===Troggoths=== Troggoths are pretty much the classic idiot troll. They’ve always existed in the Mortal Realms and no one is quite sure where they came from. Numerous legends are told by the Destruction factions on how they came to be, ranging from crawling out of the funk between Gorkamorka’s green toes, to being actual aliens from the Bad Moon who rode down to the Realms on its Fangs. They come in a couple varieties: Fellwater (River), Rockgut (Stone), and Dankhold (Mountain), with a passing mention of a fourth Sulphurbreath (Fire) variety. Fellwater Troggoths love to live in stinky swamps, fetid bogs, and stagnant pools, and stink so bad even ghosts hate them. Rockguts have the unique magical power to reshape rock and stone with their bare hands, but instead of using this power to create beautiful works of art or massive underground cities, they use their powers to scoop big rocks to throw at the enemy or make basic clubs out of. Lastly, Dankhold Troggoths are a strange breed that have hard, rocky flesh that fungus of all types can grow in. They also love to sleep, often sleeping for hundreds of years. Dankhold Troggoths also change size based on their environment, like huge humanoid fungus-goldfish, and if a Dankhold decides to squeeze itself into a tiny crevice, he'll wake up half his original size. Conversely, if a Dankhold sleeps in a huge, open cavern, he'll awaken taller than a Gargant. Lastly Dankholds love to eat fungus, especially fungi that grow on Realmstone veins, and instead of dying on the spot from consuming highly magical and radioactive fungi like any sensible creature, the Dankhold Troggoth internalizes the magic, making them magic resistant in the highest degree. There are several other Troggoth species mentioned in passing in other battletomes and sources. Sulphurbreath Troggoths had half a sentence written about them in a White Dwarf article and live in the crevices in volcanos. Deepwater Troggoths were mentioned in promotional material for the Idoneth Deepkin, most likely an oceanic breed, which were actually present in Warhammer Fantasy as Sea Trolls, also called "Shugons". The Mirebrute Troggoth is another swamp-dwelling species that has been cowed into servitude by the Kruleboyz Orruks, as is the Marshcrawla Sloggoth, which is forced onto all fours and adapts to be quicker, serving as a mount for the Grots who work for the Kruleboyz. The Angujakkak is a creature described as resembling a hybrid of Deepwater Troggoth and Mega-Squid. Troggoths don’t really act as a unified group, no troll king barking orders or whatnot. Staying true to the classic "wild giant only here to fuck your shit up," Trogherds are formed when random groups of Troggoths just start to follow the lead of a bigger Troggoth, for no reason or goal other than to rampage. Even a Dankhold Troggboss only leads his "army" through some sort of poorly understood instinctive leadership or alpha quality, and most Troggbosses are too stupid to read, or even speak. This does not stop them from causing ridiculous amounts of destruction as they blunder through farmsteads, homes, villages, or even cities as the leader picks a direction and just starts walking, with a dozen or two other species of Troggoths following him close behind. Apparently they also have their own afterlife, the Droogrind.
