Characteristics

Great green goons that love to smack and smash anything and everything with their clobbering clubs. Goofily garbed in garish brown fluffy outfits, they're not to be underestimated in battle despite their foolish fashion sense. They often make deadly desperate attacks 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.

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation

A Boss troll is acting as the king of Manoza when the hero first arrives there. By using the Mirror of Ra, the hero is able to reveal the imposter and fight the boss troll.
