Trolls

Trolls are large, hairy, apelike creatures with sharp fangs and claws and long powerful arms. These creatures have three beady black eyes, their skulls being easily recognized by their three eye sockets. Commonly found in forests, Trolls also inhabit caves, ruins, and mountains. While not very intelligent, Trolls compensate with tough physical prowess and the ability to regenerate health. Weak to fire damage, spells, Weapon enchantments, and poisons that deal Fire Damage or raise susceptibility to fire damage.

Painted Troll
The Painted Trolls are trolls painted by the thief in Rythe Lythandas's painting, in the quest A Brush with Death. Upon entering the painting, Rythe will give the player six vials of Turpentine, which deals level based damage to Painted Trolls. It is used as if it were a poison. They drop Painted Troll Fat. The thief was killed by the Trolls. Painted Troll Fat is a rare Alchemical ingredient only found during the "A Brush with Death" quest.

Armored Trolls
These giant Armored Trolls are fierce animal companions. The Dawngaurd use these Trolls to fight vampires. You can buy an Armored Troll for 500 septims from Gunmar in Fort Dawngaurd. An Armored Troll will leave your services if you tell it to wait somewhere for too long. There is a bug ([X-BOX] is the only one I know of) where the Armored Troll will leave your services for no reason if you've had him for a certain amount of time. The Armored Troll counts as your animal companion so you cant have a troll and a dog at the same time. There are two types of Armored Trolls, a normal Troll, and a Frost Troll. Gunmar can never run out of Trolls for your travels.

Frost Trolls


Frost Trolls are creatures that appear in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Frost Trolls are larger in size than those found in Cyrodiil, but move more slowly as well. Frost Trolls are considerably stronger than regular Trolls,and are tough adversaries. Due to the nature of Dragons, it is entirely possible to have a Troll attack a Dragon.

Trolls are weak to fire damage and resistant to frost damage. An area loading screen also mentions their ability to regenerate health as well as their weakness to fire. Trolls should be taken out quickly as a prolonged battle will allow them to heal their wounds.

Trivia

 * Trolls can be useful when raising Destruction, Block, and Armor skills as their health regenerates.
 * Painted Troll Fat cannot be used instead of Troll Fat to get a mounted Troll at Battlehorn Castle.
 * It is not possible to obtain a Troll Skull by slaying a Troll of any kind.
 * Forest, and Frost trolls appear to be loosely based on Bigfoot, and the Yeti respectively.
 * Trolls can open doors and follow you into buildings such as High Hrothgar.
 * Trolls have the same roars as Werewolves.
 * The unique Troll Udefrykte can be fought during the Dark Brotherhood quest, "The Cure for Madness".
 * Frost Trolls were ranked tenth on the list of Top Ten Deadliest Enemies in Skyrim.
 * Using Iceform on a Troll while on a hill causes it to fly about in the air in acrobatic fashion.
 * In Skyrim, goats tend to be plentiful wherever Trolls may be. This may be a reference to the old Troll under the bridge fairy tail Three Billy Goats Gruff. The story itself originated as a Norwegian fairy tale in the mid 1800's, therefore making a perfect easter egg for a Norse mythology based game. Another reference to the children's tale can be found in Oblivion, with a dead troll found under a bridge east of Bravil. A poorly scrawled note details how "No one would pay the bridge toll. Troll drown. [sic]"
 * Another reference to the old Troll under the bridge tale can be found south of Markarth, as there is a dead Troll under a bridge.
 * Trolls are immune to the Savage Strike perk and Devastating Blow perk.
 * The alchemist in Riften refers to how hard it is to acquire Painted Troll Fat, refering to the unique Oblivion ingredient.
