Trolls

Chapter 11

A Troll was a magical beast of prodigious strength and immense stupidity. In fact, they were so synonymous with stupidity that they actually had a wizarding exam failing grade named after them. Trolls were grouped in the taxonomical genus Troglodytarum. Trolls possessed rudimentary magic, but it is not known how they applied it. Trolls generally reached a height of about twelve feet and weighed up to a tonne. Troll whiskers had magical properties, and were sometimes used as wand cores, though they were considered inferior to the Supreme Cores. Their feet had two toes, both with giant toenails. They were dangerously violent and incredibly aggressive, and they engaged in unpredictable behaviour, comparable to giants. They were also incredibly low in intelligence, of which giants seemed to have more. Trolls were particularly attracted to unpleasant smells, such as Dungbombs. Trolls, similar to Acromantulas, had a taste for human flesh. They enjoyed it raw, but were not fussy about what they ate. Trolls were also fond of fish.
