Trolls

Trolls are creatures that resemble an ape with three eyes and shaggy green fur. They are often found in forest areas outdoors, but are occasionally found in caves and ruins.

There are several variants of Trolls found in Tamriel, but most people appear to be familiar with the relatively common Green Trolls, and not much is known about Ice Trolls or Brown Trolls.

Trolls are generally not smart, but are very tough and can regenerate health quickly, thus being very difficult to kill. They are vulnerable to fire.

Trolls are known to make weird hissing and screeching noises, that can startle the player, especially if he or she is in a cave.

Forest trolls will also appear in Skyrim, and are able to wield weapons. As seen in the art, the troll wields a bat.

Painted Troll
The Painted Trolls are trolls painted by the thief in Rythe Lythandas's painting, in the quest A Brush with Death. When you enter the painting, Rythe will give you six doses of Turpentine, which deals varying damage to Painted Trolls based on your level. It is used as if it were a poison. They drop Painted Troll Fat.

Note: Painted Troll Fat is a rare Alchemy ingredient only found during the A Brush with Death quest.
