from The History of Britannia ( Ultima IV) Trolls are usually found in hills and mountains. These large and evil creatures can hurl axes-of which they carry a plentiful supply-with frightening accuracy. In Ultima IX, a being that is called a "troll" is just an over-sized goblin.The Pagan troll, the result of the Guardian destroying their minds, is a stupid, huge brute with a club.There are, however, three other types of trolls that differ from the classic Britannian troll: Using an enlarged goblin model, he is encountered on a bridge just before Paws, demanding a toll from the player for safe passage.Īfter first appearing in Ultima III (without their signature throwing axes - making them barely distinguishable from orcs or goblins), trolls changed little in behavior and looks. Pagan trolls are much stronger than trolls in previous Ultima games. This would lead us to believe trolls in Pagan are capable of communicating, though they almost always choose to do so through their clubs. The player may find a book written by the last civilized troll, lamenting the fact that his race are now nothing more than savages, and that his troll peers were insulting and abusive. The Pagan trolls of Ultima VIII were a highly civilized race at one stage. A clan of trolls controls a section of the Stygian Abyss and can be bargained with. Trolls also hurl insults and threats (and sometimes rocks) at the player in Ultima VII whilst attacking.Ī troll is one of the main instigators of the events leading to Ultima Underworld I. In Ultima VII, the player may encounter and converse with an imprisoned troll in the jailhouse of Yew, as well as in the torture chambers below Buccaneer's Den.
Commonly encountered on bridges and lonely roads, trolls are capable of speech, as is evidenced in Ultima VII and both the Ultima Underworlds. Trolls are the bane of travelers everywhere - a sentient race of brutes who achieve victory through surprise, firepower via thrown axes, and strength of numbers.
