Frost Troll (Skyrim)

"If you think you've seen a troll, remain calm and slowly back away. The wise hunter knows that preparation is the key to success, and you certainly don't want to hunt any trolls unprepared!"

- Finn

s are a species of Troll that behave like their more common cousins, though they are stronger and much more resilient. Just like ordinary trolls, they have a weakness to fire.

Locations
Frost trolls can be found in snowy areas, such as Winterhold, The Pale or Eastmarch, as well as the northrn areas in Solstheim. They are especially fond of caves, but may also be found in abandoned ruins like Labyrinthian. Early in the game, the Dragonborn will encounter a frost troll on the way up the Seven-Thousand Steps to High Hrothgar.

Biology
Frost trolls are ape-like, roughly humanoid creatures with long, muscular arms and claw-tipped fingers. The beasts' large mouths are filled with jagged teeth. Without a doubt, a frost trolls' most distinctive feature is the third eye in the center of the forehead. A frost troll's hide is covered in a thick, shaggy white coat.

Behavior
Frost trolls are typically hostile to most creatures and rarely back down or flee when faced with a more powerful opponent.

Though very strong, they are not very fast. 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, making it easy to get a few free hits on them.

Combat
Like ordinary Trolls, Frost Tolls have the ability to rapidly regenerate, at two heath points per second. As such, a prolonged fight could prove to be very difficult or even fatal at low levels. On further note, a Frost Troll will attack using it's powerful, claw-tipped arms to sledgehammer the target. Speed and aggression are the key to beating a troll.
