a prodigious appetite. They eat as an adult human as a child, and that only increases as they grow in size and age. Their rapid metabolism does allow them to heal, even severed limbs can heal eventually, but they need to eat, and can seemingly live forever as long as they eat. Eventually, however, a troll will die if only because it eventually has to consume more food than is actually possible for it to, either because it simply strips the land barren and starves, or because its hunger drove it to devour or attempt to devour a companion, employer, or a generally sentient creature whose own companions took umbrage with that and hunted down and slew it.When trolls die, they turn to true stone, though this is believed to be a curse. It does keep the cannibalism down, however, but not the murder, as in wildlands trolls are fiercely territorial and keep small numbers, usually only 1-3 trolls can wander in a given area at a time without completely scouring it of fodder. Five or more trolls working together is generally considered cause for alarm as they might just be gearing up to loot a nearby village of all the food and that includes the people in the village. Even the most well equipped and funded mercenary bands still can’t keep a lot of trolls on payroll because trolls eat a LOT and while they might fight like two men, a constantly fighting troll eats like five. A veteran older troll might fight like five men but eat like ten.

Best trolls are nordic, with magic and folklore. They're sneaky but can be tricked surprisingly easily, they're cultured enough to make clothes and tools and art but live in grottoes, they're hospitable to guests but can become cannibalistic if disrespected in obscure ways.The worst trolls are those dnd rubbery regen beasts.

I have a troll encounter I want to use, which is one where the players find a troll that is like 70% arm. If they don't kill it immediately, it proves to be nonhostile, and will explain that it was born here a few days ago. Obviously, it is the arm of some troll that started regenerating a body.If the players take this troll, and assist it in healing to its full size, it will remember its name, history, its diet of humans, and all of its sinister cunning. Which isn't much, but its more than you'd like on something that large.This feels like a dick GM move to pull, but also I really like the implications it has for how troll cognition works. Maybe supernatural healing in general.

In my setting, I make them into fey giants as to distinguish them from other brutish giants like ogres.
They have short tempers which make them the perfect victims for fey pranks and tomfoolery. Left to their own devices, they lead simple agricultural or pastoral nomadic lifestyles, tending to plants and fungi. Essentially craving the peace and quiet they are typically not afforded. This desire for quiet solitude, fey natures, and eye for beauty make them naturally live in the far off reaches of the wilderness, happy to appreciate its splendors. This admiration for the beautiful things of the world also leads to them appreciating art which they sometimes collect or produce. They will also "adopt" human infants and young children they find unattended, thinking them abandoned when no one is there to look after them, they being by their babs at all times this leading to obvious conflict between them and the other races.

My trolls play dumb to outsiders but are actually pretty smart at least in the ranging/survival sense. They have super territorial mudflat fights with elves.
