Giant two-headed trolls are the vicious offspring of trolls and ettins. In appearance they look most like trolls, though they have two heads like an ettin and prefer wearing filthy animal skins as ettins do. Giant two-headed trolls are nocturnal and prefer underground dwellings such as dungeons or caverns, but only have the standard 60-ft infravision.

Special Abilities

Multi-headed Combat — In combat the giant two-headed troll has two claw attacks for 1d6 points of damage each and which can be directed at two different opponents. It also has two bite attacks for 1d10 damage each but bite attacks must be directed at the same opponent.

Regeneration — This variety of troll can regenerate 1 hp per round but cannot rebond severed limbs, and severed limbs will not attack independently.

Alert Heads — Like an ettin, this ettin-troll crossbreed can have one head sleep while the others stays alert for danger and thus it can only be surprised on a 1 in 6.

Infravision — 60-ft infravision.
