Description

The scavenger troll closely resembles its cousin, the wood troll in appearance and ugliness. Hulking and heavily muscled with rough bark-like skin, it stares down at you with scrutinizing eyes as if wondering whether you have anything worthwhile. Bits of tattered cloth and leather cling to its grotesque form in a haphazard parody of clothing, souvenirs scavenged from the bodies of many a luckless adventurer.

In Depth

Scavenger trolls used to steal weapons (snatch em right outta your hand!), collect items from the ground, and reportedly, GASP! loot corpses and grave-rob. If a scavenger troll despawned or its corpse decayed with your items in its possession, those items would be lost forever. Tuesday Tidings 98, released in January 2022, removed their weapon stealing special attack and revamed their scavenging mechanics.

Now, scavenger trolls will absolutely take (destroy) any coins, gems or treasure boxes they find left lying about -- if you care about loot, don't leave it on the ground!

• The scavenger troll exclaims, "I dinks I like dis treasure! You no take!" He quickly snatches up a sturdy oaken box and a medium grey kunzite.
  
• The scavenger troll exclaims, "I dinks I like dis treasure! You no take!" She quickly snatches up a silver coin, some bronze coins and some copper coins.
  

Scavanged treasure is not recoverable. It is immediately destroyed. However, the trolls now ignore other items, such as equipment and random creature drops.

• The scavenger troll grunts and asks, "You no drop things for me?"
  
• The scavenger troll scoffs and asks, "Nuttin else for picking up?"
  

Area Information

• The hunting area is labeled: A dangling wooden sign reads: "DanJuR: SkAVjnUr TRulLz"
  
• The Gorbesh Fortress interior (Mess Hall, Meeting Room, Officers' Quarters, Barracks, Storage, and Stable) environments prevent Anther's Call from working (The wood underfoot creaks slightly, but nothing else happens.) on the scavenger trolls found there. The spell functions normally in the exterior (Firepit, Practice Yard) environments.
