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

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.
