Frost Troll (Skyrim)

s are a sub-species of Trolls found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. They behave identically to regular Trolls, however they are typically stronger and much more resiliant.

Locations
Frost Trolls can be found around any area that has a heavy amount of snow and constant blizzards, such as Winterhold, The Pale or Eastmarch. They are also especially fond of caves or dens, but can also be found within abandoned ruins like Labyrinthian.

Biology
Frost trolls are roughly man-shaped, with lengthy, muscular arms that end in claw-tipped fingers. The creature's large mouth is filled with jagged teeth. Without a doubt, the troll's most distinctive feature is the third eye nestled in the center of its forehead. A frost troll's hide is covered in a thick, shaggy white coat.

Behaviour
Frost Trolls are typically hostile to most creatures and rarely back down or flee when faced against a more powerful predetor.

They are incredibly fast and strong for their size. A troll prefers to pummel its prey into submission with powerful arm strikes and claw attacks. Occasionally they will roar mid-battle or beat their fists on the ground.

Battle Strategy
Trolls also have the ability to rapidly heal from their wounds. As such, a prolonged fight could prove fatal. Speed and aggression are the key to beating a troll.

The most effective way to kill Frost Trolls, like all trolls, is with Fire. Fire spells, especially high-powered ones like Firebolt or Fireball are most effective as they can be fired at long range, keeping one out of harm's way. If a Frost Troll is close to the player, Firestorm can be useful, if the player has a high level in Destruction magic. If such spells are unavaliable then arrows and a fire-enchanted bow is highly recommended - the farther away one is from a troll, the better.

Fire-enchanted weapons are useful too, but require battle at close quarters, which may prove problematic. To counter that the player can use the Quick Reflexes block perk, as Frost Trolls almost always use power attacks and the time slowing effects can be used to dodge most of their attacks.
