D20 Preferred Environment— Trolls are extremely adaptable and will often change to adapt to a new environment within a generation.

1. Arctic: Prone to thick layers of blubber and arctic camouflage, icicle-like teeth. Often possess a keener intellect than many other trolls as they claim the cold helps them think better.
2. Badlands: Highly superstitious and continuously mobile, their environment offers few places to hide from the sun and little natural sustenance but they are expert scavengers. They claim many of the rocky spires in their homelands are great ancient trolls who’ve been punished or preserved for their deeds.
3. Coastal: Master fishermen and boat crafters, often have horns and are penultimate coastal raiders. Both sexes grow long beards that they often use in place of clothing.
4. Desert: Ruddy/Sandy complexions, exceptional night vision, spends most of the day buried and can dry out and rehydrate like a frog during exceptional droughts
5. Forest: Mottled green/brown skin, tends towards seasonal changes and adaptations such as food caches and hibernation
6. Hills: Often have pronounced hunches, are capable of rolling into a ball for defensive or travel purposes. They are known to often take up refuge in barrows or to dig complex (confused) tunnels below their hilly homes.
7. Jungle: Significantly longer, thinner claws for cutting through undergrowth, much more prone to being solitary and highly territorial to other trolls.
8. Lakes/Rivers: Freshwater adaptations for swimming and digging burrows into banks, often have longer arms and exceptional grip strength– See Prowler Peg, Jenny Greenteeth, grindylow
9. Mountains: Adapted feet or hooves for climbing/holding onto rock faces, often have a relationship with moss and lichen, most craggy/rock-like appearances

11. Plains: Extremely high stamina and capable of long distant pursuit over many days, often have leaner muscle compared to other trolls,  more prone than other trolls to form families or clans
12. Rainforest: Adaptations for brachiation including dexterous feet and lengthed arms, tends towards being smaller than average but just as physically dense.
13. Ruins: Often solitary and prone to being especially brooding and violent, outcasts among their kind. The most likely of trolls to wear armor and weird iron weapons. 
14. Sewers: Vector for a wide variety of diseases they show symptoms for but are otherwise immune to, exceptional geo-spatial sense and memory essentially incapable of getting lost, often accumulate strange hoards of specific lost/thrown away items
15. Subterranean: Blind but highly sensitive other senses, semi-transparent skin, slower metabolisms than other trolls–usually eats one extremely large meal and then goes into relative torpor for long periods
16. Urban: “Civilized” trolls, tend towards being smaller and more gregarious with other species than other trolls but often retain features from their previous heritage. Roll again to determine heritage.
17. Volcanic: Charred appearance and sulphuric smell, significantly more fire resistant than other trolls and have significantly weaker jaws due to much more of their diet being cooked. Volcanic trolls are known to become obsessed with a singular hyperfocus that they hone at the exclusion of nearly anything else.

20. Weird
    1. Abyssal: Wanderers of the bottom of the ocean, covered in bioluminescent polyps  and built to withstand insane pressures. Their regenerative power keep them from dying if they rise to the surface but their bodies take on a non-newtonian state as it continuously tries to melt in the low pressure
    2. Radioactive Wastes: Almost universally mindless abhorrent beings driven mad with mutation and out of control cancers, a small few however unlock a zen-like existence as their bodies feed off and purify the radiation/pollution around them.  
    3. Lunar: Pale wide-eyed creatures whom gravity only has a tenuous hold on, the sun does not turn them to stone but in view of the moon they will float and stare enraptured with catatonic homesickness.
    4. Rot Lands: Possess a symbiotic or perhaps parasitic relationship with fungi as they are often covered in a variety of species in constant sporation. Preferential detritivores, preferring dead and decaying over fresher meals. Might be part of localized hiveminds 
    5. Star Beast Gravelands: Strangely elongated and profoundly slimy, rubbery bodies supported by complex and flexible cartilaginous skeletons, a mouth like something between a remora, a cookie cutter shark and an electric blender, they dive through and infest the gargantuan corpses making them meals and temporary homes at once. They learn strange secrets and terrible wisdom from consuming the brains of these Star-Beasts but only trade it at steep bizarre costs.
    6. Bridgetown: Trolls were possibly the first inhabitants of the Infinite Bridge that stretches across the empty spaces between Crystal Spheres–it was either them or the Gruffolk and they’re not agreeing who was first anytime soon. Squat and toad-like, the main unit of Bridgetown Trolls is a Union rather than a family and they enjoy pursuits such as sewer yodeling, protesting unfair work practices, and armwrestling goat-folk.
