COMBAT A fell troll’s tactics are simple. It bounds up to some unlucky soul and does its best to tear the victim limb from limb. Rend (Ex): A fell troll that hits with both claw attacks latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an additional 4d4+16 points of damage. Double Mind (Ex): Having two heads, fell trolls are difficult to charm, confuse, or otherwise deceive with magic. A fell troll makes two saving throws against any spell or effect calling for a Will save and uses the better of the two results. Regeneration (Ex): Fell trolls take normal damage from fire and acid. If a fell troll loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 minutes. The creature can reattach the severed member instantly by holding it to the stump.

Skills: A fell troll’s two heads grant it a +2 racial bonus on Listen, Spot, and Search checks. Ice Troll Inhabitants of the frozen north, ice trolls are clever and malicious. Like other trolls, they devour humans, dwarves, and other humanoids. Unlike the rest of their foul ilk, ice trolls are skilled armorers and weaponsmiths who craft large and deadly weapons to use in combat. An ice troll stands about 8 feet tall and weighs around 400 pounds. Its gelid skin is a sickly, translucent white, and
Illustration by Steve Prescott and Matt Cavotta pale blood can be seen coursing through veins just below the surface. It has a stoop-shouldered posture and long arms that end in icy claws. Ice trolls favor armor made from the scales of remorhazes or white dragons. Ice trolls speak Giant. COMBAT Ice trolls often begin a fight with a blast of their freezing spittle before wading in to bludgeon their foes with a big, heavy melee weapon. At any moment, an ice troll might cast away weapon and shield to sink its frigid claws into warm-blooded prey. Freezing Spittle (Su): Three times per day, an ice troll can spit a disgusting glob of frigid slime with a range of 20 feet. The troll must make a ranged touch attack to hit. The target takes 1d4 points of cold damage and must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 17) or be nauseated for 1 round. The saving throw is Constitution-based. An ice troll sometimes uses its freezing spittle to extinguish a flame carried by its enemies, such as a lantern or a torch. In this case, the spittle deals no damage to the target, and the bearer may attempt to negate the effect with a Reflex save (DC 17). Cold Subtype (Ex): An ice troll is immune to cold damage. Ice trolls take half again as much (+50%) damage as normal from fire, regardless of whether a saving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or failure. Regeneration (Ex): Ice trolls take normal damage from fire and acid. If an ice troll loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 minutes. The creature can reattach the severed member instantly by holding it to the stump. Scent (Ex): An ice troll can detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell. Mur-Zhagul (Demon Troll) Mur-zhaguls are planetouched creatures descended from the mingling of trolls and demons, much as a tanarukk is descended from orcs and demons. They combine the feral voraciousness of their troll ancestors with the supernatural malice and cunning of their fiendish blood. Demon trolls often live among gangs or bands of normal trolls and usually rise to their leadership. A mur-zhagul bears a strong resemblance to a normal troll, but its skin is a mottled red-orange and tends to be scaly rather than warty. Its head is hairless and its ears are long and MONSTERS OF THE EAST Uthraki 79 pointed. It has a prominent pair of tusks, and a light of hellish glee dances in its fearsome eyes. Mur-zhaguls speak Common, Giant, and Infernal. COMBAT Demon trolls are clever enough to wield weapons and armor if they so choose, but most prefer to rip their prey apart with their bare hands. Rend (Ex): A mur-zhagul that hits with both claw attacks latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an additional 2d6+10 points of damage. Spell-Like Abilities: At will—burning hands, darkness, detect good, jump; 3/day—deeper darkness, invisibility, protection from good; 1/day— haste. These abilities are as the spells cast by a 9th-level sorcerer (save DC 9 + spell level). Regeneration (Ex): Unlike their mundane kin, mur-zhaguls have little fear of acid or fire but take normal damage from holy weapons or blessed weapons. If a demon troll loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 minutes. The creature can reattach the severed member instantly by holding it to the stump. Scent (Ex): A mur-zhagul can detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
