This massive, three-headed dire troll is a masterpiece of body horror, featuring four clawed arms and a secondary, tooth-filled maw located in its belly. Standing at a towering 67mm, its aggressive, multi-limbed pose makes it the perfect centerpiece for a terrifying high-level boss encounter.
A mutated giant-kin is charging forward in a blind, multi-headed frenzy, reaching out with its many claws to rend its enemies.
This is a quintessential 'Boss' or 'Mini-Boss' monster. It would serve as the climax of a mid-to-high level dungeon crawl or a significant outdoor threat that requires a full party of veteran adventurers to take down.
