Gaelotrolls are the rarest of the various types of troll, the largest, and also the most dangerous.
They are usually not found among the raiding parties of the smaller trolls, and as such their existence was overlooked for many years. It is said that gaelotrolls sparked Arvil Powlear's interest in trolls, and ultimately extinguished it when he got too close to one in 3425 EK. Whatever notes he was working on at that time were destroyed by the gaelotroll's acid, along with his body.

Best known for ambushing travelers crossing bridges, trolls pose a threat for any inexperienced adventurer.
Healthy and fast-healing, they are eager to pummel their resistance with both boulders and their handy club, knowing they can outlast most advesaries in close combat. They fear little other than fire.
The hide of a troll makes fantastic leather, and is usually in demand among tanners and leatherworkers. The resultant leather is frequently made into armors and other adventuring gear, as its durability is sought by the very people who put it through the most action.

Armored trolls often serve as shock troops in troll raiding parties, keeping opposed melee fighters occupied while other the trolls do their thing.
Interstingly, most troll armor appears to serve no functional purpose. Troll researcher Arvil Powlear posited that it may be a form of insignia for a given troll raiding party.

The shield they carry is almost exclusively decorative, painted with crude pigments and symbols. It is common they break early in combat. It is unclear what purpose this serves to the trolls.

lore
Small trolls seem to be a different variety of troll than the larger ones. In 3416 EK, troll researcher Arvil Powlear determined, though years careful observation of troll social structures, that the small troll is a separate type of troll from their larger cousins. He also found that trolls were surprisingly egalitarian within their social circles.
Small trolls will often serve as backup when large trolls go raiding, helping screen combatants and agress archers and casters that would otherwise be out of reach for the large trolls.
