Great green [[Demon family|goons]] that love to smack and smash anything and everything with their clobbering clubs. Goofily garbed in garish dark magenta fluffy outfits, they're not to be underestimated in battle despite their foolish fashion sense. They often make deadly '''[[Critical Hit]]s''' that can down an adventurer in a single bothersome blow. Sometimes they'll attempt to '''[[Shove]]''' a single enemy right out of battle and out of action.

A pair of boss trolls are faced at the end of the optional [[Troll Maze]] dungeon, preparing to cook the chancellor of [[Argonia]], his wife, and their maid. The party will interrupt them in the middle of their preparations and face them in battle. These boss trolls have nearly double the amount of HP as those faced in regular encounters, though it should not be a difficult encounter.

A pair of boss trolls are faced at the end of the optional Troll Maze dungeon, preparing to cook the chancellor of Argonia, his wife, and their maid. The party will interrupt them in the middle of their preparations and face them in battle. These boss trolls have nearly double the amount of HP as those faced in regular encounters, though it should not be a difficult encounter.
