Trollkin
These are lesser beings than Trolls, and the people call them Trollkin. They lack the size and strength and invincibility of their forebears, though they are still larger and more fierce than mankind. They have ill favoured aspect, more like beast than human. They still dwell underground or in dark haunted places and their hatred for humanity is all the more fierce because of the speculation on both sides that their origin resulted from some forbidden ancient breeding between the two races.
Trollkin are warlike and cruel but they are not all simple brutes. They have a gift of supernatural stealth and can move silently wherever shadows fall and they can command beasts of ill omens such as bats, and snakes and ravens and slinking night predators.
Among the Trollkin are sorcerous Trollkin Hags, witches of the Trollkin race who deploy dreadful magic against their foes.
