Sea-Troll

Sea-Trolls are, as their name implies, trolls that live in the sea. They terrorise those who live in coastal villages and fishing ports, and often hunt ships and boats for food.

Appearance
Sea-Trolls are large, almost a head taller then most humans and nearly twice as wide. They have thick green skin, and sea-weed like hair that goes along their back like a mane. They have webbed feet, to help with swimming, but their hands are not webbed, which leaves their hands free to wield weapons. They are covered in thick, mossy green fur which helps them blend in with the water.

Diet
The Sea-Troll's main diet is human. They could eat other fish under the sea, but to our knowledge they only eat men, women and children. They storm out of the water and on to the shore, reeking havoc for coastal villages. They also swarm ships, and eat the inhabitants.

Regeneration
If a Sea-Troll comes into contact with salt water, it can heal itself and even raise from the dead. This can spell disaster for ships that are attacked by Sea-Trolls, because an injured troll can just slip over board, regenerate, and climb back on deck to fight again. Corpses thrown overboard do the same. However, if the Sea-Troll's head is severed from the body, than regeneration is impossible. Fresh water also heals Sea-Trolls, but at a much slower rate, and cannot bring a Sea-Troll back from death.

Strength's And Weaknesses
A Sea-Troll on its own is not much to contend with. Though they have a slight defense boost due to their thick skin, they can still be easily beaten with a blade. However, it is in their number that Sea-Trolls become a large threat. Their meat is tough and inedible, which means even a ship that survives a Sea-Troll attack will have to spend valuable time and energy hacking off the Sea-Troll's heads before they can be tossed overboard. This can take days, even weeks, as a Sea-Troll's neck is incredibly thick and durable. Surviving these attacks are easier said then done, however, because of the Sea-Trolls regenerative qualities: a heavily injured Sea-Troll can flop over the side of the ship, and come back out of the water minutes later, fully healed.

Sea-Trolls that attack coastal towns and villages have much less of an advantage. They must retreat back to sure to regenerate, although sometimes a freshwater spring is nearby. They wield clubs made from the hull of sunken of ships, and they can use them expertly. They are very strong, able to knock a head from it's shoulders in a swipe or to. However, they are stupid and slow, and can be outrun by children. They are also very bulky, making them a good target for archers. Their fur and mane often get tangled in nets and trees.
