Official Biography[]
Species: Multi Headed Humanoid
Born: In Scandinavia during the Ice Age
Size: 4 Feet Tall
Habitat: Lives in caves and mountains above the arctic circle
The evil Jotun Troll is no doll! He's the son of the Norse God of Frost and although he's only four feet tall, he's fairly easy to pick out in a crowd - he has eight heads! This monster has the magic ability to create blizzards and avalanches to bury his enemies. Although he's surprisingly powerful for such a small creature, this bearded wonder is really known for his skills using clubs and spears. The Jotun Troll is also much more intelligent than the giant trolls. (If you thought two heads were better than one - just imagine having eight!) Nicknamed the "Talking Heads," you have probably guessed that this guy's secret weapon is his ability to talk you to death!
