River Trolls
Beware the most polluted lakes and waterways, where folk are pulled right out of their boats and down to their doom!As with all Troll varieties, the River Troll’s hunched appearances belies its powerful nature. Having physically adapted to their environment of bogs or untamed riverbanks, their skin often combines features seen in other trolls being warty, slimy, and scaly all at the same time. They are truly one of the foulest examples of the diversity amongst Trolls, partially submerging themselves in swamps or brackish ponds in order to sneak up on their prey and ambush them. The only chance their victims may have is that they absolutely reek of rotten fish, meaning their presence can sometimes be smelled before attacks take place. In times of war, they happily haul their smelly masses out of their waterholes to follow any Warbosses promising them a chance to gorge their bloated bellies on man-flesh – or any other sort of flesh for that matter.

Abilities
- Overwhelming Odour
"If you thought them Hags smelt bad from a distance, just wait until you get up close…" - Regeneration
There are beings and creatures that can mend bone and knit flesh at an incredible rate. A mighty boon, but one stunted by fire.
Attributes
- Causes Fear
This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing their leadership when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack. - Hide (forest)
This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Slimy Shanks
River Trolls gain benefits when fighting in their natural watery habitat – and the wretched smell of river detritus that surrounds them weakens nearby enemies. - Poor Leadership
This unit suffers from poor Lord or other encouraging units nearby. - Regeneration
flaming attacks will cause more damage to units with Regeneration. - Aquatic
Whereas some units struggle to fight and move in shallow water, aquatic units excel.
