Trolls

Trolls are/were a race of somewhat mindless humanoid monsters who live much, much farther underground than the Dwarves have dared to actually expand. They were, for a long time, thought to be extinct. With recent attacks within deep-running mine-shafts the Dwarves are insisting they never were extinct but merely in hiding. They are large, hulking creatures ranging between seven to eight feet tall with leathery gray-green skin and powerful muscles and they, as known from the past, run on baser instincts only for their own survival. Their actual lifespan is unknown, as most don't tend to make it past fifty years without being killed by whoever they happen to be attacking, but they can respawn like crazy and do so asexually, often spawning several offspring at a time, and they mature quickly. The last time anybody actually saw them alive in any great number, they were capable of speaking to you but were limited to crass threats and basic things like food, water, hungry and kill. Since no one has had a chance to study them in hundreds of years no one knows what kinds of evolutionary advances they may or may not have made as a race.
