Trolls are notoriously variable beings, both in appearance (humanoid, usually) and size (smaller than human to something closer to geological range). The average troll could be described as close to human in size and form, if somewhat homely looking, possibly with horns, unusually shaped/sized ears, a tail and/or fur, and unusual coloration. Some are wildly more variable in the number and/or proportions of eyes, arms and/or heads, they may have scales or skin of rock/bark etc., often large horns and fangs, and larger ones may have trees growing on them. Rarely trolls may even be supernaturally beautiful. Typically, trolls are depicted as inherently supernatural with abilities such as [[Regenerative Healing Factor]], [[Acidic Bodily Fluids]], or [[Fire Breath]].
