Hill Trolls

Nine to twelve feet tail, Hill Trolls are among the most common of Torog breeds. They are not as loathsome as Cave Trolls (few things are), but are quarrelsome, greedy, and cannibalistic. Most groups live in isolation, although they adhere to their loose (and ever-present) tribal structure when compelled to join. Hill Trolls will attack other beings with clubs and thrown stones, being territorial (as Forest Trolls are not), and save loot because they know that it is valuable, even if they cannot use the treasure. (For instance, one tribe of Hill Trolls had a priceless library of old books in their den, obtained when they ambushed a Magician travelling to visit another of his order; they couldn't read much less use magic, but they guarded the books like gold.) These creatures have a great, if brutish, sense of humor and are fond of practical jokes — pranks that usually leave their victims dead or maimed.
