Dark Trollkar
Dark Trollkar are an elusive and mysterious subgroup of dark-skinned Trollkar. According to scattered reports,Dark Trollkar live a primarily subterranean existence rarely venturing onto the surface. this subterranean existence has molded them and granted them unique boons and physiology. Dark Trollkar are the shortest of their kin the tallest among them standing a head shorter then the average trollkar, they have grey to black skin that resembles the same color as a desiccating corpse; this has given them the ability to remain almost unsettlingly motionless making them indistinguishable from a corpse. However this cave-dwelling lifestyle over the centuries has also made them sensitive to sunlight.
