Ecology
Rot Troll is descended from the ancient ordning, occupying mountain holds, deep glaciers, or sky-realms above the clouds. It is most often found in desert regions. It is large-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Rot Troll is proud, rank-conscious, and slow to anger — but devastating when roused. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.
Origin
Rot Troll is reprinted in Monsters of the Multiverse and expanded in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. Giant lineages trace to the ordning, the ancient hierarchy that placed each giant kind in cosmic rank below the gods. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
