These horrible creatures are the result of crossbreeding trolls with hill giants, resulting in a monster that looks like a troll combined with the large size and pot-belly of a hill giant. The hide of a giant troll is reddish brown and they have tough wiry black hair, bulbous nose, and red rimmed eyes.

Giant trolls are very strong and when fighting with their favoured weapon, a giant spiked club, they inflict 2d8 points of damage. They carry this weapon with them everywhere, even in their lair, but if encountered without it they will fight with their clawed hands. When using their natural weaponry giant trolls attack twice per round for 1d6 points of damage each, and is easily capable of attacking two different targets in the same round. Giant trolls also have extremely fast reflexes and are able to snatch a missile from the air 25% of the time. If it is a missile suitable for throwing (example: spear, rock) the giant troll will throw it back as its next attack.

Giant trolls are found in every climate except desert. They have 90-ft infravision and an acute sense of smell as well as the troll’s racial trait of absolute fearlessness.
