“ Eat yer greens! I did, now look at me! ” —Knuckles Orv, half-troll bandit leader Many have thought of trolls as a renewable food source. Whatever you cut off will grow back at a certain pace, so as long as you can keep the troll subdued and avoid it from die of severe blood loss you can have as much meat as you like. The more they eat, the more their hunger for troll flesh grows. Slowly, they mutate and gain the features of trolls, including their ability to regenerate. Eventually, these half-trolls will completely mutate into full trolls. Humanbeings, goblinoids, ogres and many other creatures with humanoid structure are vulnerable to the mutation of half-troll. Dwalvens and halflings have a certain resistance to this effect which stops the mutation at the process of troll flesh addiction. Elevens, feys and giants are totally immune to this effect, most of these folks also tend to avoid eating the flesh of another sensitive which further keep them away from mutation.
